Vehicle Description
There was just something a bit meaner about the 1979 Pontiac
Firebird Trans Am. So you tend to take note when you find a
one-owner car that has a terrific color combo, the right
investments, its original V8, and those iconic T-tops.
There's something very cool about the factory-correct Nocturne Blue
with all the light blue accents. After all, that war bird on the
hood is as artful as it is intimidating. Plus, the widebody
appearance is pure aggression - the headlights are individually
separated; there are large flares for each fender; and the spoiler
covers from end-to-end across the rear. The designers really wanted
to get this T/A back to the wide track look! And everyone loves the
attitude that comes from the side scoops and the shaker hood. But
take some time to enjoy the details, too, like the dual exhaust
tips that exit below the rear marker lights on each side and the
cool "snowflake" wheels that have a standout gold finish.
Inside, this T/A has been given a terrific upgrade. The blue vinyl
was replaced with a gray/blue velour. This kind of comfortable
cloth is an especially nice on the days when T-tops are out and
you're enjoying the sunshine inside. Plus, power windows, an
AM/FM/cassette stereo, and an armrest center console continue this
comfortable feeling. You'll slip into the bucket seat, adjust the
tilt wheel to the cozy setting, and set off on any adventure in
comfort. With the full instrumentation looking great set in the
iconic and aggressive machine-turned instrument panel, every trip
can be a bold one.
The 4.9-liter V8 has an authentic appearance right down to the
factory shaker hood that is just sooooo cool. This is the original
power plant for the car, and the tidy appearance suggests plenty of
the right investments. Make sure you take a closer look, because it
gets even better. There are factory marking and decals throughout
the engine bay and undercarriage for a true time-capsule style
appearance. But more than just look cool when parked, this V8 T/A
fires up nicely and makes great muscle car sounds out of the
exhaust. The Trans Am has a reputation for not only being quick,
but also as one of the best all-around handling sports cars of its
day. This is from features like the front disc brakes and sway bars
front & rear. Plus, this one has long-haul comfort thanks to a
TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and power steering.
Quite interesting, nicely invested, and an all-around stunner, this
one-owner Trans Am is for those who like a different kind of bold.
