Without a shadow of a doubt, muscle cars changed the automobile landscape when they were first introduced. These were purely homemade two-door sports coupes with engines made to shred rubber. And the car that championed and argued that started the muscle car trend is the Pontiac GTO. First introduced in 1964, the Pontiac GTO was unlike any other vehicle in the market, and people just loved it. Pontiac went on to produce the car for four generations, while the GM subsidiary Holden made the fifth generation from 2004 to 2006. Up for grabs is a 2004 Pontiac GTO with a few tasty upgrades and just a little over 45,000 miles on the odometer.
When Ford debuted the Mustang in 1964 and created a whole new class of car known as the pony class, General Motors was on the case to create a competitor. They created two, in fact, the Camaro in 1966, and the Firebird in 1967. In 1969, Pontiac introduced a specialty package for the Firebird, called, you guessed it, the Trans Am. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary is a celebration of Ten Years of The Trans Am. With 94,000 miles, it’s been through a fair bit of restoration and refurbishment work to ensure it stays at its best. Will you be its next custodian?
With the attention that Chevy had gained with their flashy Bel Air, Pontiac believed that they could produce something better, and the way to go about it was with the introduction of the Star Chief. Much like its competitor, the Star Chief was an elegant high designed to be noticed. The second-generation model came in multiple trims, including the range-topping 'Catalina' as featured here. For those looking for a taste of Pontiac's finesse from the 50s, this Star Chief Catalina and its extensive list of impressive features are sure to be a divine purchase.
The Pontiac Grand Prix was one of those slightly different muscle cars of the genre. Over its 46 year production run the marque catered to many different segments of the automotive world. Starting off as a full sized offering, it passed through mid-sized and even at one point dabbling in the personal luxury car market. Amongst the different definitions of the Pontiac Grand Prix marque, arguably the most interesting one was the 2nd generation. With development being centered around having performance to match its muscle car looks, this 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix can be your way of throwing it back to the 70’s. Located in California this car has seen a few custom modification to make it stand out.
2010 saw the world lose yet another great American marque, Pontiac. They were founded in 1907 as the Oakland Motor Car Company, and subsequently in 1909 Oakland Motor Car Company was bought by GM and launched Pontiac in 1931. During the pony car decades, when Ford amazed the motoring world with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac entered the fray with their own offering in the form of the Pontiac Firebird. Produced until 2002 and with four generations under its belt, the Firebird captured the hearts of everyone especially those who were acclaimed to the “Knight Rider” series. Up for grabs is a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with a new 0-mileage powerhouse and some tasty performance upgrades.

80s television gave everyone a reason to be glued to their screens, but before the new and refreshed digital era, there was Smokey and the Bandit commanding everyone's attention.

Way before John Zachary DeLorean would go on to build futuristic cars that doubled as time machines, he was cutting his teeth with General Motors. One of his most notable creations is the Pontiac GTO, which he named after the Ferrari 250 GTO, and created with Bill Collins and Russ Gee. An innovative way to get around GM’s top management banning divisions from participating in motor racing, the GTO was meant to create accessible street performance that customers could, then, take racing themselves. Spanning four generations, the GTO’s fifth generation was admittedly less than stellar, involving a re-badged Holden Monaro. That makes earlier cars, such as this first-generation 1964 Pontiac GTO all the more desirable, and with just 60,357 miles on the clock, plus a host of refreshments and modifications reported by the seller, a car not to be missed. Don’t let this one slip through your fingers if you’ve always lusted after a GTO.

Pontiac’s Chieftain line-up was the automaker’s full-size offering from 1949 to 1958 across three generations, and were their first post-war designs. These full-sized cars were offered in a dizzying array of body styles, including two and four door sedans, two door coupes, two door hardtops, convertibles and station wagons. There was a Catalina for everyone. Powered by stout V8 engines making moderate but reliable power, this was dependable American motoring at its best. However, this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe is a bit of a deviation from the norm as it’s got some tasteful upgrades and enhancements. With 78,000 miles, it’s got a lot of life left in it too.
The third generation Firebird will always be remembered as the car that was used as the base of KITT in Glen A Larson’s hit TV series Knight Rider. Sadly, the show ended after the fourth season in 1986, so why not celebrate its memory with this 1986 Pontiac Firebird WS6? True, it’s not in the same color as KITT, but that’s alright because it’s a WS6 edition with just 18,000 miles since new. Third generation Firebirds in such clean and stock form are becoming increasingly rare to find, as they tend to be the subject of various conversions, making this car highly collectible for a discerning enthusiast to own, covet, and of course, drive.

