Pontiac Firebird 2nd Gen listings614 for sale now
The second-generation Pontiac Firebird, built from 1970 to 1981, outlived the initial muscle car era and became a cultural icon. Sharing its F-body platform with the Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebird maintained a distinct identity with Pontiac-specific engines and dramatic styling. Early models offered big-cube V8s like the 400 and 455, while later versions are best known for the Trans Am's massive hood decal and its starring role in the 1977 film *Smokey and the Bandit*.
Collectors prize the early 1970-1973 cars, especially the rare and powerful Super Duty 455 models which command top dollar. The late-70s Special Edition Trans Ams, particularly the black-and-gold cars, are also highly sought after for their iconic movie connection. Originality, documentation, and specific option packages like the WS6 performance suspension significantly influence value across the entire generation.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust in common F-body areas like the rear frame rails, trunk floor, floor pans, lower fenders, and around the front and rear windows.
- T-Top models are notorious for leaking, so inspect the seals, headliner, and floors for signs of water damage.
- For high-value models like the Trans Am, verify the engine and transmission numbers to confirm they are original to the car, as many have been swapped over the years.
- Interior plastics, especially the dashboard, are prone to cracking and becoming brittle with sun exposure. A complete, undamaged interior is a major plus.
- Inspect the front subframe and its mounting points to the unibody for cracks and corrosion, as this is a critical structural area.
