"Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present this time-capsule 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, an exceptionally original example that embodies the end of an unforgettable era in American performance.
This Trans Am stands as a true collector's piece, preserved in remarkable condition and priced accordingly. Finished in Atlantis Blue with the matching blue ""Screaming Chicken"" hood decal, the car captures everything that made late-'70s Pontiac styling so iconic - muscular lines, shaker hood, and unmistakable road presence.
Under the hood rests the factory 6.6-liter V8, paired to an automatic transmission, delivering the torque-rich, smooth performance that made the Trans Am a staple of American roads and silver screens alike. The original interior remains a time capsule of late-'70s design - blue vinyl upholstery, machine-turned dash trim, and the signature three-spoke Formula steering wheel all remain untouched and well-preserved.
With no aftermarket modifications, this Trans Am offers a genuine glimpse into 1979 factory originality, right down to the period-correct details that collectors value most. From the iconic snowflake wheels to the detailed bird graphics and hood lettering, it's a rolling reminder of Pontiac's flair for performance and personality - even in an era of change.
This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am represents more than just a car; it's an artifact of American automotive identity - a preserved piece of history from when horsepower met attitude and style met substance.
This 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am can be seen in detail - including 100+ HD pictures and video - at GatewayClassicCars.com. This vehicle can be seen at the St. Louis Showroom located at 1237 Central Park Drive, O'Fallon IL 62269.
