1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Description

This fiery red 1979 Trans Am has T-tops, a distinctive hood bird, and plenty of attitude to spare. It's time to fulfill a promise you made yourself years ago, and you don't even have to break the bank to do it.

You'll be glad you took the time to check out this T/A, because it's exactly what you're looking for. The paint that is grabbing all your attention is a modern and professional respray, so you get a terrific clearcoat shine every time you take this coupe out for a cruise. The 1979 model year began what was arguably the most aggressive design of the second-generation Trans Am. At the front, a full Endura front end adds more real estate for the aggressive red finish. Plus, it's a nice addition to the full factory body kit that has flared wheel arches, fender vents, and a full width spoiler. As with any Trans Am of this era, the most impressive part of the design is the hood. Not only does it have the shaker-style power bulge, but the color scheme on this example truly lives up to the Firebird name.

Inside is a selection of all the right features, starting with the black cloth seats. This is one of the few T-top classics that you don't have to worry about showing off all morning and then hopping in with your shorts on. Once seated, you'll be face to face with iconic components like the Trans Am's special three-spoke steering wheel, machined aluminum dash, and optional Rally gauge package. You'll also be treated to a full set of original luxury features like power windows, power locks, cruise control, and provisions for factory air conditioning. Plus, the stereo is an upgraded AM/FM/cassette unit. Feel free to store the T-tops in their original protective cases, crank up the tunes, and go cruising all Sunday.

The 6.6-liter 403 V8 appears to have been treated to good regular maintenance. Within the last 800 miles, there has been an investment in valve cover gaskets, the power steering pump, starter, fuel sending unit, rear diff bearings, axle bearings, and control arm bushings. The Trans Am has a reputation for not only being quick, but also handling the corners like a movie star. It was specifically chosen to be Bandit's "Trigger" because it was one of the best all-around sports cars of its day. Features like the front disc brakes, TH350 three-speed automatic, and BF Goodrich T/As on classic "Snowflake" alloys make this a great anytime driver.

Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this Trans Am has it all: stunning good looks and performance to back it up. You know it can move quickly, and at this price it certainly will, so don't delay. Call today!!
