"The hallowed halls of horsepower may have been desecrated in the
Seventies by federal regulations and two oil embargos, but even as
the muscle era dispersed into a vast sea of personal luxury coupes
and compact commuters, performance lived on at Pontiac. By
mid-decade, it had become apparent that the Trans Am was the sole
survivor. The trend continued for 1979, when the second-generation
Firebird concurrently received its last facelift and spent its last
year with available 6.6-liter power." - Hemmings
This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am is finished in its original color of
Mayan Red over Carmine Red velour interior. It is powered by the
legendary 400 cubic inch L78 motor mated to a 4-speed manual
transmission. This exceptional car is believed to have just over
20,000 miles. Purchased by our client in 2012 with 17,000 miles
showing on the odometer.
The Mayan Red (75) paint shows very well aside from some
imperfections on the trunk lid and rear spoiler. The exterior
features a shaker hood with the iconic "screaming chicken." The
Carmine Red velour upholstery presents in like new condition. The
dash and plastics are free of cracks and fading and the gauges are
in working order.
Pump the gas, turn the key and this Trans Am comes to a quick start
and drives as good as it did when it was leaving the Packer Pontiac
dealership in Pontiac Michigan in 1979 for the first time.
