1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The 1998 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am marked a turning point for GM's F-body platform, introducing a bold aesthetic refresh alongside a genuine leap in performance. Most notably, this model year saw the debut of the LS1 5.7-liter V8, borrowed from the Corvette, replacing the aging LT1. The result was 305 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque, giving the Trans Am blistering acceleration for its era—0 to 60 mph in roughly 5.2 seconds.
