The Pontiac Firebird was designed between 1967 and 2002 by the Pontiac division from General Motors. The Firebird was introduced in the same year as the model for sharing car manufacturer platforms, like the Chevrolet Camaro. The first generation was in production between 1967 and 1969. The second generation was built from 1970 through 1981. The new front with four square headlights was the most important innovation for the Firebird from 1977, as the engine choices became more and more complex. It was also the year the Trans Am established itself as the car of the 1970s, when Burt Reynolds drove a black and gold special edition in the hit movie Smokey and the Bandit.

Pontiac put a new nose on the Firebird in 1979 with the four rectangular headlamps with their own housing and the lower split grille. The rear was also redesigned with blackout panels over the Formula and Trans Am taillights. The '79 Trans Am was nearly identical to the '78. It was also the last year for the beloved 403 cubic inch V8. That year, a special silver 10-year anniversary edition of the Trans Am was sold.

This Trans Am is a beautiful original example. The Atlantis Blue paint is in a very neat and well-preserved original condition. The same goes for the optional custom velor interior. There are many options available with the car. The complete list of options is available on the 1979 purchase invoice.

Air conditioning applies here. This was a very expensive option at the time and therefore popular. The same goes for the Special Performance Package. This includes options such as; 4 disc brakes, wheels and a Special Handling Package (WS6).

Car and Driver magazine named the Trans Am with the WS6 performance package the best driving car of 1979. During the bench testing period, the National Hot Rod Association rated the "T/A 6.6" W72 Pontiac 400 engine at 260-280 net horsepower, which was significantly higher than Pontiac's conservative 220 horsepower rating.

Electric windows were also an option. All of these options added up to over $2,100.

The Trans Am is very rich in original documentation. The original purchase invoice with the complete option list is present. In addition, there are also the associated original manuals, papers and all maintenance invoices. In short, a folder full of documentation.
