The late '70s Firebird has always been about attitude. With its
bold styling, shaker hood, and unmistakable stance, it was the kind
of car you noticed even if you weren't looking for it. These cars
spoke to an era of freedom and individuality, and they've only
grown more iconic with time. Today, when you see one rolling down
the road, it's not just about nostalgia-it's about making a
statement that still turns heads. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird does
exactly that, blending classic muscle presence with some
well-chosen upgrades.
Step inside and you'll find a driver-focused interior with bucket
seats and a center console. The tilt column frames a sporty Trans
Am-style steering wheel, while the machined dash trim and TA gauge
package keep the cockpit looking right. Much of the interior has
been refurbished to keep things tidy, making it a comfortable space
with proper factory touches like seatbelts, remote sport mirrors,
and even factory-style A/C.
Under the hood sits a Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 that fires up
easily and has the right muscle-car soundtrack, thanks to long-tube
headers and a newer exhaust system. An aluminum intake and
four-barrel carb feed the engine, and power is routed through a
3-speed automatic to a 10-bolt rear end. The setup runs strong,
with a tight steering feel and power brakes to keep it manageable
on the road. Suspension is classic Firebird with coils up front and
leaf springs in the rear, backed by modern snowflake wheels and
Firestone tires.
Highlights:
• 400 cubic-inch V8 with aluminum intake and 4-barrel carb

This Firebird delivers the look, sound, and feel people want in a
late-'70s Pontiac. It's a good driver with the right stance, a
strong-running 400 V8, and an interior that still captures the
period vibe. A solid way to enjoy one of Pontiac's most iconic
shapes. Call today!
