For Sale: 1979 Pontiac Firebird in Kentwood, Michigan

The 1977 film Smokey and the Bandit turned the black and gold Trans Am into one of the most recognizable cars in movie history, and 1979 became the best sales year the Firebird ever had. This Trans Am carries that look in full. It's a Special Edition "Bandit" tribute that left the factory in Starlight Black, powered by a big Oldsmobile 403 V8.

Finished in Starlight Black with gold accents throughout, this Trans Am has the bold, unmistakable styling that made the Special Edition famous. A gold Firebird decal, the legendary "Screaming Chicken," spreads its wings across the hood, and gold pinstriping and gold accented wheels carry the theme down the body. Glass T-tops bring open air driving to the coupe, and the black and gold contrast turns heads the moment it pulls up.

Power comes from the Oldsmobile 403ci V8 with a 4 barrel carburetor, paired with a 3 speed automatic transmission. The 403 was one of the more interesting engines to find in a Trans Am, known for its strong torque and relaxed, muscular feel, and an MSD ignition adds crisp, reliable spark. Power steering and power brakes make the car easy to drive, and air conditioning keeps things comfortable on warm days.

Inside, black cloth bucket seats pair with a gold dash, carrying the black and gold color story into the cabin. Power windows add everyday convenience, and the cockpit style stays true to the Trans Am's driver focused personality, with the right mix of period character and comfort.

This Trans Am is a great chance to own a classic black and gold Firebird with the look that made the model a pop culture icon, plus a big Olds V8, T-tops, and air conditioning.
