Pick of the Day: 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
last year, I wrote a story about two of Pontiac's most popular performance cars, the Firebird Trans Am and the G8. Both cars were designed to excite buyers, and even though the Pontiac division folded after 2010, the brand's enthusiasts remain enthusiastic about it. Today's Pick is a 2001 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Culpemont, Pennsylvania. (Click the link to see the list) "Car is all stock and in perfect condition," the listing begins. "Manual transmission, new PA condition inspection, brand new battery, runs and drives fine." Even standing still, this bright red Firebird Trans Am evokes a sense of speed. Like other Pontiacs of the era, it had plenty of aerodynamic flair, including the "Ram Air" induction system identified by the script logo on the hood. The rear is completed by sculpted wings, full-width smoked taillights, dual exhaust systems and WS6 badging. By the way, the WS6 package brings a…
AutoHunter Spotlight: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am
FeaturedAutomatic Hunteran online auction platform operated by ClassicCars.com, is this low-mileage 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. The Pontiac Trans Am was the dream car of American muscle car enthusiasts in the 1970s and 1980s, thanks in large part to its performance in the movie Cannonball Run. In an era of mediocre performance, it was one of the few cars that still waved the performance flag. It looked fast, and it actually went pretty fast. In addition to its straight-line performance, it also handled pretty well. The Trans Am featured in AutoHunter Spotlight has only traveled 45,000 miles since new and appears to be in excellent condition. It is powered by a 403ci V8 engine and is mated to a three-speed Turbo Hydra-matic 350 automatic transmission. Finished in Sun Gold with a white vinyl interior, this Trans Am is being offered by the selling dealer with vehicle papers, build sheet, and clear proof of ownership. The exterior of this Trans Am is…

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
FeaturedAutomatic Hunter, Up for auction on the online auction platform operated by ClassicCars.com is this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The Pontiac Firebird was hailed as "a surprise of a new breed" when it was introduced in 1979. "The Firebird made its debut on the road 12 years ago, making curves sharper and straights shorter. It was the brainchild of engineers and designers whose love of the road never faded," an ad said. 45 years later, this "Starlight Black" Firebird is still on the road and looking great. The car is being sold by a dealer in Atlanta, Georgia, and the auction ends on Monday. Sharing its F-type chassis with its Chevrolet Camaro sibling, the second-generation Firebird made its world debut in February 1970. Unlike the previous generation Firebird, it was sold exclusively as a coupe (no convertible) throughout the entire generation (production ended in 1981). It was redesigned for 1979; one of the new design features was a louvered…
Buick Driven: 1989 Pontiac Trans Am
Pontiac fans love Hate the Turbo Trans Am, which used a 210-hp 301ci V8 and turbocharger to replace the brilliant 220-hp 400 used the previous year. While the horsepower was nearly equal, the performance wasn't quite there. It would take a few more years for American cars to show the benefits of turbocharging. Pontiac dropped the turbocharged 301 after 1981, but a turbocharged Trans Am reappeared in 1989, and this car also competed in Indy. This special model gave Buick's turbocharged 231ci V6 a break after it was discontinued a year earlier. This 250-horsepower six-cylinder engine had 5 to 15 more horsepower than the 1986-87 Grand National, and it was probably almost identical except for the horsepower rating, but it had several different parts - such as the heads, intercooler, computer chip and pistons. The 1989 Turbo Trans Am is a car that almost nobody loves: Pontiac owners don't like cars with Buick engines, and Buick owners aren't interested in…
