Vehicle Description
There was just something a bit meaner about the restyled 1979
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. So when you can find one in its original
color combo and numbers-matching V8, it has an instant attraction
when offered at this value price.
This year Trans Am has a widebody appearance that's pure aggression
- the headlights are individually separated; there are large flares
for each fender; and the spoiler covers the front end-to-end. White
is an attractive color, especially because it makes for a nice
background to let the T/A graphics package really stand out. It's
done with fiery red and orange tones that have a bold blazing
against the bright white. And it's hard to argue against the appeal
of the hallmark Phoenix on the hood that truly looks like it's
rising from flames. This one looks highly original and almost like
a barn find. We don't have confirmation about how much of a
survivor it really is, but it has the right look where most people
will take a look and assume you have a highly original coupe.
That's also because some of the best details are still in place,
like the shaker hood scoop, quad exhaust tips, and iconic snowflake
alloy wheels.
The red interior coordinates with exterior accents to give you a
thoughtful style inside and out. Pontiac's Hobnail cloth pattern
looks stock and distinctive on the seats, and the red is also bold
on the door panels, dash, and three-spoke sports steering wheel.
This keeps a very stock style, and so you have nice features like
the factory air conditioning, power windows, and the Delco AM/FM
radio. Even the dome light is working. Plus, you'll appreciate
driver-oriented features, like the armrest center console, sporty
machine-turned dash, and full gauges with large speedo and
tach.
Under the hood is the numbers-matching 301 cubic-inch V8 with a
four-barrel carburetor on top. This is the one people like when
you're looking for a solid driver's car. They are often referenced
for their hardy construction, and this example runs and drives with
the robust feeling of proper care. The motor makes for a confident
driver, and it's an overall easy cruiser thanks to the three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front
discs.
What you're going to see as you look over this whole coupe is a fun
opportunity. This is a value price for a classic T/A - especially
one with the numbers-matching V8. The money left over in your
budget can go to your personal tastes and updates for areas like
the paint, carpeting, or turning the A/C system to R134a. But the
heart of the value really comes from unleashing the strong-running
V8 out on the streets and enjoying a solid classic Trans Am from
day one. So don't let this opportunity pass you by. Call
