Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present
this time-capsule 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, an exceptionally
original example that embodies the end of an unforgettable era in
American performance.
This Trans Am stands as a true collector's piece, preserved in
remarkable condition and priced accordingly. Finished in Atlantis
Blue with the matching blue "Screaming Chicken" hood decal, the car
captures everything that made late-'70s Pontiac styling so iconic -
muscular lines, shaker hood, and unmistakable road presence.
Under the hood rests the factory 6.6-liter V8, paired to an
automatic transmission, delivering the torque-rich, smooth
performance that made the Trans Am a staple of American roads and
silver screens alike. The original interior remains a time capsule
of late-'70s design - blue vinyl upholstery, machine-turned dash
trim, and the signature three-spoke Formula steering wheel all
remain untouched and well-preserved.
With no aftermarket modifications, this Trans Am offers a genuine
glimpse into 1979 factory originality, right down to the
period-correct details that collectors value most. From the iconic
snowflake wheels to the detailed bird graphics and hood lettering,
it's a rolling reminder of Pontiac's flair for performance and
personality - even in an era of change.
This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am represents more than just a car; it's an
artifact of American automotive identity - a preserved piece of
history from when horsepower met attitude and style met
substance.

including 100+ HD pictures and video - at GatewayClassicCars.com.
