This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am is a project car with plenty of potential, combining the unmistakable styling of a late-1970s Trans Am with the added muscle of a 455 V8 Big Block under the hood. While this Trans AM needs substantial work, it is a great candidate for someone looking for a solid foundation to build into a standout classic. Best of all, it drives great and has recently received a new tune-up, water pump, and belts, giving the next owner a strong starting point for the project ahead.
Drivetrain
Under the hood sits a 455 V8 engine that is an upgrade from the original engine for the car. The engine runs and drives well, and the Trans Am has recently received a new tune-up, water pump, and belts. Power steering and power brakes provide added ease and confidence behind the wheel. The combination of big-block Pontiac power and the Trans Am's naturally aggressive personality make this an especially intriguing project for someone who wants to take it to the next level.
Exterior
The Trans AM is finished in a striking crimson metallic paint that gives the car a rich, dramatic appearance. The iconic Trans Am hood bird is beautifully decorated in autumn-inspired shades of tangerine, dusty rose, and nutmeg tan, creating a warm color palette that blends exceptionally well with the crimson body.
The unmistakable Trans Am bird emblems are proudly displayed on the sides, while the Trans Am name is prominently featured across the rear. The car retains its original Shaker hood, an essential part of the Trans Am's legendary muscle-car character.
Factory wheels are wrapped n P255/45ZR17 high-performance tires, giving the car a more modern stance while retaining its classic Trans Am identity.
.
Interior
Inside, the car retains its all-original crimson interior, continuing the exterior color theme throughout the cabin. The bucket seats are in good condition, as is the carpet, and the factory steering wheel remains in place.
The dashboard and its electrical functions are currently inoperative, so the interior will require attention as part of the restoration. For the right enthusiast, this provides an opportunity to restore and personalize the cabin while preserving its original Trans Am character.
Summary
This 1979 Trans Am is being offered honestly as a project car and will require considerable work, but it has the ingredients that make a project worth taking on. The car has the unmistakable Trans Am styling, original Shaker hood, attractive crimson metallic exterior, good-condition bucket seats and carpet, and importantly, a running and driving 455 V8.
For someone looking for a classic Pontiac to restore, improve, and make their own, this Trans AM offers a great starting point with serious muscle-car potential. It is not being presented as a finished show car-it is an opportunity to take a legendary American performance car and bring it back to the level it deserves. Even as the renovations continue, this Trans AM can still be driven and enjoyed, making it a project that offers both the satisfaction of restoration and the fun of getting behind the wheel along the way.
