Pontiac Trans Am

The Trans Am was a performance version of the Pontiac Firebird. It was named for the Trans-American Sedan Championship, although it did not compete in Trans Am until the displacement limit was dropped in the late seventies. In the nineties Pontiac introduced a much more powerful Firehawk edition. The Trans Am was noted for its phoenix design on the hood. The Trans Am was also used in IMSA GTO. A Trans Am was used in the film Smokey and the Bandit.
