Looking for some classic muscle with a modern twist? This 1979 Pontiac Firebird is just that, packing a modern, fuel-injected V8 under the hood and combining it with killer Pontiac styling. Powered by an 6-liter, LQ-9 Chevy LS V8 breathing with electronic fuel injection, this '79 Firebird is seriously quick. Torque is put to the pavement through a reliable 3-speed automatic transmission, allowing for seamless shifting and a smooth ride. The exterior looks fantastic finished in a deep gloss black with accenting gold decals, all laid out over a straight body and a rock-solid undercarriage. Opening the twin doors reveals a good-looking tan cloth interior complete with comfy bucket seats, good for both going fast and for long-distance cruising. There are plenty of options on this '79 Firebird, including power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, an aluminum radiator, fuel injection, a tilt steering column, factory gauges and tachometer, an aux. temp gauge, factory T-Tops, a full center console, an aftermarket Pioneer AM/FM/CD/Aux stereo unit, and a sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on fat Riken black wall tires over 17" Pontiac "Snowflake"-style wheels for a classic Trans-Am appearance! This '79 Pontiac runs and drives like a dream, and it starts up every time with that fuel-injected V8. The car does have a rebuilt title from some time ago, and we're not sure why as the car runs and drives wonderfully and is very solid all around. With a color scheme like this one, this Firebird won't last long in our showroom, so don't let it pass you by!
