Overview of 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am For Sale by Owner

Pontiac’s fine Firebird pony car is a classic case of ‘gone too soon’. Four generations were made between 1967 and 2002, but many wish that the Firebird kicked around for a bit longer. The sister car to Chevy’s Camaro which bowed out just last year, the Firebird is well known for being the basis of Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as a prominent showing in Smokey and the Bandit. It’s an all-American hero, especially when decked out with that iconic Screaming Chicken decal atop the hood. If you want some of that action, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am comes with the chicken and many more things to excite. Bearing just under 75,000 miles, this car packs many original features and currently rests in Willingboro, New Jersesy.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in a clean white suit, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is stunning at first glance. Its quintessential Seventies design is punctuated by its Shaker hood and the iconic Screaming Chicken decal adorning it in mid-blue. You’ll find more Chicken decals in blue along the body of the car, as well as Trans Am script. Meanwhile, the car’s quad headlamps stare you down while it rolls on its 15-inch Snowflake wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. There’s even a T-top roof for that open-air experience when the mood is right. The all-original blue interior of this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am comes with Trans Am seat covers and the original AM/FM radio too. It’s a wonderful place to spend time in, accessed via frameless doors and providing the driver with a full gauge pack. There’s also an air conditioning control panel which is great if you reside in a hotter part of the country. If not, heating and defrosting is present too.

Engine

The massive 6.6-liter (403ci) V8 under the hood of this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am gives it plenty of go-factor. Remember that 1979 was still Malaise Era territory so displacement was really necessary. Pontiac conservatively rated the engine at 220hp but contemporary tests proved much higher figures were the norm. A 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard for this car.
