1979 Pontiac Trans Am - 6.6L V8 - Automatic Survivor Car

For those who know the thrill of American muscle, the 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am represents an era when style and power coexisted in a symphony of unmistakable design and raw performance. This particular example is an embodiment of Pontiac's bold statement in automotive history—an original survivor that's been meticulously cared for, yet still exudes the rebellious spirit of a time when cars like these ruled the roads.

Dressed in its factory-correct Starlight Black paint, this Trans Am is nothing short of striking. The deep, glossy black finish—an icon in its own right—has been rejuvenated with a single professional repaint, ensuring it retains the factory-correct look that collectors demand. Accentuating the commanding black exterior are new SE gold decals that perfectly complement the car's heritage, including the legendary “Screaming Chicken” that sprawls across the Shaker hood, announcing its presence before the engine even turns over. Adding to its undeniable curb appeal, the car features a fresh set of gold 15x8 Snowflake wheels, a detail that takes this Trans Am to the next level of visual perfection.

Underneath that iconic hood lies the heart of the beast—a 6.6L K Code 403 V8. Known for its reliability and torque-heavy performance, this engine delivers the kind of power that Pontiac enthusiasts celebrate. Mated to the functional Shaker hood scoop, this V8 doesn't just look the part; it backs it up with that unmistakable rumble and acceleration that makes driving this car an experience like no other. Whether you're cruising the boulevard or stretching its legs on the open road, the sound of this engine reminds you of why the late '70s muscle cars still hold such reverence among enthusiasts.

Climbing into the cabin, you're greeted with the car's original black interior—another testament to the care this Trans Am has received over its lifetime. The seats, door panels, and dash remain in remarkable condition, reflecting the car's low mileage of just 44,083 original miles. This isn't just a car you look at—it's a car you feel. From the grip of the steering wheel to the placement of the gauges, every detail was designed with the driver in mind. And this Trans Am doesn't just excel in style; it's a factory-equipped WS4 car, featuring power windows, factory air conditioning, power steering, and power four-wheel disc brakes, all adding up to a driving experience that combines muscle car aggression with modern-day comfort.

What sets this car apart is its authenticity and its pedigree. With just three careful owners since new, it has been loved and preserved, ensuring its originality shines through while remaining ready for the road. Survivors like this are a rare breed, and with its history and documentation, this Trans Am becomes more than just a car—it becomes a piece of living history.

Owning a 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is about more than just the drive—it's about the story, the presence, and the connection to a time when cars were built to stand out. This example, with its Starlight Black finish, gold accents, original drivetrain, and low mileage, is as close as you can come to reliving that glorious chapter in automotive history. It's a machine that turns heads at every corner and brings smiles to anyone lucky enough to sit behind the wheel. From its unmistakable roar to its flawless lines, this Trans Am is ready for its next chapter with a new owner who understands and appreciates its significance. This isn't just another car; it's a dream that has stood the test of time.
