1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

1979 Pontiac Trans Am Description

This Pontiac Trans Am for sale has gone through a lot of overhaul this past year. I purchased this vehicle a year ago from someone selling it locally. Before I purchased the vehicle I was told that it had sat for the past 12 years. This vehicle had bad suspension, a leaking exhaust manifold, and a rough looking interior. This car is now almost perfect with only minor details stopping it from being a solid 100%.

This is a numbers matching car with the original build sheet included. The reason I am selling this vehicle is because I’m moving overseas and it doesn’t make sense for me to keep it here in the U.S. The reserve is set at $10,000.00 and although I do not provide shipping I can help the buyer with any arrangements for pickup.

Items worth noting:

This car is equipped with power locks, however the switches were left out of the door panels for a clean look. Switches are included if the new owner wishes to install them.

This car has factory A/C, but the A/C is not currently functioning

There is a sound from the brake pedal when it is pressed all the way to the floor as if there were a vacuum leak. The local brake shop checked it out and I was told that this sometimes happens in older vehicles. The brake booster was replaced for good measure and the noise continues, but the brakes still work just as they always have.

There are minor dents and paint flaws when viewing the vehicle up close, along with some interior panel cracking on the dash and rear passenger panel (all are pictured).

All of these things are minor and easy fixes and this car is easily a few minor fixes away from being a $30,000 show vehicle. I have personally invested $10,000 in parts and labor and I would not consider selling it if I would not be moving overseas.

This beautiful Trans Am starts right up every time and this vehicle is reliable enough to be a daily driver if you’d want it to be. As stated this is a clean numbers matching example of what a muscle car should be. I still have many of the original interior parts that are all included in the sale. If you have any questions feel free to message me and thanks for looking!
