Classic Car Overview
This Trans Am stands as a true collectors piece, preserved in remarkable condition and priced accordingly. Finished in Atlantis Blue with the matching blue Screaming Chicken hood decal, the car captures everything that made late-70s Pontiac styling so iconic - muscular lines, shaker hood, and unmistakable road presence.
Under the hood rests the factory 6.6-liter V8, paired to an automatic transmission, delivering the torque-rich, smooth performance that made the Trans Am a staple of American roads and silver screens alike. The original interior remains a time capsule of late-70s design - blue vinyl upholstery, machine-turned dash trim, and the signature three-spoke Formula steering wheel all remain untouched and well-preserved.
With no aftermarket modifications, this Trans Am offers a genuine glimpse into 1979 factory originality, right down to the period-correct details that collectors value most. From the iconic snowflake wheels to the detailed bird graphics and hood lettering, its a rolling reminder of Pontiacs flair for performance and personality - even in an era of change.
This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am represents more than just a car; its an artifact of American automotive identity - a preserved piece of history from when horsepower met attitude and style met substance.
