Throughout America's automobile history, many car models were introduced and were just one-hit wonders. During the late 1960s, Pontiac, by then part of General Motors, wanted to compete with Ford's latest Pony car, the Ford Mustang. In came the Pontiac Firebird, with its Coke Bottle styling, slit taillights, and quad headlights, which were snatched up by the public in droves. Pontiac went on to produce the Firebird until 2002 with four generations of the iconic car under its belt. The third generation Firebird was produced from 1981 to 1992 and featured a radically new design from its outgoing generation. It, of course, was tremendously helped by the 80's hit TV show, Knight Rider. Up for the taking is a 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA, of which only 9,765 were built in the US of A and ready for the next owner to relive the good ol' muscle car days.
Black is a timeless and classic choice for a car and a color that fits perfectly for this 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA. If the car looks familiar, then YES, that is exactly what it is; it was the same generation Firebird that KITT was based on, albeit with a few modifications. The front is host to pop-up headlights flanking the gold Firebird shield, while lower can be seen the front splitter with embedded fog lights. The hood cuts around the headlight housings and features functional hood vents. More GTA Trans Am and Firebirds badges and logos can be seen on the sides. The rear wing starts from the sides and adds a sort of additional layer to the design when viewed from the side. The taillights are egg crate designs that were very cool during this time. It sits on a set of GTA-only gold cross-lace alloy wheels. The Gran Turismo Americano or GTA of this Firebird denotes its luxury and performance pedigree. Standard is the black leather interior with perforated inserts and multi-way seats. Taking from the KITT design, this Firebird features 80s-minded high-tech design from the layout of the buttons to the grid design all over the center console and dash. The steering uses a very early form of multifunction controls for the premium Performance Sound. Other features include removable T-tops, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and a tilt steering wheel.
The Firebird's reputation for performance is continued with this 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA. It houses the 5.0L V8 powerplant coupled with a glorious 5-speed Borg Warner T5 manual transmission. All of 170hp of power is pushed to the rear wheels. The GTA uses a WS6 performance suspension package, and four corner disc brakes for optimum stopping power.

We often speak of the golden age of muscle cars here, and when it comes to Pontiac’s contribution, it would be hard to recount history without mentioning the iconic 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge. The Judge was an aggressively styled and often brightly-colored package that could only be added to the GTO for the 1969 model year. As for the package’s name, well, it’s a pop culture reference to “Here comes Da Judge,” a recurring catchphrase on the 1960s TV show Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In. Our featured car is an orange 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge with a 400ci V8 engine under the hood. And, if you’ve been looking for a GTO Judge, this could be one of your best options. Not only has it undergone a complete restoration, this particular example is reported to be offered for sale by the original owner’s family, with the father having purchased the car new.
Undoubtedly, the '60s was the era for muscle cars, but the decades that followed may have garnered a reputation for toning that approach down just a tad. However, this changed in the 2000s with the release of the first-generation tribute Mustang and the rebirth of the Chevrolet Camaro that is now popular from the Transformer franchise. But there was another new-age muscle car that deserves a look, too: this iconic 2006 Pontiac GTO we have today. With a reported 66,000 miles on the clock, this American powerhouse is built to take your weekend drives up a notch and be the talking point at your local car show.
The Pontiac GTO stands as an icon from the muscle car era, representing the collective effort of every major American car maker. Arguably one of the most coveted offerings of its time, the GTO made its debut in 1963 for the 1964 model year, envisioned as a high-performance vehicle aimed at capturing a younger audience. Originally conceived as a sports-oriented variant of the Pontiac Tempest, it quickly evolved into a standalone model. Undergoing a redesign, the 1966 Pontiac GTO embraced a more refined appearance, boasting a coke-bottle design and an impressive hood scoop. Our featured car boasts a frame-off restoration, including a rebuilt engine and transmission, ensuring future longevity with a powder-coated frame and new suspension all around. Nestled under the hood is a potent 389ci V8 engine paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, offering enthusiasts the quintessential American muscle car experience with a mild 195 miles complete since the restoration.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
