The Pontiac Trans Am is one of the most recognizable names in American muscle, spanning six decades from the original 1969 homologation special to the LS1-powered final generation of the early 2000s. Right now, Motorious dealers across the country have an outstanding cross-section of Trans Ams on offer, from screaming-chicken Bandit tributes to rare factory Super Duty survivors. Here are ten of the coolest Trans Ams currently for sale.
No. 1 — 1969 Pontiac Trans Am
This 1969 Trans Am tribute wears the iconic white-and-blue livery that started it all, but underneath it hides plenty of modern upgrades. A 400 V8 backed by a Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic gets power down through a Ford 9-inch rear end, while Wilwood disc brakes, subframe connectors, and an MSD ignition bring old-school looks up to date. Offered by SuperSport Classics of Largo, Florida, with a blue bucket-seat interior and billet wheels, it's a stunning homage to Pontiac's original pony-car legend for $49,900.
