In the fierce battle of pony cars against Ford, Pontiac's contribution, the Firebird, stood shoulder to shoulder with its Camaro sibling, sharing platforms, engines, and a legacy deeply etched in automotive history. The 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, a celebrated icon, emerged from the second generation and found immortal fame on the silver screen in Smokey and the Bandit. Now, with 88,000 miles under its belt, this legendary car is ready for a new adventure, having undergone recent maintenance and received fresh components to ensure its continued smooth performance.
Cloaked in a silver coat that accentuates its muscular lines, the 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am boasts a distinctive silhouette that commands attention. Rolling on Diamond wheels with new tires, the car exudes a powerful presence, emphasized by the new dual exhaust and twin chrome tips framing the rear bumper. Iconic dual rectangular headlamps and the Screaming Chicken decal on the hood pay homage to the Trans Am legacy. Inside, the black-dominated cabin offers comfortable seating for four adults. The driver faces an analog instrument cluster featuring a 160mph speedometer, 6000rpm tachometer, water temperature and oil pressure gauges, accompanied by a clock. The center stack houses the fuel gauge, battery voltage indicator, and controls for the reportedly functional air conditioning. Modernity makes a cameo with a Kenwood Excelon radio featuring USB connectivity, complemented by upgraded speakers in the doors. The trunk, showcasing excellent condition for its age, accommodates the spare wheel and associated changing equipment.
Powering this 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a 400ci V8 engine, generating around 220hp, a testament to its existence during the Malaise Era with stringent emission controls. Yet, the promise of aftermarket tuning looms, offering the potential to double its factory output. The four-speed manual transmission channels power to the rear wheels, ensuring an engaging driving experience. Recent enhancements, including a new radiator, water pump, distributor, plugs, wires, and fuel pump, attest to the commitment to performance and reliability, making this Trans Am ready for the road and a testament to the enduring legacy of Pontiac's iconic Firebird.
Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
We would have bought all the 1979 Trans Ams we can lay our hands on, stored them, and sold them for a fortune a few years down the pike if we had known that they would hold such value today. The Trans Ams that had this engine can be driven like there’s no tomorrow. However, it was too big to meet the government's Corporate Average Fuel Economy grade. Knowing our history, we were thrilled to take in this staggering 1979 Pontiac Trans AM with just 74,563 original miles on its clock. Currently located in Willingboro, New Jersey, this beauty is reportedly a family-owned car ready to be driven away by its new owner.
