"Screaming Chicken"

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this very original 1979 Pontiac Trans Am for your consideration. The car is powered by its 6.6L V8 motor which is paired to an automatic transmission. The engine fires right up, idles smooth, and pulls the car down the road with a healthy roar. Like the motor, the transmission is mechanically sound.

Finished in Starlight Black with the appropriate charcoal Firebird decals, this Trans Am has a unique appearance that commands attention. Of course, this Trans Am has the famous screaming chicken on the hood along with the hood bulge. This example rides on 15-inch Cragar S/S wheels finished in the polished alloy. The black interior is in exceptional condition and has been left untouched with the exception of an aftermarket Kenwood radio. The metal trim surrounding the gauge cluster and on the center console is also in good shape and adds a bit of pop to the interior. Accompanying this example is the original window sticker and build sheet.

Introduced in 1970, the second generation Firebird was only available as a fastback coupe. Designed in tandem with the Chevrolet Camaro, the Firebird was a popular halo car for the Pontiac range. Government regulations started killing muscle cars in the 1970's left and right. However, Pontiac kept producing the Firebird Trans-Am with specs that were on the edge of legality, with perhaps some fudging of some horsepower numbers. Of course, Smokey and the Bandit made the late 70's models a highly desired and iconic piece of cultural automotive history that still holds mass appeal to this day.
