A true survivor of a car with only 89k believed-to-be original miles, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am 10th Anniversary is in great mechanical condition. This Trans-Am is a rare bird, one of only a couple thousand 10th-Anniversary Trans-Ams ever built. Powered by a numbers-matching Oldsmobile 403 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '79 Trans-Am makes for one fantastic cruiser. Behind the 403 sits a reliable TH350 3-speed automatic transmission, allowing for seamless shifting and a smooth ride. The exterior original tri-color silver, red, and black paint is in rougher shape, but it is laid out over this Trans-Am's straight bodylines nicely. In addition, the floors, frame, trunk, and jambs are all rock-solid and in fantastic shape! Opening the twin doors reveals a completely original interior, not without its wear but with all the factory options still present! It's got comfy gray vinyl bucket seats in addition to a full center console, and a working factory AM/FM/8-Track radio lets you crank up the tunes as you drive! This time capsule of a Pontiac is equipped with power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks, a "Shaker" hood intake, factory A/C, the factory gauges, tachometer, and clock, a tilt steering wheel, cruise control, T-Tops, an original working AM/FM/8-Track stereo system, and a sweet sounding single-into-dual exhaust system. The car rides on its original 15" "Salad-Shooter" wheels over Goodyear Eagle RWL tires for a sleek, period-correct look! This time capsule Trans-Am runs and drives like a champ, and it's a perfect candidate to restore to show-quality or to enjoy as is! With its combination of good looks, originality, and collectability, this '79 Trans-Am isn't going to be on the showroom floor for long, so don't let it pass you by! We'd love to see it in your garage.
