In the tumultuous era of the Seventies, marked by federal regulations and oil embargos, Pontiac stood firm as a bastion of performance. While other muscle cars faded into obscurity, the Trans Am emerged as a resilient survivor. This trend persisted into 1979, as the second-generation Firebird received its final facelift and continued to offer the potent 6.6-liter powerplant,” as noted by Hemmings. Presenting a striking example of this enduring legacy is this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, resplendent in its original Mayan Red hue complemented by Carmine Red velour interior. Beneath its hood resides the legendary 400 cubic inch L78 motor, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission—a configuration that promises exhilarating performance. Believed to have accumulated just over 20,000 miles, this exceptional vehicle was acquired by our client in 2012, with the odometer displaying 17,000 miles. The Mayan Red paint exudes a captivating sheen, albeit bearing minor imperfections on the trunk lid and rear spoiler. Adorned with the iconic “screaming chicken” atop its shaker hood, the exterior commands attention. Step inside to be greeted by Carmine Red velour upholstery, impeccably preserved to resemble new. The dash and plastics exhibit no signs of wear, with all gauges functioning flawlessly. With a swift turn of the key, this Trans Am roars to life, delivering a driving experience reminiscent of its debut at Packer Pontiac dealership in Pontiac, Michigan, back in 1979.