Pontiac’s ticket into the pony car class, the Firebird debuted in 1967, with a long production run across four generations that sadly ended in 2002. Each generation of Firebird had something special, and the third generation’s claim to fame is screen prominence as KITT on the series Knight Rider. The third generation thus enjoys a strong following, and had a ten-year production run between 1982 and 1992. This 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is a veritable time capsule to that era, and quite a rare bird as this enthusiast-owner car has done just 17,100 original miles as reported by the seller.
The Pontiac GTO is considered by many to be the “original” muscle car, with big power from its V8 engine in a stylish midsized body. The 1967 model year, as featured here, was the last year of production for the first-generation GTO, and as such benefited from multiple updates along the way. The example featured here is finished in Signet Gold and comes with the desirable 400ci V8 with a four-speed manual combination. Located in Virginia, this GTO has 87,371 miles, while the seller reports that this vehicle left the factory floor as a four-speed. The car on sale today will be supplied with one set of keys, which includes one for the ignition and one for the trunk.
Arguably the most popular car from Pontiac is the Firebird, along with the GTO and the Trans-Am. The Pontiac Firebird was built from 1967 to 2002 under four distinct generations. The first-generation Pontiac Firebird had the coke bottle styling like the Chevrolet Camaro. The Firebird was characteristic of its high power and sporty looks. The movie series Smokey and the Bandit along with the hit TV series Knight Rider forever made the Firebird a pop culture icon. A 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am is up for sale with just 55,000 miles on the clock and available to be seen in the Sunshine State, Florida.
Pontiac’s GTO is widely credited as the car that really kicked off the muscle car craze. Created by the legendary John Z. DeLorean, the name was inspired by Ferrari’s 250 GTO, and the GTO was meant to offer accessible street performance to anyone who desired it. The GTO was voted Motor Trend’s Car Of The Year in 1968. Want a slice of the action? Why not check out this 1969 Pontiac GTO Coupe? It’s been owned for 49 years by the seller, who’s had it since he was sixteen!

In 1967, Pontiac introduced the Firebird model as a contender in the muscle car and pony car segments, in answer to Ford’s Mustang and Chevrolet’s Camaro. Running until 2002 over four generations, the Firebird was a much-loved car from GM’s lineup and would see quite a bit of screen time too. Second-generation Firebirds were synonymous with Burt Reynolds in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ as well as ‘The Rockford Files, whilst the third generation would become a much-loved hero in the shape of KITT from Knight Rider. If a Firebird is your catch, why not hook this 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 Manual from Arizona that’s an enthusiast-owned, PHS-documented example that’s gone through plenty of refurbishment and restoration, and comes with receipts and documentation too. The seller reports that the car is a ‘tire fryer’ after all the work!
With the release and major success of the Ford Mustang, each manufacturer scrambled to match up and surpass this icon. Pontiac’s answer to the Pony Car category was the release of the Firebird back in 1967. The Pontiac Firebird would go on to have a production run of 35 years and just like the Mustang has a lot of screen time as well. For instance, the second generation Firebird was the car Jim Rockford drove in the popular TV series, The Rockford Files. Finding a clean example of one is becoming increasingly difficult due to them becoming collectible and being modified. This 1974 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe is a rare example of a car that hasn't been fiddled with but kept original. Located in California and with a reported 37,000 miles on the clock this is a chance to snatch an original Firebird and one savvy investment in the years to come.
It’s the Sixties and Ford’s Mustang is dominating the class it created, namely the Pony Car, and Chevrolet’s Camaro is steadily competing with it as well. Pontiac knew that they had to act, and released their Pony Car contender in 1967. Named the Firebird, it featured the coke-bottle styling similar to the Camaro, and also gave rise to an options package called the ‘Trans Am Performance and Appearance Package’ which on its own became a moniker to describe a Firebird. Whilst the first generation ran for three model years, the second generation held sway for eleven! The second generation is renowned as the one which Burt Reynolds drove on screen in ‘Smokey and the Bandit’. If you’re looking for a slice of Pontiac history, which is all the more special since the brand no longer exists, this 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a great option to consider. This Texas car comes with just 64,000 miles on the clock.
Widely celebrated as the very car that put American Muscle in the spotlight, the first generation that was manufactured by Pontiac from 1963 to 1974. With Pontiac's selling point revolving mostly around performance-based vehicles, head company General Motors' decision to ban all of their divisions from being involved in auto-racing meant that Pontiac was deprived of gaining any motorsport heritage, so the American automaker decided that the next best thing was to focus on street performance. At first, Pontiac just dabbled in the idea by turning their Pontiac Tempest into a sporty version of itself, but by 1966, the GTO brand name (inspired after the Ferrari 250 GTO) was ready to make its official debut. This 1967 example is currently available for purchase in Florida with 93,400 miles done.

