For half-a-million dollars, you could probably buy yourself a nice and cozy home for you and your family. But if you’re the type that’s after having a cool set of wheels instead of having a roof over your head, then this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Road Racer might just interest you.

Aside from having one stylish exterior, this ’70 Firebird carries with it a lot of history. First, it competed in the 1972 Daytona, Sebring, and Trans Am races. Second, it’s considered the first production car to use radial tires in an SCAA race and succeeded in winning the competition. Third, since the car and the team using it were based in Canada, the Firebird was allowed to carry a Chevy engine thanks to the fact that Canadian Pontiacs were allowed to carry Chevy engines.

Now if you’re keen on owning a piece of history, be ready to part with your hard-earned $550,000. We can’t say that buying this car will be a worthy investment. But we can say that you’ll end up being “The Man” once people see you driving in it.
