Overview of 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Y84 Special Edition For Sale by Owner

The 1979 Y84 Trans Am, like the example we are featuring here, is a collectible "Bandit" edition with a gold bird, gold decals, and gold wheels. Current owner reports that this car only has under 64,000 miles on its odometer.
