Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
Wearing a very ’70s gold paint job, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am’s design is nothing short of iconic. It’s easy to see why the car was chosen for Smokey and the Bandit, albeit in single headlamp form. This car sports dual headlamps, a design feature introduced in 1979. The car rides on a set of gold and silver alloy wheels with Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Meanwhile, the hood features a shaker hood scoop and the iconic Screaming Chicken motif that’s much sought after in Firebirds from this era. The scoop also tells us that there’s a 6.6-liter engine beneath. But we’re not done with exterior details. Moving towards the rear of the car, you’ll note that it’s got twin T-tops for a semi-convertible experience when desired. Then, the rear window features black plastic slats, which are a very Seventies feature that not only came on American cars but some European and Japanese machines, too. The interior of this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is in a color scheme of tan and brown and can accommodate four adults. We’re told that there’s functional air conditioning and an upgraded retro-style radio. You’ve also got a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a gauge cluster that’s widely called the “Rally Pack”.
Powering this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a naturally aspirated 403ci (6.6L) V8 with headers and hydraulic cams, powering the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. There’s also a new exhaust so that you can enjoy the V8’ rumble to the maximum.

Pontiac’s Firebird is one of the most iconic pony cars. Made across four generations between 1967 and 2002, the Firebird was the Camaro’s sister car. The similarities weren’t just visual; they were basically the same under the skin as well. The second-generation Firebird really made a name for itself through its screen presence on Smokey and the Bandit. The car used for the movie was a 1977 Firebird Trans Am, so if you’re a fan of the film, here’s a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale right now. This car comes with an upgraded engine and upgraded suspension as well. Just don’t try to jump it; many of the movie's stunt cars didn’t survive the 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.
