An iconic 1970s American Pontiac Firebird pony car was recently pulled from a junkyard and listed for sale at a bargain price, however, the muscle car is hiding a surprise inside.
A Pontiac Firebird Trans Am muscle car was listed on Craigslist, located in Huntington Mills, Pennsylvania, and was still available at the time of writing.
The listing sadly provides few details on the car, but we do have an interesting selection of photographs to look at.
Opening up the Pontiac, however, reveals a surprise that not many people would like to see.

The Pontiac’s listing is slightly confusing, as it states the muscle car could be from one of several regions.
The seller has it listed as either a Firebird from 1970, 1971, 1972, or 1973.
So there are a few choices for what possible model the sports car is exactly!
Outwardly, though, the muscle car does look quite complete.
So its asking price of just $1,200 might tempt a lot of people.
We get a small glance under the hood, and there is still an engine in this car.
It also isn’t missing any major body panels, which is a big win for anyone wanting to restore it.
There is a certain level of urgency to acquiring the car, though, as the junkyard it’s in is set to close.
What might put some people off, however, is the state that the interior of the pony car is in.
Inside, it’s a mess, with interior trim missing and parts scattered around.
One of the seats is missing, while the dashboard leather is in a rotten state.
Also, the trunk is currently sealed shut, so it’s impossible to look inside it right now.
Like other wrecked Pontiacs, it’s unclear what engine it has.
However, you would expect it to be correct for the specific model year.
All of which certainly explains that $1,200 price tag, which may well seem tempting at first.
However, the likelihood is that you’d have to spend a whole lot more on restoring the Pontiac.
If you like setting yourself a challenge, though, maybe this is the car for you!
