For Sale: 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in Bonner Springs, Kansas

Vehicle Description

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM

Beautiful Nocturne Blue, completely stripped and repainted by previous owner with base coat/ clear coat and new decals. Mostly new interior, carpet, seat covers, head liner. 403 Olds completely rebuilt summer of 2022 with 350 turbo transmission. I was told when I purchased vehicle that it was once part of the Rick Hendrick Collection, but I have no documetation to prove this. It did come from North Carolina, however. Paint does have a few small chips down low but still looks fantastic standing next to it. Trunk, floors, frame, and body are solid. All exterior lights and signals work however signals in dash do not flash, perhaps just burnt-out bulbs, I'm not removing dash to figure it out. Heater and A/C nonfunctional but repairable.

Engine rebuilt and installed by my mechanic and all machine work performed by QCKC. Bored .030 over and no overheating issues with new large Cold Case aluminum radiator. Edelbrock Performer intake and cam kit, Edelbrock timing set. New Street Max exhaust, nice low rumble, not obnoxiously loud. These cars had 185 hp out of the factory, may be producing 220 or so now, have not done a dyno test, runs good. Factory posi-trac rear end is either a 3.08 or 3.23.

New at time of rebuild: Stabilizer bar end links and bushings, front brake calipers, pads, all new flexible brake lines, inner and outer front wheel bearings and races, inner and outer tie rod ends and adjusting sleeve, power steering pump and close ratio gear box, belts, hoses, battery and cables, upper and lower ball joints, brake booster and master cylinder, Powermaster starter, plug wires and distributor, fan clutch, Flowtech ceramic coated long tube headers, Quadrajet caruretor from Carb Specialists in Georgia, rear axel cover gasket and pinion seal, and front end alignment. I put new shocks all around prior to all of this. Handles well, gets down the highway great for a car of this era. Gets lots of attention everywhere. I try to drive her once a week weather permitting, does not just sit. Garage kept. Don't know if mileage is actual but odometer works. 913-707-7121. Have recently added new Kenwood stereo and speakers to replace the old Clarion unit. Sounds great. I have all receipts for everything done . Currently 2010 miles on new engine. Price is firm, shipping is up to you.
