“79” Trans Am 403

The Seventies almost wrote off horse power in sport cars because of the federal regulations and two oil embargos. but even as the muscle era dispersed into a vast sea of personal luxury coupes and compact commuters. performance lived on at Pontiac. By mid-decade. it had become apparent that the Trans Am was the sole survivor. Even in the brief period sandwiched between the demise of the Super Duty after 1974 and Burt Reynolds's silver-screen endorsement of the top-tier Firebird. sales of the Trans Am were on the rise; after the world met the Bandit. they exploded. The trend continued for 1979. when the second-generation Firebird concurrently received its last facelift and spent its last year with available 6. 6-liter power.

Today. the '79 Trans Am models. have become prized among collectors for their combination of styling. power and affordability. which is bolstered by a healthy aftermarket parts supply that keeps them prowling the pavement.

 The Engine:

This engine is the 403-cu. in. V-8 (RPO L80). which had also already seen use in California-bound Trans Ams (and some Formulas) since the 1977 model year and automatic. It features a 4. 351 x 3. 385-inch bore and stroke. "4A" cast-iron heads with 2. 00/1. 55-inch intake/exhaust valves. hydraulic lifters and a Rochester Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor. the 7. 9:1 compression engine with a rating of 185hp and 315-lbs ft of torque.

Trans Ams came equipped with a standard 403-cu in rated for 185hp. It was an incredible bang for the buck in its day which further solidified when contemporary road tests revealed that the Pontiac fell just a few ticks short of the Corvette in acceleration. and actually outperformed the 'Vette in braking by 19 feet.

 The Car:

 This car has been well cared for and loved all its life with a clean interior and strong pulling engine. Clean Car Fax and pleasure driven only showing 69. 88 miles.

Car comes with original owner's manual. 2 set of keys and car cover. It's a car that drives incredibly well. starts right up and puts a smile on your face every time you drive it and a head turner with its like new paint and blemish free body. Car also has modern retro radio.

I would love to keep this car but I have other sport cars and need the room and would like to find a good home for it. Good luck with the bidding!
