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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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 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.
