Vehicle Description
1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has a cool survivor style you see on
a one-owner car. And while proper V8 power, four-wheel disc brakes,
and T-tops all get your attention, you'll also just love this T/A's
vintage charm.
Sundance Yellow is cool factory color to have, because the creamy
yellow just seems to represent the late 1970s ideally. So not only
Is this the factory-correct color, but also it's believed to be the
original application. We're told this is a one-owner vehicle. The
finish is not perfect, but that's not the point of a car like this.
The yellow still looks vibrant but has the right amount of fade for
people to understand you have a survivor without ever saying a
word. So while the budget price leaves room for a respray, it can
only be original once. Because this is an aggressive Trans Am, you
get all the performance pieces you love, like the shaker hood,
sport body kit, fender vents, full-width rear spoiler, and a bold
sunset-style decal package. There are even nice period-correct
additions like the front bra and rear window louvers. It gives this
the kind of presentation like someone bought every option and
accessory at the Pontiac dealership for their high-end Trans
Am.
The camel interior is a great complementing color to the exterior
because it nicely coordinates with the tone of the yellow. So that
just gives you another reason to take the T-tops out. Just like the
exterior it's quite correct and a survivor. So white it's not
perfect, it has all the details we love, right down to the cloth
seats with stylish hobnail-style inserts. Power windows, the
machined-turned dash insert, and the hallmark sports steering
mounted on a tilt column make this feel comfortable and sporty.
There are additional features like the tach, power locks, and
factory air condition that will need servicing before working
properly. The Pioneer cassette stereo has the cool look of a period
correct upgrade. In fact, with the seven-band equalizer and CB
radio mounted in the headliner, this really has the same feeling as
the exterior of a loaded car with every feature that was around in
1979.
Under the hood is the correct 403 cubic-inch V8. It has the same
kind of honest presentation as the rest of this Pontiac, and with
its one-owner story, it's easy to believe this is the car's
original powerplant. The hoses and belts show that this has been
maintained correctly, and the way it fires up readily reaffirms
this care. The V8 inhales deeply with the four-barrel carburetor,
and it makes a sweet sound out of the quad-tip dual exhaust. Power
steering and the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission makes
this Trans Am easy to enjoy. And these are known for their handling
thanks to features like four-wheel power disc brakes, sway bars
front & rear, and BF Goodrich T/A tires on the iconic snowflake
alloys.
Original, loaded, and distinct, this is the strong-running T/A that
represents a great untouched legacy. Call today!!!
