63 listings

Second Generation Pontiac Firebird for sale.

The longest-running Firebird and a muscle-then-malaise icon. Early 1970-74 cars offered the 400 and 455, including the legendary 1973-74 Super Duty 455 (SD-455). The black-and-gold Trans Am of the later seventies, made famous by Smokey and the Bandit, drives strong demand for 1977-1981 cars.
