Vehicle Description
1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am� Rarely-ordered 4.9L V-8 engine
(code L37) Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission 1
of 1,590 Firebirds ordered with this engine/trans combination in
1979 Air-conditioning, power steering, power four-wheel disc
brakes, power antenna Heritage Brown exterior with original Camel
interior Aftermarket tinted rear and side windows 62,637 miles on
actual mileage title Original build sheet (found in pieces under
one of the car's seats) MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to offer
this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with low actual miles as stated
on the title and a four-speed manual transmission and original
build sheet. This car left the Van Nuys, California assembly plant
on the second week of April 1979 with the following equipment:
shaker hood, Muncie M21 four-speed close-ratio manual transmission,
3.08 gearing and Positraction, power steering, power four-wheel
disc brakes, air-conditioning, 4.9L V-8 engine, gold graphics
package, gold aluminum "Snowflake" wheels, front and rear wheel
spoilers, tinted glass, bucket front seats, Formula steering wheel,
center console, fog lights, blacked-out taillights and power
antenna. Only 1,590 Firebird Trans Ams were built with this engine
and transmission combination in 1979 and we were able to verify
this car came with the factory 4.9 liter V-8. At some later point,
someone applied the 6.6 TA graphics shown on the hood scoop.
Dressed in newer Heritage Brown paint, it shows very well, however
there are a few minor blemishes visible upon close inspection.
Complementing the paint are the so-called "screaming chicken" hood
and B-pillar graphics, stripes and the gold "snowflake" wheels. The
glass is in good shape overall but the windshield has a chip on the
driver's side, lower left. The side and rear windows carry
aftermarket tint. The car's urethane bumpers are in fine condition
and the car rolls on BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, size 225/70R15
front and rear, surrounding those aforementioned "Snowflakes." The
wheels are in decent shape but have some patina. The body panels
are straight and the engine bay looks decent overall. Battery
appears new. Inside, the original Camel-colored seats with a
honeycomb-like pattern are in good shape. The horn is inoperative
but the matching carpet, the headliner, instrument panel, Formula
steering wheel, door panels, package shelf, mirrors, center console
and shift lever are all in good shape. Completing the interior is a
Alpine AM/FM stereo with cassette. The Firebird front end was
restyled in 1979. It also marked the 10th Anniversary of the Trans
Am. In 1979, Pontiac sold 116,535 Trans Ams, the highest sold in a
year. Up until the 1979 models, the performance of 400-equipped
Firebirds could still be brought up to near pre-1970 levels by
removing the catalytic converter and opening up the block off plate
to make the hood scoop functional. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! CLICK HERE
