Dont look now, but this is the biggest bargain in the showroom today. 70s F-Bodies are red hot, and this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am packs a correct Pontiac 400 engine, a 4-speed gearbox, and great-looking Nocturne Blue paint. You wanted one when you were a kid, and at this price theres no excuse not to own it today. Now that you are seeing it with different eyes, this is a great-looking car. The paint is a 10-year-old respray, but its holding up well and has a shine thats still superior to whatever GM was spraying on cars in 1979. Its also nicely assembled, with urethane bumpers that fit well and show few cracks, big doors that close without needing a violent slam, and custom-painted graphics that are a cool twist on the original Firebird hood decal. Never designed to be a subtle machine, the Nocturne Blue paint is the antidote to the more familiar 70s colors and lets you relive the era without having to do it with brown and gold and orange. Its not perfect, but its nice enough to be a car that can hold its head high at car shows and still turn heads on the street. Honestly, driving one of these today is even more of an event than it was in 1979. The blue vinyl interior is reportedly mostly original, including seat covers, door panels, and dash pad. All the other stuff like the center console and headliner are likewise original, and its likely that even the carpets were installed in 1979, so you can see that this cars always been well-maintained. The gauges are original with clear markings, and the original AM/FM/cassette radio is joined by a modern AM/FM/CD stereo head unit neatly installed under the dash. Engine-turned dashboards have represented high-performance since the earliest days of motoring, and Pontiac used it to great effect in the Trans Am throughout the first two generations. In a lot of cars it tends to peel and turn yellow, but in this cool blue coupe, it remains bright, shiny, and firmly affixed to the dash. Options include cold A/C, power windows and locks, and a tilt steering column. There are a few signs of wear and age, but it would be a crime to restore this interior. The trunk is without a mat, but the floor doesnt have any of the telltale signs that this car has been wrecked or rusty, so feel free to have a close look. When you checked the 4-speed manual transmission box on the order form for your new Trans Am, you got the last of the Pontiac-built 400 cubic inch V8s. This one was recently tuned and remains nicely detailed, topped with a Quadrajet carburetor living under the hood scoop, which was more decoration than function, but who cares when it looks this cool? Theres a new alternator, proper Pontiac Turquoise engine enamel, and a lot of plumbing that was typical of the late-70s. A fresh dual exhaust system features an X-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers, so it sounds spectacular and ends with the cool dual tips under each quarter panel. And seriously, there arent many factory wheels better-looking than the Pontiac honeycomb alloys, which are wrapped in recent Firestone radials. If youve been looking for a solid Trans Am thats ripe for appreciation, this one fits the bill. Call today!

The result is a stunning coupe that delivers everything you imagine a classic T/A can be. The stunning presentation starts with the paint. The gold makes this Trans Am akin to some of the special edition cars. But this is a more modern and deeper application that radiates with true precious metal authority every time the sunlight hits it. This generation has a particularly sporty look with the Endura front end, extra flare in the wheel arches, and a full-width rear spoiler. Plus, this performance attitude is turned up a notch with an extra hint of dark side. Not only does the grille and blacked-out rear panel look great against the gold, but the centers of the classic Rally II wheels were given a gloss black upgrade. And the perfect mix of this black and gold attitude comes together in the different shades of the famous hood bird that makes these T/As a drivers legend. Inside is an even bolder presentation with the upgrade to a red interior. There was a solid investment here, so the bucket seats, carpeting, door panels, dash, and much more all feel quite fresh. They even added nice upgrades like the AM/FM/CD stereo. The machined-turned metal panels are a great sporty touch that only the best Pontiacs got, and the return of the gold on the trim makes for a nice coordination with the exterior. You get all the best classic performance pieces like the grippy three-spoke sports steering wheel, full gauges, large speedo, and the unique tach/clock combo. One look in the engine bay, and you know youre going to want to show this one off. The tidy presentation and glossy gold fender walls are the kind of investments that make the bright motor look even better. Plus, they spent plenty rebuilding this numbers-matching 403 cubic-inch V8. The internals of the overhaul included a bored the engine, new pistons, full valve job, and a polished crank. Plus, they added a four-barrel carburetor, performance intake, MSD ignition, and ceramic coated headers that feed the sweet-sounding Borla dual exhaust. This is a coupe that youre going to want to show off everywhere, and so you have great driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan to help keep this running cool in all conditions.

Strong, powerful, and stunning, this is an upper-class Trans Am for someone who loves a distinct classic. Is that you? Call today!

