Vehicle Description
Take some time looking over this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am,
because it's the right mix of preservation and proper restoration
investments. After all, you have the numbers-matching V8 and
classic T-tops look. But they also made sure to make this an
all-around fun classic by spending money on a proper respray, cold
A/C interior, and more.
The paint is a true standout... and the same reason why this coupe
caught your eye is also why others will gravitate towards it, too.
It's the kind of blue that was often seen on some of the earlier
models, and it really looks great on the final update to the
second-generation body. We love how the professional respray of the
Nocturne Blue has a nice hint of metallic to it. It really helps
highlight the angular elements that came on these '79s, like the
pointed Endura front end, wide body kit, fender side ducts, and the
full-length rear spoiler. And the way the whole package lines up
nicely tells you there has been attention paid to the body. The
tri-color Trans Am script and iconic hood bird are done in lighter
blues and sliver to give this a winter-like coolness to the whole
presentation. And that ice-cold steeliness extends to Pontiac's
"snowflake" alloys done in a coordinating silver.
Inside, the sea of blue continues on this well-presented and
factory-correct color package. The velour seating looks nice, and
it's handy on the days when T-tops are out and you're enjoying the
sunshine inside. Plus, there are more great factory features, like
power windows, an armrest center console, and cruise control. And
you have worthwhile upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo and
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. Pontiac's distinct sports
steering wheel has a cool blue wrapping, and it tilts to the ideal
comfort position. Beyond that is the hallmark machine-turned dash
with full gauge package, including large speedo and tach.
The 403 cubic-inch, four-barrel V8 is the numbers-matching
powerplant. It lives in a correct-style engine bay that has the
blue block radiating from within the deep black components. But
what everyone will really take notice of is the ultra-cool
shaker-style air topper (although this still correctly inhales
through the front.) It's also worth taking note on the
well-maintained fundamentals, like the belts, hoses, and new
battery. The big torque of the big V8 moves the sporty coupe
easily, but there's more to this car's story. The Trans Am has a
reputation for being a well-done all-around sports car. This is
from features like the front disc brakes and sway bars front &
rear. Plus, this one has long-haul comfort thanks to the power
steering and numbers-matching TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission.
The sale comes with plenty of desirable extras, including the
owner's manual, T-top storage bags, and a car cover. This distinct
T/A stands out even further for the level of preservation and
restoration it has been given. That makes an exceptional value at
this price. So don't miss your chance, call today!
