1979 Pontiac

Trans Am Special Edition

Description

Few American performance cars are as instantly recognizable as the black and gold Pontiac Trans Am. Finished in Starlight Black with gold Special Edition graphics, this 1979 Trans Am Y84 Special Edition captures the unmistakable styling that helped make the second-generation Firebird an icon of the late 1970s.

Showing 28,383 miles, this example features one of the most desirable factory combinations available: a Pontiac 6.6L (400ci) V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Adding to its appeal is the Y84 Special Edition appearance package, complete with the legendary Screaming Chicken hood decal, along with factory T-Tops and the sought-after WS6 Special Performance Package.

The black-and-gold Trans Am became permanently linked with Smokey and the Bandit, creating one of the most recognizable silhouettes in American automotive history. While the film featured a 1977 model year Trans Am, later Y84 Special Edition examples such as this 1979 continued the same styling that captured the attention of an entire generation of enthusiasts.

As the final year for the Pontiac-built 400ci V8, the 1979 Trans Am represents the closing chapter of Pontiac's traditional performance era. The exterior retains the iconic Starlight Black and gold presentation these cars are known for, while the finish does show various paint imperfections and cosmetic blemishes visible in the accompanying photos. This example provides an honest representation of a desirable, low-mileage Trans Am with a highly sought-after factory configuration.

Combining the legendary Y84 Special Edition appearance, Pontiac 400 power, four-speed manual transmission, WS6 performance package, T-Tops, and low mileage, this Trans Am represents one of the most desirable configurations of Pontiac's iconic second-generation Firebird.
