Overview of 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am For Sale by Owner

Pontiac’s Firebird is an iconic car. It was made between 1967 and 2002 across four generations, and the sister car of Chevy’s Camaro. Notably, the second and third generations of Firebird had significant screen presences, in the shape of featuring prominently on Smokey and the Bandit (second generation), as well as Knight Rider (third generation). It’s no surprise, given that the second-generation’s muscular and pumped-up looks lent itself well to star alongside Burt Reynolds, while the third generation’s sleek computer-graphics esque design was perfect to be the car of the future – talking and all. Today, we’ve got a nice second-generation 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale from The Villages, Florida. This machine has got the Oldsmobile 403ci V8 under the hood, and rolls on a set of aftermarket Snowflake wheels. We’re also informed that the interior has been reupholstered.

Exterior and Interior

Carried elegantly by those aftermarket Snowflake wheels, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am’s Platinum Silver painted body looks suitably menacing for a car that packs a massive V8 and comes from the Seventies. It’s got a dual exhaust system, quad headlamps, an air induction hood scoop and Trans Am graphics adorning it. The most prominent graphic of course is the car’s iconic Screaming Chicken hood decal! The silver interior of this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am comes with vinyl seating for four adults. It’s got some nice turned aluminum dashboard trim and some aftermarket gauges that really go well with the overall look of the interior. We also see an air conditioning and heating control panel, as well as an aftermarket audio system, helping make this car even nicer for those long cruises. The car also has power windows and a suitably spacious cargo compartment.

Engine

A 403ci Oldsmobile V8 drives this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, fed by a four-barrel carburetor. The engine also benefits from an MSD 6AL ignition system and the battery has been relocated to the trunk. Power goes to the rear axle via a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The official reported power figure for this engine in 1979 was 185 horsepower, but it’s easy to coax much more with a few bolt-ons.
