Vehicle Description
There was just something a bit meaner about the restyled 1979
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. So when you can find one so highly
original, this sleek V8 T-top machine is instant attraction at a
value price.
There's something very distinctive about the factory-correct Solar
Gold. It created one of the coolest coordinating packages around
when combined with the darker gold hood bird and golden snowflake
alloy wheels. So it was sort of like a custom car straight from the
factory. This one amps up the appeal because it's a one-owner
machine, and the paint and all the trimmings are original! In fact,
the finish shows some of its age, so people will start the
conversation that lets you tell them this is a four-decade
survivor. More than just the history, this has all the elements we
love. The widebody appearance is pure aggression - the headlights
are individually separated; there are large flares for each fender;
and the spoiler covers the rear from end-to-end. And everyone loves
the attitude that comes from the side scoops and the shaker
hood.
Inside the camel interior is a great complementing color to the
exterior. Let's face it, when you have a T-top T/A like this you're
going to want to keep it open to the world. Another feature to have
when the T-tops are out is the cloth bucket seats. After all,
you'll never be afraid to hop into this one wearing shorts. There's
even factory air conditioning so you can stay open to the world
long into the summer season. Just like the exterior, the interior
feels quite original. So you'll be impressed with the overall level
of preservation. Plus, you'll also love how it's loaded with
features like power windows, tilt wheel, electric rear defrost, and
an upgraded Pioneer AM/FM/cassette stereo. The driver gets to face
iconic components like the Trans Am's special three-spoke steering
wheel, cool machined aluminum dash, and optional Rally gauge
package.
The 403 cubic-inch V8 is original to the car, and it has an
authentic appearance right down to the decals. And while the shaker
hood might be a display piece, it's just sooooo cool. The tidy
appearance suggests the power plant has been treated to good
regular maintenance, and the way it fires up easily reinforces this
careful life. The motor makes great muscle car sounds out of the
dual exhaust, and it moves the car with authority. 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. Plus, this one has
long-haul comfort thanks to a TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission and power steering. Finishing off this driver-friendly
package are power brakes w/discs up front and sway bars front &
rear.
A distinct classic like this needs the right paperwork, and so the
sale comes with the factory build sheet, original warranty card,
bill of sale, owner's manual, and service manuals. Even the
original T-top storage bags are included! This is a rare
opportunity to get a survivor-grade example of one of the coolest
classics around. Don't miss your chance, call today!
