Auction archive FAQ

How much auction history is there for Pontiac Trans Am?

22 completed Copart and IAAI auctions, with sale dates between Oct 24, 2024 and Sep 22, 2026.

What is the average final bid for Pontiac Trans Am at auction?

What damage do most Pontiac Trans Am auction lots carry?

minor dents & scratches leads, on 41% of the auctions — worth knowing before you read the low end of the sold-price range.

What should I pay for a salvage Pontiac Trans Am?

Work from the median final bid on this page, then adjust for the repair in front of you. A Pontiac Trans Am with light front-end damage and keys sits near the top of the sold-price range; a water loss without keys sits at the bottom.

Does the model year change what a Pontiac Trans Am sells for at auction?

Usually yes, and not evenly. Open the year links to see where the Pontiac Trans Am final-bid curve flattens — that flat stretch is where salvage buying tends to pay best.

Are these final bids what a repaired Pontiac Trans Am would sell for?

No. These are auction results for damaged or salvage Pontiac Trans Am vehicles — the price at the close of the sale, before transport, fees and repair. Retail value sits well above them.
