1979 Pontiac Trans Am

Why This Car Is Special

The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile built by Pontiac from the 1967 to the 2002 and was designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.

The bright yellow 1979 Pontiac Trans Am we have at Skyway Classics is a combination of beautiful styling, superb handling, and strong Pontiac V-8 performance that makes It highly coveted by collectors and performance traditionalists alike.

Mechanical

Under the hood is the correct 403 cubic-inch V8. The hoses and belts show that this has been maintained correctly, and the way it fires up readily reaffirms this care. The V8 inhales deeply with the four-barrel carburetor, and it makes a sweet sound out of the quad-tip dual exhaust.

It has power steering and brakes and air conditioning and the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission makes this Trans Am easy to shift.

Handling is superb with the four-wheel power disc brakes, sway bars front & rear, and BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on the iconic 5-spoke Pontiac factory mags.

Interior

Our 1979 TA has black sport buckets up front with a match back bench seat. It also has a center console, Formula steering wheel and an engine-turned instrument panel inlay with the standard Rally Gauge cluster, which included both a clock and tachometer, power windows, air conditioning, and more.

Exterior

The exterior or our TA is a rare shade of Sundance Yellow, with the legendary bird on the hood. This 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am for sale is a true representation of late 70s muscle cars!

The shaker hood shakes and moves when it idles and the sharp lines of the Firebird makes this a car with looks that back up the performance. Our 1979 model features factory redesigned nose and tail sections, both molded from a new, softer plastic material, front and rear spoilers, as well as the wheel opening spoilers.

The new nose piece sports quad headlamps recessed into individual tunnels, while the blacked-out split grilles were re-positioned below the lamps and turn signal/running lamps recessed into the grilles.

Conclusion
