For Sale: 1979 Pontiac Firebird in Sonoma, California

Vehicle Description

1979 Pontiac Firebird
T-Tops, V8, Air Conditioning Project for Trans Am Clone

1979 Pontiac Firebird Esprit for sale. California car was in storage and has not been used in about 20 years. Well equipped with T-Tops, factory air conditioning, V8 and automatic transmission. Delivered new in Gold Poly. Showing 17,951 though actual miles are unknown.

This car sat in a garage for the last 20 years. We have not attempted to get the car running and it was last driven sometime in the late 1990's according to the neighbors. We have no idea of what it will need mechanically. The body looks decent and the car appears to be complete other than the right-rear quarter has some minor denting and the hood was off the car and in the weather and will need to be replaced. The floors are good and solid. The interior is also complete though a restoration is needed. Fortunately, the dash has no cracking and the glass and T-Tops are good. There is no rust in the rockers or around the windows.

The neighbor we spoke to who knew the previous owner said that he had gotten it from an older couple locally. The little bit of documentation in the owner's manual that we have would indicate that that is the case. He was adamant that the miles were original at just under 18,000 miles though I seriously doubt it. Either way, it was a California car from new, it is complete and with the t-tops it could make for a good Trans Am clone. Some books and records included. Clear, California title-only.