Pontiac’s Firebird is arguably the brand’s most famous model. Produced over four generations between 1967 and 2002, the Firebird has gained cult classic status. Sometimes known as a Trans Am, the Trans Am package was in fact a specialty package for the Firebird. The third generation ran between 1982 and 1992 and is most famous as being the basis for the hero car of Knight Rider - KITT, as well as his evil arch-nemesis KARR. If you’d like to own a Firebird from this hallowed generation, here’s a nice 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from Florida with 28,232 that’s reportedly owned and maintained by a mechanic with 30 years of experience.
Without a doubt Pontiac has had much to contribute to the automotive industry, to be specific to the North American automotive scene. Founded in 1926 as a division of General Motors, Pontiac went on to produce some of the most recognizable and endearing vehicles until its demise in 2010, almost 100 years after its establishment. A well-known Pontiac is the Grand Prix, which was produced from 1962 to 2008., under eight generations. The fifth generation produced from 1977 to 1987 is considered a great classical muscle car. Up for grabs is a 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with just 98,000 miles on the clock and reportedly owned by the same owner for the past 41 years.
In all likelihood, you have probably heard of KITT from the "Knight Rider" series even if you aren’t a major petrolhead. This lovable character was based on a third-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, which provided the automaker with continuity of the powerful marketing edge that 1977’s ‘Smokey and the Bandit’ kicked off with the second-generation example it featured as the hero car. Sadly, no more in existence, Pontiac's most renowned nameplate was arguably the Pontiac Firebird that was built from 1967 to 2002 This stunning example is a 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 from the fourth and final generation of Firebird. It’s got a decent gamut of factory options, and comes from Indiana with 17,488 original miles on the odometer.
Pontiac’s GTO marque dates back to 1963. As a matter of fact, Pontiac is known to be one of the first advocates of muscle cars. The GTO marque was discontinued in 1974, and wasn’t restarted until 2003 with the fifth generation GTO which was actually a re-badged Holden Monaro, nevertheless it came with the proper V8 engine of either 5.7L (347ci) or 6.0L (366ci). Our subject vehicle is a 2005 Pontiac GTO ProCharger, with only 32,275 miles on the clock and available in Connecticut. It’s got quite a few tasty upgrades under the hood, making it quite a beast.
The seventies sure were a wild time with rock and roll playing on the stereo and disco slowly making its appearance. But what was more astounding during this time was the number of automotive greats which were churned out by the myriad of manufacturers. Standing out during this time was sure a daunting task but Pontiac took up the challenge with gusto and released the second generation of their Firebird model. The second generation enjoyed a 11-year production run and by far the longest production run with the Pontiac Firebird marque. The second-generation Firebird’s looks won the hearts of many executives at Hollywood. The most popular second-generation Firebird is the one from Smokey and the Bandit, but this car also played a part in Hollywood itself with the legendary Jim Rockford driving one during the filming of The Rockford Files. With such a rich history backed by muscle car looks, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird makes for a car that is becoming more desirable and appreciating in value. Good thing that we have this gorgeous 1975 Pontiac Firebird Coupe in inventory, coming from sunny California with just 83,000 miles on the clock.

