Widely popularized for its role in Smokey and the Bandit, the second-generation Pontiac Firebird is well regarded as a solid ’70s American classic. Never mind that the Malaise Era was in full swing, squeezing those V8s into abysmally low power outputs, there are plenty of avenues today to bring these cars back up to respectable power figures. Therefore, if you’re the kind who likes classic Firebirds, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic find. It’s got a large V8 under the hood and comes bearing just 28,691 miles to its name. So don’t dilly-dally; pick up this Lubbock, Texas-based muscle car before someone else does.
Wearing a very ’70s gold paint job, this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am’s design is nothing short of iconic. It’s easy to see why the car was chosen for Smokey and the Bandit, albeit in single headlamp form. This car sports dual headlamps, a design feature introduced in 1979. The car rides on a set of gold and silver alloy wheels with Firehawk Indy 500 tires. Meanwhile, the hood features a shaker hood scoop and the iconic Screaming Chicken motif that’s much sought after in Firebirds from this era. The scoop also tells us that there’s a 6.6-liter engine beneath. But we’re not done with exterior details. Moving towards the rear of the car, you’ll note that it’s got twin T-tops for a semi-convertible experience when desired. Then, the rear window features black plastic slats, which are a very Seventies feature that not only came on American cars but some European and Japanese machines, too. The interior of this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is in a color scheme of tan and brown and can accommodate four adults. We’re told that there’s functional air conditioning and an upgraded retro-style radio. You’ve also got a sporty three-spoke steering wheel and a gauge cluster that’s widely called the “Rally Pack”.
Powering this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a naturally aspirated 403ci (6.6L) V8 with headers and hydraulic cams, powering the rear wheels via a 3-speed automatic transmission. There’s also a new exhaust so that you can enjoy the V8’ rumble to the maximum.

We would have bought all the 1979 Trans Ams we can lay our hands on, stored them, and sold them for a fortune a few years down the pike if we had known that they would hold such value today. The Trans Ams that had this engine can be driven like there’s no tomorrow. However, it was too big to meet the government's Corporate Average Fuel Economy grade. Knowing our history, we were thrilled to take in this staggering 1979 Pontiac Trans AM with just 74,563 original miles on its clock. Currently located in Willingboro, New Jersey, this beauty is reportedly a family-owned car ready to be driven away by its new owner.
Pontiac’s Firebird is one of the most iconic pony cars. Made across four generations between 1967 and 2002, the Firebird was the Camaro’s sister car. The similarities weren’t just visual; they were basically the same under the skin as well. The second-generation Firebird really made a name for itself through its screen presence on Smokey and the Bandit. The car used for the movie was a 1977 Firebird Trans Am, so if you’re a fan of the film, here’s a 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale right now. This car comes with an upgraded engine and upgraded suspension as well. Just don’t try to jump it; many of the movie's stunt cars didn’t survive the experience.
