Vehicle Description
Solid small block power, four-on-the-floor, upgraded audio, and a
full midnight package make this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
tribute instantly attractive. And you even get a value price on a
classic that's easy to drive.
This one loves to look unique. That's why it's a '79 coupe with a
'77 front end. But what people are really going to take note of is
the matte black hood bird against the full blackout paint package.
It's a very modern and cool way to deliver the classic style you
love. And speaking of the best details, you also have the
shaker-style hood scoop trim and three-piece rear spoiler. The
black paint has a very comprehensive appearance, especially with
most of the badging deleted. This is a driver's car, and so the
glossy black isn't perfect up close, but it certainly will get you
respect in-between stoplights. And while this one loves its dark
side, all the black also lets polished pieces like the
snowflake-style alloys and large exhaust tips really pop.
The blackout style continues inside. It has nice fun details, like
Pontiac's classic hobnail cloth upholstery. You'll also appreciate
newer items like the carpeting and headliner. Part of
driver-quality means having a fun driver. This has the hallmark
Trans Am style sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and a Hurst
shifter. The machine-turned dash panel even has Dakota Digital
gauges (the sale comes with the hardware to complete the install.)
The stereo is a modern Kenwood AM/FM/CD unit with USB and
Bluetooth, and it connects to a custom speaker system including the
ones in the custom center console. And power windows make it easy
to take down the glass, crank up the music, and go for a drive.
The engine bay has proper V8 power and the Pontiac valve covers,
and so it looks right for this T/A tribute. The hidden secret is
that this is really a Chevy small block. So that means there are
also plenty of easy upgrades available. It now has go-fast goodies
like a Brawler four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock Performer RPM
intake, and Hooker headers feeding into an H-pipe dual exhaust with
Flowmaster mufflers. The consignor even claims this has a Comp Cams
camshaft and roller rockers. You'll even spot good supporting
components like an aluminum radiator with electric fans and an
upgraded oil pan with new gaskets. It's a powerful package, and you
take full control with the four-speed manual transmission. There's
also power steering, sway bars front & rear, power brakes, and
upgraded drilled rotors on the front discs.
This Firebird represents opportunity. The value price leaves room
in your budget to update the paint, upgrade the upholstery, restore
the A/C, or other details that you may want to upgrade or
personalize on this coupe. And you have the time and freedom to
plan whatever future you want because on day one you have a
distinctly dark T/A tribute that has a great growl and is a ton of
fun to take out on the road. So you'll love the drive today and all
the possibilities for tomorrow. Call now!!!
