Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (2nd gen)

The second-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has pulled back sharply to a median of $44,000, down 25 percent over the past year on a sample of 13 sales tracked in the last twelve months. This directional move signals weakness, and the overall status registers as depreciating with a sell signal across the market.

Moderate liquidity characterizes the broader segment, with 49 total transactions recorded in our database. The thin recent sample—just 13 cars in twelve months—reflects a market that has cooled noticeably, making it harder for sellers to command premium pricing and requiring patience from both sides.

The Trans Am holds a collectible designation at a score of 5, anchored by its status as a stable modern classic with moderate desirability. These second-generation examples typically appear with modest mileage; the 21,240-mile average on transacted cars reflects the segment's skew toward weekend drivers and preserved examples rather than daily-use machines.

Price projections through 2029 and 2030 hold flat at the current median of $44,000 with zero percent movement expected on the base scenario. Without material shifts in collector demand or significant supply constraints, the market is likely to stabilize near current levels rather than recover lost ground in the near term.

The absence of active listings at current asking prices suggests there is no queue of inventory waiting to clear, which may limit further downside but also underscores that appetite for the model remains cautious. Owners holding these cars should expect a holding pattern rather than momentum, particularly if asking prices drift below recent transaction medians.
