Description of 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am |
| eBay template information@RKMotorsCharlotte. com 5527 Lakeview Road. Charlotte. NC. 28269. US 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition 8. 68 Actual Mile Trans Am 10th Anniversary 400 V8 4 Speed 3. 23 Posi WS6 Year: 1979 Type of vehicle title: Clear Primary color: Silver Mileage: 8668 Transmission type: 4 Speed Manual Engine: 400 V8 Interior color: Silver Vehicle info By 1969 the Pontiac Firebird was a mere two years old and had debuted to moderate success. 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. 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. 00 of what fans call 'the silver car'. Of those 7. 00 Tenth Anniversary Editions. only 1. 17 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 8. 88 actual miles registering on its odometer. Before we get too much further. let's take a look at the original build sheet to show just how highly optioned these special cars really were:AU3: Electric Door LocksA01 : All Tinted GlassA31: Power WindowsA51: Bucket SeatsA90: Power Deck LidBS1: Insulation PackageB18: IP Assist HandlingB37: Front & Rear Floor MatsB89: Black Reveal MoldingB97: Wheel SpoilersCC1: Hatch RoofCD4: Pulse Windshield WipersC49: Electric Rear DefoggerC60: Air ConditioningC95: Dome/Reading LampD34: Visor MirrorD35: Sport MirrorsD53: Hood DecalD55 Floor ConsoleD80: Rear SpoilerD92: Tape Deck StripeF41: Rear Stability BarGU5: 3. 23 Axle RatioG80: Posi-traction AxleJL1: Pedal TrimJ65: 4-wheel disc brakesK15: Fuel ReturnK81: 63-amp GeneratorL78: V8 400 4bblM21: 4-speed TransmissionNA5: Standard EmissionsNK3: Formula Steering WheelN33: Tilt Steering WheelN65: Space Saver Spare TireN90: Cast Aluminum WheelsQGR: P225/70R15LTRTR9: Lamp GroupTT5: Quartz LampsT93: Black Tail LampsUA1: Heavy Duty BatteryUN9: Radio SuppressionUP8: Standard Radio ProvisionsU05: Dual HornsU17 InstrumentationU25: Luggage Compartment LampU29: Courtesy LightU35: Electric ClockU75: Power AntennaU80: Dual Rear SpeakersWS4: Trans AmWS6: Special Performance PackageWV7: Charcoal GraphicsW72: Performance PackageYR1: Custom Front SeatsYS1 Custom Rear SeatsYT1: Custom Door Panels15L: Gray and Sliver Anniversary paintYou 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. The Silver lower paint is separated from the Charcoal upper paint by a small red accent line. At the front of the body is a special massive screaming chicken decal that rests on the hood. The black. white and red decal flows seamlessly with the standard silver and charcoal paint. Above the decal is the shaker hood that has the lettering T/A 6. 6 on either side. Behind the front tires you will also find Trans Am decals with special 10th anniversary badging. 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 you'll be greeted by an original L78 6. 6L 400ci V8. With just over 200 horsepower. this was and is still a wickedly fun car to drive. Due to emission standards. 1979 was the final year that Pontiac offered all of its larger displacement engines. Starting in 1980. the largest engine was the 305ci V8. 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 you'll find a very well preserved silver leather interior that features firm bucket seats. The Firebird logos are stitched into both door panels and in the rear bucket seats. An aluminum dash panel houses all the instrument gauges and the electronically tuned digital display AM/FM Stereo with an 8 track player. This is where you'll also see the odometer that reads 8. 88 miles. Power windows. power door locks. Soft Ray glass. custom seat belts. and an electric rear defroster are also present in the interior. The sale of this incredibly preserved Firebird Trans Am includes the aforementioned build sheet. an original owner's manual. an original maintenance schedule and original sale documentation. Ultimately Pontiac's decision to create a special ten year anniversary Firebird Trans Am was a true success. Pontiac sold over 116. 00 Firebird Trans Ams in 1979. which still stands today as the record. This special anniversary edition is an amazing time capsule that can still be enjoyed day in and day out. Don't miss your opportunity to bring home a very rare production car that pays tribute to the first generation Firebird Trans Am.