Some people wanted to play Smokey and the Bandit when buying a black Pontiac in the late 1970s. But this is your chance to own something more than the movie star car in this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Its a genuine Special Edition car that has been expertly restored to look this fantastic and feel great right down to the A/C interior. Plus, it retains all the best original pieces, like the numbers-matching 400 V8, four-on-the-floor, WS6 suspension, and of course, T-tops. We could continue to make movie references about a black Trans Am with gold trim, but the simple fact is, these were so cool looking that they were destined to be legendary even without Hollywood. Never designed to be a subtle machine, the deep Starlight Black is the perfect outlaw, especially with the professional respray of this cars factory-correct color. It gives the dark paint the kind of luster that makes it look like a black mirror. More than just the paint, you are going to see quality all over this vehicle that comes from a comprehensive restoration. The factory body kit and Endura front bumper look fresh from the factory allowing this T/A to hold its head high at car shows. But what really makes this one really grab attention is all the gold trim that accents everything from the full-width rear spoiler to the iconic snowflake wheels. And because everyone expects the legendary hood bird to be the bold centerpiece, this one is as crisp as the day it left the Norwood factory. Inside is a selection of the ideal features. The T-tops are perfect for everything from displaying your T/A at car shows, to just letting everyone else notice the grin on your face when driving through town. On any hot day, the Camel tan cloth seats are the perfect pairing. With a large restoration budget, not only do the seats still look great, but so do the dash, door panels, and center console. The carpet even feels fresh! The driver gets to face iconic components like the Trans Ams special three-spoke steering wheel (w/power steering,) and the cool machined aluminum dash with the Rally gauge package. The original AM/FM/cassette stereo is still in place for period-correct fun, power windows and air conditioning. But your favorite part will be the option thats missing: the popular automatic transmission option. Thats right...even the Bandit didnt get the kind of powerband control that you have with the four-speed manual. With 400 cubic-inches under the hood, youll find very few people willing to call the big V8s block color baby blue. This is the original numbers-matching motor, and just like the rest of the car, there has been a significant investment keeping it looking factory fresh. Theres a heavy breathing four-barrel carburetor living under that shaker scoop. The full force of this sounds amazing as it leaves the dual exhaust. But dont just listen to the rumble; follow its path in the undercarriage photos. There youll see nothing but fresh components that really tell you how thorough this restoration was. Youll also spot the unmissable red of all the new polyurethane bushings that keep this one feeling as solid as day one. Plus, this T/A was ordered with the special WS6 handling package. It includes front & rear sway bars, a tighter steering box ratio, and four-wheel disc brakes. This option made the Trans Am the favorite of most automotive magazines back in the day, and the investments in this one keeps it a tight handler today. A car this significant need the right paperwork, and so amazing documentation comes with the sale. It includes the original dealer invoice, window sticker, bill of sale, owners manual, title documentation, and the factory buildsheet. We all love the look of these black with gold T/As but very few of us will ever have the opportunity at one this nice. Call now!

All the details continue to showcase this cars value. Leading the way is a special version of the screaming hood bird thats exclusive to these cars. Its wider than normal, and it helps set up the darker silver accent color that runs from the shaker hood, around the doors, and ends at the pinstripe behind the T-tops. Speaking of the pinstripe, this red and black dual line was part of the restoration. Its an expensive undertaking, but worth it considering they outline just about every detail on this coupe - including the wide wheel well flares, fender vents, and full-width rear spoiler that make this generation T/A look like it owns the road.

This is the car you always dreamed a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am could be. After all, it has a full bold red presentation inside and out, the right upgrades, and a freshly rebuilt 455 V8 under the hood done by a true performance master. The second-generation Trans Am was a seriously intimidating package. The wide ground effects in front of the wheel wells, integrated rear spoiler, and shaker hood all gives this a real presence on the streets. The updated front end for 79 was arguably the best. So when the dent-resistant Endura piece is as complete as this one, it gives the Firebird Trans Am an aggressive beak that perfectly complements the famous bird on the hood and B-pillars. It only gets better as this whole car looks like its breathing fire thanks to the blazing paintwork. Its the kind of bright red that helps grab attention away from the black Smokey and the Bandit replicas. In fact, this one reminds us a bit of another famous Burt Reynolds Pontiac. Remember the red Trans Am with chrome wheels from the movie Hooper? Yes, this one certainly looks the part from that speed demon stuntman flick. Just as that Pontiac was a famous for its surprise rocket power, this one also has hidden horsepower...but more on that in a minute. The fiery red attitude continues on the interior with the high-back bucket seats. Door panels, carpeting, and center console are all coordinating with this aggressive tone. But this is far from a sea of crimson. There are bright touches all around including the door handles, window cranks, and the three-spoke steering wheel. Of course, the most famous shining piece is the iconic machined aluminum inlay that covers the whole dash panel. There are modern components, too, including an AM/FM/CD stereo, provisions for R134a air conditioning, and all the gauges have been upgraded to Marshall units with a digital odometer. Underneath the hood is a seriously fresh presentation, and thats no accident. Youre looking at a V8 that is so new from its full rebuild that the new owner will be part of the break-in period. Because this is Charlotte, we can get our motors constructed by the same people who make the NASCAR race powerhouses. Not only is the new V8 solid, but its also larger than anything you could get in 79. This 455 cubic-inch motor with a four-barrel carburetor on top recalls the era of when Pontiac muscle cars had real muscle. Those long tube heads that feed the quad-tip dual exhaust really let the thunder roll. All this power is sent through a stout three-speed automatic transmission. The Trans Am was known to be one of the best handling American cars of its time, so that means power steering, sway bars front & rear, and front disc brakes. Plus, theres extra grip thanks to the modern Nitto NT555 performance tires riding on 17-inch American Racing alloy wheels. This is one fire-breathing T/A that finally has the performance to live up to its aggressive looks. Something this fresh and bold is not going to stay available for long. Call now!

