1979 Pontiac Trans Am

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1979 Pontiac Trans Am was the most popular second‑generation F‑body, with over 117,000 sold. And while the Trans Am's starring role in "Smokey and the Bandit" two years prior certainly helped, its epic styling was a big factor.

Trans Am took the traditional long hood, short deck muscle car design, and turned it up to 11. A revised beak held four rectangular headlights, accentuating the shaker hood scoop. And the tail feathers were tweaked with a louvered black lens covered the lamps, making the integrated rear spoiler look even more sinister. Throw in a set of snowflake wheels and the unmistakable “screaming chicken” hood decal, and the result was one of the most menacing machines to ever cruise the boulevard. However, while the 400ci V8 was potent for its day, many find that the best way to enjoy a classic Trans Am today is with modern upgrades.

This Trans Am has them in spades: with fewer than 200 miles since completion, it has been refinished in Black, and enhanced with blacked-out headlights and custom 18" front, 19" rear wheels wearing performance tires. Inside, the black interior wears custom cloth upholstery, with aftermarket gauges in the factory cluster, a Hurst shifter in the custom console, and a tilt column featuring a classic-look steering wheel. There's even an ornamental CB radio to try until you can get your ears on — with the mic button doubling as the line lock switch!
