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 legendary color combination, a massive V8 engine sitting under the hood, and a 4-speed stick-shift to back it all up. Powered by original #'s matching 400 C.I. (6.6 Liter) V8 and breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, this '79 Trans-Am is seriously quick. And, with the car's aluminum heads and "Shaker" intake, it sounds like it, too. Torque is stomped into the pavement through a quick-shifting 4-speed manual transmission, good for optimal tire-melting performance as well as plenty of smiles behind the wheel. The exterior is bathed in a gorgeous deep black paintjob, reflecting like a mirror in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine. It's complimented by the characteristic legendary gold pinstriping and accents, which run the length of this Firebird's laser-straight bodylines and making this Trans-Am look like it belongs in "Smokey and the Bandit II". Rest assured, this is one Trans-Am that's sure to draw a crowd anywhere it's driven. In addition, the floors, frame, trunk and jambs are all in great shape and all present well! Opening the twin doors reveals an absolutely gorgeous tan vinyl interior, complete with comfy patterned bucket seats, a full center console, and some golden dashboard trim that lets you know that your Trans-Am is the real deal. This '79 Smokey Trans-Am is loaded with options, including power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, T-Tops, aluminum heads, a "Shaker" hood intake, MSD ignition, the factory gauges & tachometer, power windows, power locks, "Dual-Sport" mirrors, additional aux. gauges, a tilt steering wheel, an aftermarket AM/FM digital stereo system, a heater + defroster, and a seriously-mean sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a stunning set of 15" golden "Snowflake" wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires for a factory-fresh appearance that's sure to have you doing double-takes as to if it's really Smokey behind the wheel! 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 performance prowess and legendary color scheme 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.
