Trans Am

Description

With its eye-catching graphics, sculped bodylines and low-slung stance, the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am has been a staple of American performance since its inception. This 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am fits all of the prior descriptors of what a Trans-Am should be, complete with a stunning color combination and a massive V8 engine sitting under the hood. Powered by a giant Oldsmobile 403 C.I. (6.6 Liter) V8 and breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '79 Trans-Am is seriously quick. It sounds like it, too. Torque is stomped into the pavement through the use of a 3-speed automatic transmission, which allows for smooth cruising as it shifts seamlessly. The exterior is bathed in a beautiful, correct "24"-code "Atlantis Blue" metallic paint, which really sparkles in the sun and covers this Trans-Am's laser-straight bodylines wonderfully. That blue paint really makes the navy blue & gold "Trans-Am" graphics stand out, and rest assured, this Trans-Am is sure to gather a crowd wherever it is parked. In addition, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all in great shape and all present well! Opening the twin doors reveals a highly-original, exquisite black cloth & vinyl interior, complete with comfy bench seats, a full center console, and an original AM/FM/Cassette stereo system! This '79 Trans-Am was built with plenty of options, including power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, factory gauges & working tachometer, "Dual-Sport" mirrors, a remote driver's mirror, a heater + defroster, an original AM/FM/Cassette stereo unit, a tilt steering wheel, a full center console, factory T-Tops, aftermarket rear speakers, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a stunning set of 15" Pontiac "Snowflake" patterned wheels over fat Cooper Cobra RWL tires for optimal grip. This '79 Trans-Am runs and drives down the freeway like a dream, and with those T-Tops, you can feel the open air at any time. There aren't too many Trans-Ams out there that look quite like this one, much less with the originality and correctness that this one has! It's ready to torch its tires at the turn of a key, and we'd love to see you drive it away.
