The third generation Firebird is a two-door pony car that was introduced in 1981 and quickly gained popularity due to its unique design that was a departure from the Seventies designs. Throughout the generations, the Firebird and Trans Am models were pop culture icons that made their appearance in a myriad of movies and TV series’. This generation is famous for its star status as KITT in Knight Rider (as well as his evil twin, KARR), and the car was as, if not more popular than David Hasselhoff! The Firebird's popularity and versatility doesn’t stop there, and this was proven by Henderson Motor Works when they decided to convert this American-born muscle car into a replica of a Ferrari 308GTS, as a Miami Vice homage. This is a departure from the norm, as the typical conversion of a third-generation Trans Am is into a KITT replica. This 1986 Trans Am SE model is reported to be Henderson Motor Works’ prototype of a rare production run of 308GTS replicas based on the Trans Am. Only twelve were produced, and this car comes from New York City with 8,200 miles on the clock.
Exterior and Interior
This Miami Vice replica started life as a 1986 Pontiac Trans Am SE before undergoing the cosmetic transformation to look like a Ferrari 30GTS courtesy of a body kit, quad exhaust tips and Ferrari red exterior paint. This replica has new Centerline wheels with recently replaced tires. The weather stripping has been renewed to protect its re-upholstered interior, which features two tones black and gray leather bucket seats. The car accommodates four adults. The fine wood dash hosts a modern convenience in the shape of an upgraded head unit with Bluetooth connectivity. Purists can rejoice, as the original radio is included, and a remote starter has been installed for convenience.
Engine
Whilst the exterior is Italian-inspired, the mechanicals are very much American muscle-derived. This example comes with General Motors’ long serving 305ci (5.0L) V8 engine coupled to an automatic transmission and driving the rear wheels. The engine produced 190bhp when new. All fluids have been flushed and changed, with recently replaced brakes and new calipers as well.
The 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Trans Am Tribute is the kind of second-generation F-body that makes an immediate impression. Finished in Carousel Red over a Black interior and showing approximately 40,520 miles, it combines the desirable Formula 400 foundation with the unmistakable attitude of a Trans Am tribute. The giant hood bird, shaker-style “400” scoop, Trans Am-style graphics, Rally II-style wheels, and raised white-letter Cooper Cobras give it exactly the visual drama enthusiasts expect from early-1970s Pontiac muscle. It has the look, the stance, and most importantly, the 400ci V8 under the hood to back it up.
The 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is one of the most recognizable performance cars of the fourth-generation F-body era, combining aggressive styling with LS1 V8 power and the added hardware of Pontiac’s WS6 Performance Package. This example shows approximately 28,881 miles and is finished in Bright Red over a Taupe interior. It also features removable T-top roof panels, 17-inch aluminum wheels, a limited-slip differential, dual exhaust, and the signature rear spoiler. With low mileage for its age and the sought-after WS6 package, this Trans Am captures the raw, unmistakably American performance character that made these cars so memorable.
This 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula takes the familiar third-generation F-body formula and adds a substantial list of performance-oriented upgrades beneath the surface. Showing approximately 178,966 miles, the current owner reports approximately 1,000 miles on the current engine build. Power comes from a 5.7L naturally aspirated small-block V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The build is highlighted by Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket intake manifold and exhaust headers, upgraded fuel delivery, and a Mishimoto cooling system. Removable T-top roof panels add another layer of classic Firebird appeal, making this an enthusiast-focused example with unmistakable early-'90s styling and a substantially reworked V8 powertrain.

The 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible captures Pontiac at the dawn of its Wide-Track era, when the division was moving toward the bold styling and performance identity that would define the 1960s. Showing just 3,138 miles, this Catalina combines its sweeping open-top bodywork with a 389ci V8, 2-barrel carburetor, and 4-speed Super Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and a power-operated convertible top add desirable cruising amenities to a car already defined by unmistakable late-1950s presence.
