For Sale: 1979 Pontiac Firebird in Ft Worth, Texas

Few cars in the history of the autoverse are as head-turning as this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Fully repainted in its original Nocturne Blue exterior, this model year represents a complete refresh of the top-tier second-generation Firebird. A new, more streamlined front end that allows for better airflow thanks to a repositioned pair of grilles and an updated rear spoiler still manage to take a backseat to the giant 'Screaming Chicken' decal on the expansive hood of this WS7-equipped, pulse-pounding Pontiac.

Inside, we find a wholly replaced black vinyl interior featuring a set of sporty bucket seats separated by a combination storage console/armrest. A Grant GT steering wheel sits in front of a shimmering metal dashboard highlighted by a big tach and complimenting speedometer, while ancillary gauges are situated about. An AM/FM/cassette player adds entertainment beyond the big motor under the hood, while functional air conditioning keeps temperatures cool when it's too hot out to pop the T-tops off.

Under that massive scooped hood, we find a 6.6-liter V8 that we believe is original based on the partial VIN we found on the stamp pad (pictured). It has been upgraded with a FiTech electronic fuel injection system to help the already underrated big block make more than the 220 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque it was originally advertised as having from the factory. That power is then routed through a Turbo Hydramatic 350 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the ten-bolt rear end.

This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am rides on a set of sixteen-inch wheels taken from a Gen-3 Trans Am shod in 215/60R-16 Starfire tires. A set of front and rear sway bars adds a bit of rigidity to complement the power front disc and rear drum brakes. Along with plenty of nostalgia, this T/A comes with plenty of provenance, including its factory build sheet, original window sticker, and owner's manual.
