The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a well-known car in film and TV. Later models appeared as the star-car for the cult 80s classic, Knight Rider. But, well before that, the Smokey and the Bandit franchise immortalized the second-generation Firebird Trans Am Special Edition. When a Starlight Black Trans Am Special Edition was used in the 1976 movie it became highly sought after for both fans and enthusiasts. And so—much like our subject car—black and gold Trans Am Special Editions soon coined the "Bandit Edition" nickname. With better performance, a more powerful engine, and more high-end interior options than the standard Firebird, the Trans Am is the Pontiac Firebird's big brother. The example you see here appears to be in remarkable condition, with just one owner, 9850 original miles, and the car's original build sheet included.
Possibly the most imposing feature of this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am Bandit Edition is its signature Starlight Black paint with special stripes and emblems in gold — not to mention the iconic Firebird hood decal. This Special Edition includes a hatch removable roof and gold cast-aluminum wheels which add to the car's stunning exterior. The leather interior is Camel Tan in color. The rest of the cabin includes factory air-conditioning, an AM/FM radio, power locks and windows, and rear window defroster. There are also special interior appointments in gold that give a timeless look to the dashboard as a limited-edition feature.
This "Bandit" Special Edition utilizes a 6.6L (403cid) L80 V8 engine. It delivers power to the wheels via an automatic transmission, while a limited-slip differential controls traction. The car for sale was also outfitted with a special handling package to facilitate taking this Trans Am to its limits. It also features power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes to keep the power in check.
The fourth generation Pontiac Firebird was released in 1993, but no-one realized that this would, sadly, be the last generation for this iconic pony car. Sporting futuristic styling inspired by the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car, the fourth-generation Trans Am promised great things and managed to deliver on most of those promises. In 1994, Pontiac released a 25th Anniversary special edition that came with features such as white leather seats, white wheels, and a white-painted body with a single blue stripe. Buyers could have this edition in any of the three available body styles. Now, we’ve got one of those cars in desirable T-top form up for sale in Irvington, Alabama. Say Howdy to this 1994 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 25th Anniversary that’s traveled just 21,269 miles in its life so far. The car looks to be in fantastic condition and is ideal for someone who will love it and cherish it, as well as drive it with gusto.
Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
Pontiac’s Firebird, widely known as one of the most iconic pony cars ever to grace the silver screen, breathed its last breath by the end of 2002. Yes, Pontiac officially axed the Firebird nameplate after more than three decades of performance heritage, and the brand itself would be shelved by General Motors several years later. Famous for its starring roles in Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider, the Firebird remains one of the most recognizable American muscle cars in history. If you’re a Firebird fan, take a close look at this fourth-generation 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SLP Firehawk, now offered for sale in Carlsbad, New Mexico. With just over 28,000 miles on the odometer, this example stands out not just for its mileage, but for what it represents — a rare, factory-authorized performance upgrade by SLP Engineering (Street Legal Performance).
Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