There was just something a bit meaner about the 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. So you tend to take note when you find a one-owner car that has a terrific color combo, the right investments, its original V8, and those iconic T-tops. Theres something very cool about the factory-correct Nocturne Blue with all the light blue accents. After all, that war bird on the hood is as artful as it is intimidating. Plus, the widebody appearance is pure aggression the headlights are individually separated; there are large flares for each fender; and the spoiler covers from end-to-end across the rear. The designers really wanted to get this T/A back to the wide track look! And everyone loves the attitude that comes from the side scoops and the shaker hood. But take some time to enjoy the details, too, like the dual exhaust tips that exit below the rear marker lights on each side and the cool snowflake wheels that have a standout gold finish. Inside, this T/A has been given a terrific upgrade. The blue vinyl was replaced with a gray/blue velour. This kind of comfortable cloth is an especially nice on the days when T-tops are out and youre enjoying the sunshine inside. Plus, power windows, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, and an armrest center console continue this comfortable feeling. Youll slip into the bucket seat, adjust the tilt wheel to the cozy setting, and set off on any adventure in comfort. With the full instrumentation looking great set in the iconic and aggressive machine-turned instrument panel, every trip can be a bold one. The 4.9-liter V8 has an authentic appearance right down to the factory shaker hood that is just sooooo cool. This is the original power plant for the car, and the tidy appearance suggests plenty of the right investments. Make sure you take a closer look, because it gets even better. There are factory marking and decals throughout the engine bay and undercarriage for a true time-capsule style appearance. But more than just look cool when parked, this V8 T/A fires up nicely and makes great muscle car sounds out of the exhaust. The Trans Am has a reputation for not only being quick, but also as one of the best all-around handling sports cars of its day. This is from features like the front disc brakes and sway bars front & rear. Plus, this one has long-haul comfort thanks to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and power steering. Quite interesting, nicely invested, and an all-around stunner, this one-owner Trans Am is for those who like a different kind of bold. So if you want to stand out in all the best ways, call today!

Description 1979 Pontiac Trans Am History The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile built by Pontiac from the 1967 to the 2002 model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced in 1967, the same model year as GMs Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. Why This Car Is Special The Trans Am has established itself as a permanent American icon. Production volume testifies that the Second-Gen Firebird was most popular with consumers. The beautiful Black 1979 Pontiac Trans Am we have at Skyway Classics is a combination of beautiful styling, superb handling, and strong Pontiac V-8 performance that makes It highly coveted by collectors and performance traditionalists alike. Mechanical In an attempt to maintain the Trans Ams strong performance image, Pontiac managed to stockpile several thousand 400ci blocks to use as T/A 6.6 engines in the 79 Trans Am. A buying frenzy erupted as news of the 400s discontinuance spread throughout the information pipeline. Essentially a carryover from the previous year, the 79 code-PWH T/A 6.6 was assembled using a No. XX481988 400 block, which featured a 4.12-inch bore. Its bottom end was filled with a 3.75-inch stroke cast-iron crankshaft, while cast-aluminum pistons on cast-iron connecting rods filled the cylinders. A 60-psi oil pump dispersed lubricant, and resided within a baffled six-quart oil pan. A Special 800-cfm Rochester Quadrajet carburetor on a cast-iron four-barrel intake manifold feeds a custom set of headers routing spent gasses into a Y pipe and dual turbo mufflers before it exits out the Rear. The net result of the effort is a rating of 250 hp at 4,000 rpm and 320 lb/ft of torque at 2,800 rpm. Backing every T/A 6.6 engine throughout the 79 model year was an 11-inch clutch disc and pressure-plate assembly, and a Borg-Warner Super T10 four-speed manual transmission with a First-gear ratio of 2.43:1. Because the WS6 Suspension Package was required with the W72 Performance Package that year, all Firebirds equipped with the T/A 6.6 received a 10-bolt rear axle filled with a 3.23:1 ratio gear set, and new-for-the-year J65 rear disc brakes on either end. Interior Our 1979 TA great saddle tan Interior has buckets, with a center console, simulated leather-wrapped Formula steering wheel (color-keyed) and an engine-turned instrument panel inlay that completes the look. It also has the standard Rally Gauge cluster, which included both a clock and tachometer, power windows, air conditioning, and more. Exterior Our 79 model featured a freshly redesigned nose and tail sections, both molded from a new, softer plastic material (this also included the front and rear spoilers, as well as the wheel opening spoilers). The new nose piece sported quad headlamps recessed into individual tunnels, while the blacked-out split grilles were repositioned below the lamps; turn signal/running lamps were recessed into the grilles. The tail panel appeared to be one continuous blacked-out unit; it was actually a three-piece assembly, with the taillamp lenses flanking the centrally positioned fuel-filler door, cloaked in matching trim. Air extractors remained on the front fenders as they had since the 70 model, while T-tops and a new, updated version of the large gold Firebird hood decal is on our Car. Our Pontiac has specific springs and shock absorbers, stiffer suspension bushings, a constant-ratio steering box, a larger rear sway bar, and 15 8-inch aluminum Snowflake wheels with performance tires. Conclusion The 1979 Pontiac Trans Am we have at Skyway Classics has the looks, The performance, and the optional packages that make the Trans Am into what many already considered an excellent performer to exceptional, propelling it toward supercar status. Come see our 1979 Trans Am that could compete with virtually any new vehicle on American roadways then and now. So give us a call at 941-254-6608. We also finance!

