Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. This silver exterior 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am represents a milestone in Pontiac history as part of the 10 year anniversary celebration of the Trans Am nameplate. Its matching silver vinyl interior complements the distinctive styling that defined the era, while the 403 CID V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission delivers the classic character expected from this iconic model. The anniversary year helped cement the Trans Am's reputation, making 1979 one of the most recognizable and celebrated chapters in its history.The driving environment includes air conditioning, cruise control, power steering, power brakes, power windows, and power locks for everyday usability. Additional features include a tilt steering wheel, AM FM radio with Bluetooth capability, seatbelts, radial tires, and removable T tops that add open air enjoyment. These features reflect the blend of comfort and style that made the Trans Am a standout during its anniversary year.Mechanical and functional updates contribute to improved operation and drivability. The Holley Sniper EFI system provides more precise fuel metering than a traditional carburetor, supporting smoother throttle response and consistent performance. An X pipe exhaust configuration improves exhaust flow balance, aiding efficient engine breathing. The air conditioning system has been addressed with a newer compressor and fresh hoses to support reliable operation. Front and rear shocks have been replaced to support controlled handling characteristics, and the front and rear brakes along with the calipers have also been replaced to maintain proper braking function.Additional updates include fresh weather stripping throughout to help with sealing and cabin comfort. LED headlights and turn signals have been installed to provide brighter illumination and quicker response compared to traditional bulbs. All work performed since 2022 has been completed by Doc Holliday Performance, and the transmission was rebuilt in 2013. This Trans Am is accompanied by PHS documentation from the Pontiac Historical Society, adding historical context and supporting its place as a genuine 10 year anniversary example.
