The Appeal

For decades, the Pontiac Firebird has been a byword for pure American muscle. It's easy to see why - great big V8s, increasingly slick bodywork - it's a universal language, and to this day, examples from every era hold their own, and are a relatively scarce sight on this side of the pond.

This 1993 example has led a well-travelled life, originating in the US before spending time in Japan and arriving in the UK in 2008. Having been garaged and used purely for leisure during its time in Britain, it has covered only around 10,000 miles in the last 18 years. Sitting on rare Boyd Coddington wheels, this Trans-Am is an evocative, immersive piece of pure '90s nostalgia - and, according to the vendor, is ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
