Pontiac, an American automobile manufacturer with a storied history, has produced some of the most coveted cars in the industry. Originally established as the Oakland Motor Car Company in 1907, it was acquired by General Motors in 1909. The Oakland Pontiac series of cars emerged from this acquisition. By the 1920s, Pontiac had gained significant popularity, surpassing its parent company. Recognizing its success, General Motors discontinued the Oakland Motor Car Company and established Pontiac as a standalone division in 1926. One of Pontiac's iconic models is the Firebird, which was produced from 1967 to 2002 across four generations. The Firebird Trans Am variant, renowned for its high-performance capabilities, holds a special place in automotive enthusiasts' hearts. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, with just 87,500 miles on the odometer, exemplifies the spirit of the Trans Am lineage.
The 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am underwent notable design changes, particularly at the front end. It now boasts distinct quad rectangular headlights recessed into alcoves, giving it a unique and recognizable appearance. This particular 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am also features the highly sought-after Shaker Hood, accompanied by the iconic Firebird decal in black, red, and grey. The front grille is split-type and finished in black, complemented by a front spoiler for added aerodynamics. Ventilation vents are present on the sides to assist with cooling, and Trans Am decals adorn the front fenders. At the rear, you'll find the signature Firebird swooping back design, along with a duck lip style rear spoiler, car width taillights, and dual exhaust tips. Completing the exterior are the 15" Trans Am Snowflake wheels featuring the Firebird logo at the center. Inside, the cabin is appointed in black, showcasing front and rear black leather bucket seats for a sporty yet luxurious feel. The dashboard features a swirl bezel design with black-faced gauges and instrument panels, exuding a classic and nostalgic vibe. The focal point of the interior is the three-spoke steering wheel, finished in bare metal and adorned with the Firebird logo at the center, mirroring the design of the gear lever. Practical features such as the functional heater, factory AM/FM radio, and cruise control further enhance the driving experience.
This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is equipped with the 6.6L (403ci) Oldsmobile V8 engine with induction through a Rochester 4-Barrel carburetor, which provides a respectable 185 horsepower. Paired with the TH350 3-speed automatic transmission sending drive to the rear wheels, this powertrain combination offers smooth acceleration and reliable performance. Whether cruising down the highway or unleashing its power on the open road, the Trans Am delivers a thrilling driving experience.
