Vehicle Description
Some people wanted to play Smokey and the Bandit when buying a
black Pontiac in the late 1970s. But this is your chance to own
something more than the movie star car in this 1979 Pontiac
Firebird Trans Am Restomod. You'll find upgraded details everywhere
from the A/C interior to the wheels. And the heart is now a modern
6.0-liter fuel-injected V8.
We could continue to make movie references about a black Trans Am
with gold trim, but the simple fact is that these were so cool
looking that they were destined to be legendary even without
Hollywood. Never designed to be a subtle machine, the deep
Starlight Black is the perfect outlaw hue. This is the
factory-correct color, and it was updated later in life. It has an
ideal style today where it has a glossy finish, but nothing too
fancy to keep you from enjoying this restomod to the fullest. And a
modern clearcoat application like this will always look awesome
after a professional detailing. The iconic shaker hood,
color-matched Endura front end, full front body kit, full-width
rear spoiler are all part of what makes this an iconic sports
coupe. And speaking of hallmarks, we know you love having that
golden hood bird front and center. Plus, when you look at this
coupe's lowered stance and large Centerline wheels with 17/18 inch
front/rear stagger, you know it's something extra special.
The interior is a great mix of originality and upgrades all done in
a deep, dark black to match the exterior. If you've looked at other
second-generation T/As, you know those front seats are quite
different. These are buckets borrowed from a fourth-generation
Firebird. So you get to keep the correct lineage, but now the seats
are done in supple leather and have much more modern bolstering for
better all-day comfort. It also has good fundamentals with newer
carpeting, a smooth dash pad, an armrest center console, and an
excellent headliner. This has great features like R134a air
conditioning, power windows, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with a USB
input for the best modern music in this classic. It's the kind of
setup that's built to be enjoyed. That's why it's easy to get
comfortable with the classic three-spoke sports steering wheel,
tilt steering column, auxiliary readouts, and full gauges package
set in the cool machine-turned panel.
You're going to love lifting the hood wherever you park. Because
while you have the classic shaker, what's underneath is a very
modern powerhouse. This is a fuel-injected 6.0-liter LS2 V8 added
within the last few years. Not only is this a clean installation,
but it also has the best supporting components. This includes a
serpentine belt system, MSD coil, and an aluminum radiator with
dual electric fans. It makes for a strong and powerful total
package. And you'll love the autorotative rumble this makes as long
tube headers feed into a Flowmaster dual exhaust. The upgraded
4L65E four-speed automatic transmission engineered to handle the
power of an LS motor, and this one even is believed to have a 3000
stall. Plus, the overdrive is always welcomed on a cruise-in night.
The Trans Am was known to be one of the best handling cars of its
time, so this one knows how to go around corners. This is enhanced
by thick sway bars front & rear, upgraded Wilwood front disc
brakes, and grippy BF Goodrich gForce performance tires.
Complete with the factory buildsheet, this is one fire-breathing
screaming chicken that has the performance to live up to its
aggressive movie star looks. A complete package like this is always
an attractive buy, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
