1979 Pontiac Firebird

Cruisin Classics is thrilled to present this stunning, low-mileage 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Fresh from a professional restofication, this second-generation icon boasts only 19,062 actual miles. It comes complete with its original build sheet, window sticker, and an extensive folder of component receipts. The builder carefully upgraded the vehicle to run and drive better than new while preserving its exceptional originality.Decoding the trim tag confirms its highly desirable factory specification: a Mayan Red Trans Am featuring a black interior, black cloth bucket seats, and Fisher T-tops. The car proudly retains roughly 70% of its original paint and its authentic screaming chicken hood decal. The striking exterior features a classic shaker hood, individual headlight buckets, front and rear wheel flares, and a brand-new set of 15-inch snowflake wheels wrapped in fresh, white-letter BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires.Beneath the hood, the original 4.9-liter engine has been replaced with a freshly rebuilt 1977 Pontiac 6.6-liter 400ci V8. This upgraded powerplant is enhanced with aluminum Edelbrock Performer D-Port heads, a Ram Air IV-spec Edelbrock cam, a Holley Brawler 4-barrel carburetor, and a Cold Case radiator. The beastly V8 is paired with a brand-new Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission, sending power to a 10-bolt limited-slip rear axle with 3.08 gears. This Trans Am rides on the legendary factory WS6 handling package, complete with power steering, a heavy-duty suspension, and much-needed four-wheel power disc brakes. Underneath, the immaculately clean, black-painted undercarriage features a new gas tank, fresh brake lines, and a 2.5-inch stainless steel Pypes X-pipe exhaust that emits an aggressive growl.Inside, the cabin looks like an absolute time capsule. The original black velour seats with hobnail inserts are in flawless condition, complemented by new black pile carpet and an immaculate, crack-free vinyl dash. The machine-turned aluminum gauge bezel houses fully functional factory gauges, a tachometer, and a working clock. A Hurst shifter commands the 5-speed gearbox. Premium functional amenities include the original AM/FM factory radio paired with a working power antenna, factory glass T-tops, and a carpeted trunk containing the mini-spare, jack, and original GM T-top storage bags.This high-quality, low-mileage second-generation Trans Am checks every single box for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
