Vehicle Description
A full black T/A that was born this was is always desirable, but
you can instantly tell this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 has
something more going for it, too. With its unique exterior package,
comfy A/C interior, the original 400ci V8, the control of a
four-on-the-floor, and the sought-after WS6 package, this one puts
your muscle car fantasies into overdrive.
The second-generation Trans Am was a seriously intimidating
package. The wide ground effects in front of the wheel wells,
integrated rear spoiler, and shaker hood all gives this a real
presence on the streets. When the dent-resistant Endura front end
is as complete as this one, it's not only a dead giveaway to some
serious care, but also it gives the Firebird Trans Am an aggressive
beak that perfectly complements the famous hood bird. In fact, this
graphic truly looks like it's breathing fire with its distinctive
red appearance, which is also repeated on the fenders and rear. So
while we love the gold accent T/As out there, this offers a
different level of distinction. Plus, it also helps that the canvas
for all this red is the glossy factory-correct Starlight Black. And
like any good American classic there's room for brightwork. It's a
terrific standout on places like the quad exhaust tips and iconic
15-inch "snowflake" alloy wheels.
Inside is more of the right kind of distinction. For example, this
is a desirable factory-correct black, which makes it a full
midnight package car from day one. But while most of these came
with vinyl bucket seats, you'll notice this one is finished in a
comfortable cloth. And that will make all the difference on a hot
day. And speaking of staying cool, this T/A also has been upgraded
with a new R134a air conditioning system. Other great comfort
features include power windows, power locks, power steering, an
armrest center console, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo. But more
than just a coddler, this is a true driver's machine. You know that
the moment your right hand rests on the stick shift, and your left
one feels the grippy factory steering wheel. Beyond that is the
iconic machined aluminum inlay that covers the whole dash panel.
Inside there is a full gauge package, including Pontiac's cool
tach/clock combo.
Within the clean ending bay lives the original numbers-matching 400
cubic-inch V8. It has an exceptional honest presentation, right
down to the light blue block color you can see below the correct
snorkel intake. These cars were known for being ferocious. This
power inhales through four-barrel carburetor living under that hood
scoop, and it exhales with authority as an upgraded header package
adds power while contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust.
And you have full control over the V8 and its thunderous soundtrack
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. But what really makes
this T/A special is the WS6 handling package. It includes front &
rear sway bars, a tighter steering box ratio, and four-wheel disc
brakes. This option made the Trans Am the favorite of most
automotive magazines back in the day, and it will still impress on
the blacktop today.
Complete with the factory buildsheet, owner's manual, and
maintenance records, you're looking at a distinctive classic that
you'll love driving. So if you want to be the next midnight hero,
don't miss this deal. Call today!!!
