In terms of instant reactions, not many classic muscle cars can
match the visual and visceral appeal of this numbers-matching 1979
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Fully repainted in Starlight Black
exterior, this iconic T/A showcases its aggressive shaker hood,
gold trim, Trans Am badging, and signature 'Screaming Chicken' logo
decal, making this Pontiac turn heads wherever it goes.
With its T-tops on or off, the interior is clean, decked out in
comfy black vinyl. Separated by a center console, we find a pair of
sporty covered bucket seats. A three-spoke, power-assisted steering
wheel sits in front of a shimmering metal dashboard, highlighted by
a large 6,000 rpm tic-toc-tac and complemented by a matching 100
mph speedometer. Sliding HVAC controls sit above an aftermarket
Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit, offering a few more soundtrack options
than the original unit it replaces.
Under that massive, scooped hood, we find a rebuilt,
numbers-matching 403 cubic-inch V-8 engine that utilizes a single
four-barrel Reman carburetor, while spent gases are expelled
through a true dual exhaust. That power is then routed through a
numbers-matching Turbo-Hydramatic 350 three-speed automatic
transmission before being sent to the ten-bolt rear end. From the
factory, this original motor made an advertised SAE Net 185
horsepower at 3,600 rpm and 315 pound-feet of torque.
