Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am! The 1979 Trans Am stands as one of the most recognizable icons of the late-'70s muscle era, combining bold styling, aggressive stance, and Pontiac's unmistakable performance character. With its updated front-end design and enduring "Screaming Chicken" graphics, the '79 model year remains a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This 1979 Trans Am is finished in metallic gray with a vivid blue hood bird. The current owner states the car retains its original body panels, and the vehicle presents as a solid example overall. Recent updates include new 17-inch wheels and tires that enhance both grip and appearance, along with a new windshield, new seat covers, and new carpet, refreshing the cabin while preserving the classic black interior and its signature machine-turned dash bezel.
Power comes from the original 403ci V8 (per the owner), a torque-rich engine known for its smooth, reliable operation. It's paired to a 400-series automatic transmission that delivers steady and consistent shifting. This Trans Am also features 3.08 posi-traction rear gears, offering balanced acceleration and comfortable highway manners. The posi unit improves traction by powering both rear wheels-especially beneficial during spirited driving or low-traction situations. The TA 6.6 shaker scoop remains in place, channeling cooler air toward the intake for more consistent performance. The odometer shows approximately 83,504 miles.
Features include: power steering, power brakes, bucket seats, center console, AM/FM audio, tinted glass, updated wheels and tires, and posi-traction rear axle.
