When Ford debuted the Mustang in 1964 and created a whole new class of car known as the pony class, General Motors was on the case to create a competitor. They created two, in fact, the Camaro in 1966, and the Firebird in 1967. In 1969, Pontiac introduced a specialty package for the Firebird, called, you guessed it, the Trans Am. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary is a celebration of Ten Years of The Trans Am. With 94,000 miles, it’s been through a fair bit of restoration and refurbishment work to ensure it stays at its best. Will you be its next custodian?
By 1979, the second generation Firebird had been around for nine years, and needed some refreshment before the third would take over three years later. The 10th Anniversary (mistakenly called the Silver Anniversary by some due to the silver paint), gave the model a much needed shot in the arm. This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary bears its distinctive silver paintwork and period wheels, wrapped in Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Just check out those details, including the prominent hood scoop, side scoop and kicked-up rear spoiler. This is peak Seventies design! The interior also features a silver and gray theme in keeping with the exterior, and seats four occupants on leather seats. The current owner reports that the interior was refinished and touched up in 2021, and reportedly sports factory air conditioning. A retro style modern head unit has been installed with Bluetooth connectivity, driving Alpine front speakers and Pioneer rear speakers. We can also see a B&M billet shifter present.
Sporting a 403ci (6.6L) V8 in the much desired ‘Shaker Hood’ configuration, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary’s powerplant has received a lovely upgrade in the shape of a Holley Sniper fuel injection system with new fuel tank. The seller reports that the motor was rebuilt 4 years ago, while the rear end service was completed in 2021, along with an AC service. The engine was rated to put out around 200hp due to the Seventies emissions regulations, sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes are present too.