Its 1977, and you’re at Radio City Music Hall in NYC, at the premier of a road action-comedy film, ‘Smokey and the Bandit’. The spotlight is stolen by the film’s star car, a gold-and-black Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Featuring this distinctive T-top in a highly successful movie was a win-win situation. Its appearance in the movie propelled Trans Am sales beyond 93,000 units by 1978. Needless to say, the car and the film mutually benefitted from a viewership of millions. Our subject vehicle is a 1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo SE, a model used in the sequel of ‘Smokey and the Bandit’. This Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo SE has just 39,500 original miles on the clock and reportedly has always been garaged. 1981 was the last year of the ‘Bandit’ era Trans Am, before the next generation came out in 1982, and was featured as the hero car in ‘Knight Rider’ – but that’s a story for another day.
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.
For years, the Pontiac Le Mans has been overlooked, living in the shadow of its more powerful variant, the venerable GTO. Originally a trim upgrade based on the Pontiac Tempest, the LeMans later became a separate model. With the same nostalgic styling as the GTO, the Le Mans is a worthy collector’s car in its own right. Debuting in 1961, the Pontiac LeMans lasted for five generations until 1981. This remarkably original example of the 1965 Pontiac LeMans Coupe belongs to the second generation of the model. Located in Wisconsin, this numbers-matching car only has 70000 miles on its odometer. This is an exceptional chance for the avid classic enthusiast as the owner had tried to keep it as original as possible.
The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is an iconic American cult classic and was initially introduced in 1967 to rival the popular Ford Mustang. The Trans Am name was one of Pontiac's longest production runs spanning over 30 years. In its 30+ production year run, the Pontiac Trans Am had four generations, with the 2nd generation having the longest production run of 11 years. Over those 11-years, the Trans Am underwent many changes, with a plethora of engine choices to choose from. The 2nd generation also had a significant refreshment in terms of styling. Replacing the "coke bottle" design from the first generation, the second generation had a more futuristic and "swoopy" design which is still iconic to this day. The Pontiac Trans Am we have on sale today is the 1979 model with 106,000 miles having been run. This model year marked the 10th production year of the Trans Am name and also became the period in which Pontiac sold the most Trans Ams. The Pontiac Trans Am also played a big part in Hollywood, and was the star car in the hit show Smokey And The Bandit.
In the early '60s, Pontiac's marketing team decided to answer GM's self-imposed ban on racing by emphasizing heavily on street performance. At the time, Pontiac's Chief marketing manager revealed that the GTO involved transforming your average Pontiac Tempest into a sports car with a lot more power to appeal to clients with a need for speed. The first-generation GTO is credited for putting muscle cars on the map, and in 1968, the GTO was selected as the Motor Trend Car Of The Year for 1968. This 1965 GTO coupe resides in Texas and is up for sale with less than 2000 miles on its recently redone motor.
The Pontiac Firebird was built and produced by American automobile manufacturer Pontiac through 1967 to 2002. Proudly belonging to the first generation Firebird, the 1969 Firebirds’ F-body design was inspired by its relative, the Chevrolet Camaro, and provided a different take on the successful platform. Our subject 1969 Pontiac Firebird appears to be in excellent condition, showing no rust or other body blemishes. This classic pony car is carefully upgraded to improve performance figures while maintaining its stock appearance. According to the build sheet this Firebird is period correct, numbers matching and it comes with the original owner’s manual. With less than 500 miles on rebuild, this 60s classic is located in Montana and has been always garaged - as an added bonus.
When initially released, the 1st generation Pontiac Firebird faced a fair amount of controversy. It was built with a sense of urgency to compete with the Ford Mustang and was left with similar characteristics to its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. Pontiac was determined to set themselves apart and began working on an authentic 2nd generation right away. The new body was heavily influenced by Italian sports car designs thanks to GM styling chief Bill Mitchell's infatuation. The result was an aggressive, stylish, and distinctive pony car that stood out from the rest. The featured 1971 Pontiac Trans Am 455 is a rare beast, one of just 2116 produced, and claims to be almost all original.
1967 was the final production year for the first-generation Pontiac GTO. A car that arguably created the muscle genre, it remains one of the most respected, sought-after and well-known Pontiacs to date. The 1967 Pontiac GTO saw a new four-barrel carburetor and a bump in engine capacity, from 389ci (6.4 liter) to 400ci (6.6 liter). It also saw minor styling tweaks such as new taillight and grille designs. Our subject car has been lovingly recommissioned, with minor restoration efforts performed to get it into the condition you see here. Both its interior and exterior appear to be in an immaculate state, making it a compelling buy for anyone after a first-generation GTO with the desirable 400 motor.
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.
With its period-correct 1980s aesthetic, this extensively restored 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am T-Top features a superbly restored exterior, a fully restored interior, and an upgraded driveline. According to the VIN, the original powerplant was a 4.9-liter 301 V8 which has since replaced by a rebuilt 6.6-liter 400 V8 and the appropriate 6.6 identification elements on the shaker hood scoop. With total production numbers for 301 T-top cars totaling 4,831 in 1979, this Trans Am is truly a rare bird. It is now being offered on consignment with a clean title and a clean Carfax.
