Vehicle Description
The popularity of "Smokey and the Bandit" has made black-on-black
T/As a classic that's always in demand. But not everyone gets to
find a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am that was born with this desirable
color combo and is exceptionally well preserved today, right down
to its original V8.
This one nails the Bandit look in every way that matters. Better
still, it's a factory black car, so there was no color change
needed to make it look right. You can tell there was plenty of time
and money invested in a professional respray so that the modern
clearcoat helps it earn its Starlight Black name. And of course,
the gold detail package really makes this coupe standout.
Everything you want is in place, so the hood bird is so bold that
it's to be feared, and all the lettering on every side is crisp and
clear against the midnight paintjob. And matching this gold accent
package are the iconic snowflake 15-inch alloys. So yes, all your
favorite parts of this icon are already in place.
"Black is beautiful," is the first thing Burt Reynolds said when he
saw his Trans Am in the Bandit sequel, and this interior follows
that line perfectly. The high back vinyl bucket seats look factory
fresh, and they provide the kind of all day comfort that would keep
you happy bootlegging beer all across the South. The carpets, door
panels, center console, and every other key dark piece of this car
have not lost its luster. But this Trans Am doesn't just feel like
midnight inside. Just like the exterior trim, there are plenty of
bright spots. The driver gets to sit behind factory the sports
steering wheel with a golden three-spoke design. And beyond that is
the machined aluminum dash that came on these upper class Trans
Ams. You'll notice this has all the right gauges, right down to the
clock/tach combo. There are plenty of comfortable features so you
have power windows, power locks, and air conditioning. Plus, we bet
everyone will love it if you can find a Jerry Reed 8-track, because
the original stereo is still cranking out the tunes.
The 403 cubic-inch V8 is original to the car, and it has an
authentic appearance right down to the factory shaker hood that
sits on top of the four-barrel carburetor. The block is still
covered in factory-correct Pontiac blue paint, and it looks like
this powerplant has been treated to good regular maintenance. The
Trans Am has a reputation for not only being quick, but also as one
of the best all-around handling sports cars of its day. That's due
to the right features like front disc brakes, as well as front &
rear stabilizer bars. Plus, this one has long-haul comfort, too,
thanks to a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
power brakes, and modern Firestone Firehawk tires.
This one has a feeling of total quality. You see it in the detail
like the weatherstripping, and feel it in the way this one drives
with confidence. That makes a car with great originality, proper
maintenance, and an outstanding presentation. Your total package
T/A is waiting... but it won't linger for long. Call today!!!
