Pontiac, an American automobile manufacturer with a storied history, has produced some of the most coveted cars in the industry. Originally established as the Oakland Motor Car Company in 1907, it was acquired by General Motors in 1909. The Oakland Pontiac series of cars emerged from this acquisition. By the 1920s, Pontiac had gained significant popularity, surpassing its parent company. Recognizing its success, General Motors discontinued the Oakland Motor Car Company and established Pontiac as a standalone division in 1926. One of Pontiac's iconic models is the Firebird, which was produced from 1967 to 2002 across four generations. The Firebird Trans Am variant, renowned for its high-performance capabilities, holds a special place in automotive enthusiasts' hearts. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, with just 87,500 miles on the odometer, exemplifies the spirit of the Trans Am lineage.
The 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am underwent notable design changes, particularly at the front end. It now boasts distinct quad rectangular headlights recessed into alcoves, giving it a unique and recognizable appearance. This particular 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am also features the highly sought-after Shaker Hood, accompanied by the iconic Firebird decal in black, red, and grey. The front grille is split-type and finished in black, complemented by a front spoiler for added aerodynamics. Ventilation vents are present on the sides to assist with cooling, and Trans Am decals adorn the front fenders. At the rear, you'll find the signature Firebird swooping back design, along with a duck lip style rear spoiler, car width taillights, and dual exhaust tips. Completing the exterior are the 15" Trans Am Snowflake wheels featuring the Firebird logo at the center. Inside, the cabin is appointed in black, showcasing front and rear black leather bucket seats for a sporty yet luxurious feel. The dashboard features a swirl bezel design with black-faced gauges and instrument panels, exuding a classic and nostalgic vibe. The focal point of the interior is the three-spoke steering wheel, finished in bare metal and adorned with the Firebird logo at the center, mirroring the design of the gear lever. Practical features such as the functional heater, factory AM/FM radio, and cruise control further enhance the driving experience.
This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is equipped with the 6.6L (403ci) Oldsmobile V8 engine with induction through a Rochester 4-Barrel carburetor, which provides a respectable 185 horsepower. Paired with the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sending drive to the rear wheels, this powertrain combination offers smooth acceleration and reliable performance. Whether cruising down the highway or unleashing its power on the open road, the Trans Am delivers a thrilling driving experience.
In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
It was a sad day for the world when Pontiac discontinued the Firebird in 2002, after the fourth generation had run its course. Of course, it was even sadder when the Pontiac brand as whole was shelved in 2010. One of America’s most iconic muscle and pony car makers, Pontiac gave us a whole bunch of greats, and the Firebird was arguably their shining star. But don’t despair, because we’ve got a fourth-generation, 59,000-mile 1995 Pontiac Firebird Formula for sale right now. The car is in great condition, and awaits its next owner.

The Pontiac Firebird is well-known for its roles in two of TV’s most popular series. The second generation starred in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation would become immortalized forever as Knight Rider’s KITT. You might not know it, but the Pontiac Banshee IV concept car that was used as the inspiration for the Knight 4000 in the Knight Rider 2000 movie was also the car that heavily influenced Pontiac’s fourth-generation Firebird. Don’t believe us? Check out this 1997 Pontiac Firebird Coupe up for sale right now, with under 5,000 miles on the clock. Pull up images of the Pontiac Banshee IV, the Knight 4000, and arrange them side-by-side on your screen.

One of the most influential cars of the '60s, the GTO was a slap in the face of corporate America. When General Motors banned their auto divisions from going racing, savvy people like Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean found a way round it. They realized that they could just offer race-ready street-legal machines to customers, who could then, ahem, do as they pleased with them. Enter the GTO, its name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO no less. What better way to enjoy the fruits of their labor than with this first-generation, fully restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that we’ve got for sale right here? Step right up folks, here’s your chance to own an American icon.

The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could duke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.
Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.

Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs having covered a reported 53,208 miles in its 36-year life. With the name having been around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.
