For Sale: 1999 Pontiac Firebird in St. Louis, Missouri

Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac introduced the Firebird in 1967 around the same time Mercury unleashed the cougar and Chevrolet unveiled the Camaro, which shared the same F-body platform. In 1969 Pontiac came out with the Trans Am model which is essentially the Firebird but with better performance options including a more powerful engine and more high-end interior options. The Firebird became Pontiacs sole performance car when the demise of the larger muscle cars like the GTO started in the 1970s. The Trans Am was sought-after from the start with limited production numbers of only a few thousand every year until the mid-1970s when the 2nd generation of the Firebird Trans Am really took off soaring.

The Firebird and its performance step up model the Trans Am saw success through the years and survived the country's gas crises and the new emissions reforms to continue producing some of the most iconic muscle cars to this day. The 4th generation continued the changes to the overall look with a focus on aerodynamic styling and were produced from 1993 until 2002. These new Firebirds featured a new hood and front fascia with dual intakes, retracting quad halogen headlights, and circular reverse lamps among many other changes including safety and design features.

Offered here is a 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 30th Anniversary edition convertible featured exclusively in Arctic White exterior with blue stripes, the same combination as when it first debuted in 1969.
