Description:

A distinct exterior and an A/C interior make for the kind of 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that you'll love to cruise. But what's truly irresistible is how they upgraded this one with a power-built 455 V8 to create the rumbling T/A you've always wanted.<br><br>

The Burnt Orange paint really commands your attention. After all, it looks like they mixed together popular colors like red and gold to get a distinct hue that also has some serious flair. And the way the metallic element radiates to show off a newer application. While the paint is unique, you also still have all the best Trans Am performance pieces you love, like the shaker-style hood, sport body kit, full-width rear spoiler, and big hood bird. Plus, this one hints that there's more customization beyond the color with sporty upgrades like the large dual exhaust tips and 3rd-gen GTA-style wheels.<br><br>

The interior is built for both added comfort and performance. It's hard to tell that black was an upgrade later in life because it looks clean, complete, and stock in the fundamentals like the carpeting, door panels, and upholstery. There are nice premium features like power windows, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with USB input, and cold-blowing air conditioning. It's an engaging driver's car with a Grant sports steering wheel on a tilt column, AutoMeter Pro-Comp auxiliary readouts, a Hurst dual gate shifter, and an iconic Pontiac hood tach.<br><br>

Under the hood is the kind of power that makes Pontiac fans excited. The shaker top may say 6.6/400ci, but this one is actually running the larger and legendary 455 cubic-inch displacement. And we have the build receipts showing thousands $$$$ invested to rebuild this powerhouse in 2019. It includes forged sealed power pistons, moly rings, a roller timing chain, a Comps Cam camshaft, and Comp Cams lifters. This inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with plenty of power and authority as long tube headers feed an X-pipe dual exhaust. There are even good supporting components like an aluminum radiator, an HEI distributor, and MSD 6AL ignition. It's a strong and eager powerhouse that's part of an overall nice driving package. The power steering, power brakes, front discs, and sway bars make for a nice driver. And the upgraded 200-4R transmission means you even have overdrive.<br><br>

The colors, the features, and the overall style make this one awesome. You may feel like adding new tires or upgrading the window tint, but that's more about dialing-in your style and tastes to an already impressive package. So if you've been dreaming about having this era T/A upgraded with terrific power and poise, you know you need to call today!
