She fired right up and performed awesomely on our test track. Slipping into this car was a time capsule ride harkening back to the Smokey and the Bandit days of the late 70's. Independent coil spring suspension for the front, and leaf springs for the back, as well as power disc brakes all around.
Surface rust is contained to the usual suspects (driveshaft, suspension and slightly on the framing) while tubs and rockers are in excellent condition. Some patina, some surface rust, but all structurally sound in its construction and framing. On the back a 10-bolt 3.23 posi rear axle putting power to the ground.

Excellent carpeting in gray floods all floors and the trunk has a custom carpeted liner with a black phoenix pattern inserted in it.Īll numbers matching for this anniversary, in the form of a T/A 6.6 Pontiac 400ci V8 with a single 4bbl on top (Rochester Q Jet), and a Borg Warner Super T-10 4-speed manual tranny also numbers matching.

79 firebird windows#
Swinging the long doors and getting it is difficult to just not stop and stare at the shiny silver smooth vinyl door panels showing power windows and a side view mirror toggle. Add on some louvers for the rear glass, and we are more than good to go…like hell! A shaker hood with the scoop is looking out through the hole in the hood badged TA 6.6. Up top it features silver tinted glass for the removable “T” top and all trimmings for the windows are in black. All fender flaring, neoprene bumpers are slightly darker (Dark Charcoal) and a rear spoiler looks fab with no faults in the gaps or paint. It will stand out in a crowd, and with a black and shades of gray with red accenting screaming chicken decal, silver badging and polished turbine style wheels we have a first-place winner. Complete with the oversized “screaming chicken” on the hood that was only available on the 10th anniversary T/A's, and all nicely preserved we give you the Platinum Poly edition of the 10th anniversary rollout, and the last gasp of muscle car freedom for the 1970's.Ĭode 15L/16U Platinum Poly and Dark Charcoal bathes the exterior of this 15,363 original mile car. The Trans Am was the pumped-up, V-8-powered model.įor consignment not as 'loud' as the Gold Special Edition Trans Am, and not quite as menacing as the Black Special Edition Trans Am, this Silver 10th Anniversary car combines a typical Pontiac attitude with a refined look that was way ahead of its time. 2002 was the final year of production for Pontiac's iconic but dated speed machine. The F-body platform on which it and the Camaro were based, however, was arguably well past its prime by the early 2000s.
Like it's pony-car competitors, the rear-wheel-drive Firebird offered tire-smoking power and impressive acceleration. The car combined an available big V-8 with aggressive, attention-grabbing styling and delivered it in a relatively practical four-passenger package. The sporty Firebird was Pontiac's answer to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.
