This Pontiac Firebird (1970-1981) got away, but there are more like it here.

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Bid to $13,500 on 3/5/21

This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was acquired by the seller in 2006, and a subsequent refurbishment included refinishing the car in Canary Yellow. It has a saddle interior, and power is from a 403ci V8 paired with a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission. Features include a shaker hood, 15″ turbine wheels, glass T-tops, and air conditioning. Work performed during current ownership is said to have included an engine rebuild and the installation of an Edelbrock intake. This Trans Am is now offered with the removed intake, T-top covers, spare parts, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.

The car was refinished in Canary Yellow during current ownership and is fitted with a front bra, a shaker hood, a Trans Am hood decal, fender vents, a T-top roof with removable glass panels, a decklid spoiler, and louvered taillights. The driver’s door is dinged, there is a scratch on the passenger’s door, and damage is present on the front bumper near the driver-side headlamp. Spare fenders are included in the sale.

American Racing 15″ turbine wheels feature body-color pockets and wear Grand Prix Performance GT tires.

The cabin features seats upholstered in saddle vinyl with matching door panels and carpets. Equipment includes air conditioning, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, an equalizer, power windows and locks, and a center console with custom upholstery. The blower fan does not work on the highest fan speed, and the stereo selector switch is stuck on “cassette.”

The engine-turned instrument panel houses a 100-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an integrated clock, and gauges for water temperature, voltage, fuel level, and oil pressure, the latter of which does not work. A spare dashboard bezel is included in the sale. The five-digit odometer shows 1k miles, and true mileage is unknown.

The 403ci L80 V8 was reportedly rebuilt approximately 2k miles ago in 2006 and is equipped with an Edelbrock intake and and valve covers. The stock intake is included in the sale, along with a spare air conditioning unit.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed TH350 automatic transmission. The seller notes a leak from the front transmission seal.
