Muscle Cars That Should Have Never Been Cancelled

1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

One of the most iconic muscle cars of the late 1970s, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am played a starring role in the classic “Smokey and the Bandit” movie, which catapulted both the Firebird and Burt Reynolds to Hollywood fame. The massive Firebird decal often found on the hood of the Trans Am made it hard to miss. The 1978 Firebird Trans Am also offered excellent acceleration, capable of hitting 60 in just over 6 seconds. And the often-equipped t-tops meant you could enjoy an open air experience as well. Unfortunately, Pontiac is no more so we may never see a new Firebird again.
