This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is finished in Platinum over black and is powered by a 403ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was delivered new to Vince Paterno Pontiac GMC of Charleston, West Virginia, and was acquired by the current owner in September 2012. Features include the WS6 Performance and Handling Package, four-wheel power disc brakes, removable T-top roof panels, a rear defroster, air conditioning, a rear spoiler, a shaker hood, Trans Am decals, 15″ snowflake wheels, and a Delco 8-track AM/FM Stereo.
The car is finished in Platinum and features removable T-top roof panels, drip rails, a power antenna, a “screaming chicken” hood decal, a shaker hood, front and rear spoilers, and quad angled exhaust tips.
The silver 15×8″ snowflake-style wheels feature Trans Am center caps and wear 225/70 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. A space-saver spare tire is located in the carpeted trunk compartment. The vehicle is equipped with the WS6 Performance Package, which included power four-wheel disc brakes, a quick-ratio steering box, and a larger sway bar.
The cabin features black vinyl bucket seats joined by a matching dash, door panels, carpet, and floor mats. Interior equipment includes air conditioning, a Delco 8-Track AM/FM Stereo, optional door handle ornamentation, and the pedal trim package.
The three-spoke formula steering wheel sits ahead of an engine-turned instrument panel with a 100-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 5,600 miles.
The 403ci V8 was factory rated at 185 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip differential. Flowmaster mufflers are installed. The seller notes that the transmission pan gasket was replaced.