A special hood and Formula graphics down the rocker panels. The view from the back is as good as they come.

Looking to expand its clientele, Pontiac decided to up the ante a bit by offering an F-Body with an optional Trans Am Performance and Appearance Package.By 1969 the Pontiac Firebird was a mere two years old and had debuted to moderate success. Ten years later the Trans Am had a large fan base. To commemorate that ten-year anniversary, Pontiac decided to offer its first Special Anniversary Trans Am. And when it was all said and done, they had assembled 7,500 of what fans call the silver car. Of those 7,500 Tenth Anniversary Editions, only 1,817 had the L78 6.6L 400ci V8 and the Borg Warner T-10 4-speed. Today this silver Screamin Chicken sits a true survivor with only 5,674 actual miles registering on its odometer. You would never guess that this Firebird is nearly 40 years old. The body looks absolutely stunning and is covered in the original two-tone paint. At the front of the body is a special massive screaming chicken decal that rests on the hood. Above the decal is the shaker hood that has the lettering T/A 6.6 on either side. On the roof you will find correct, mirrored T-tops. At the back of the car is a slick rear spoiler and more Trans Am badging. Pop the hood on this Firebird and youll be greeted by an original L78 6.6L 400ci V8. Due to emission standards, 1979 was the final year that Pontiac offered all of its larger displacement engines. Bolted to the 400 cubic inch Pontiac V8 is the original 4-speed Borg Warner Super T-10 transmission, which sends power to a 3.23 Posi-traction rear end. Spent gases travel down the original headers to and out the original dual exhaust. Power 4-wheel disc brakes are responsible for slowing the Firebird, while the entire car rides on special 15x8 cast aluminum wheels that have been wrapped in Goodyear Polysteel Radials. Open the door to this Trans Am and youll find a very well preserved silver leather interior that features firm bucket seats. This is where youll also see the odometer that reads 5,675 miles. You can view this 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am in greater detail including HD pictures and an HD video of it running and driving at Gatewayclassiccars.com.

The second-generation Pontiac Firebird was produced between 1970 and 1981 and saw some radical changes in power during the EPA influenced decade. In 1971, the legendary 455cid engine first became available in the Trans Am model. Output from the 455HO was rated at 335hp. The option was discontinued after 1976 for Trans Am and Formula models and by 1979, the best-selling year ever for the Trans Am, the 6.6 (400cid) power plant was restricted to 220hp.

With only 10,000 miles on a rebuilt and blueprinted 455 cubic inch V8, a four-speed manual transmission, and 3.73:1 gears, this Trans Am means business! You may have seen it featured on Pinks All Out a few years back and has since been treated to this stunning twisted copper colored 3M wrap that helps this car to stand out from the crowd.

The 455 big block packs a serious punch and is capable of keeping up with the best of them. If a little extra power is needed though, a 75 shot of nitrous awaits in the trunk and, with the simple press of a button, the close race turns into a Trans Am victory! The sub-frame connectors stiffen the body for much better cornering ability and the traction bars eliminate axle wrap and plant the power where it needs to be. The 3.73 gear ratio is an excellent cruising gear and makes the choice simpler when determining which car to take out for your weekend drive. The long tube headers, X-pipe and mufflers allow for easy breathing and a superior sound over stock.
