1979 Pontiac Firebirds

The 1979 Firebird was revamped this year with a new aerodynamic front end and a breath-taking full width tail lamp treatment. This was the most popular Firebird in history with 211,453 sold, a record that would never be broken by any other Firebird. The muscle car era debatably ended this year with the last of the big block V-8s being offered in a small car line. The Oldsmobile 403 was standard in the Trans Am and the last of the Pontiac 400 blocks were installed in 8346 cars.
"Announcing the birth of a whole new breed of wow! The 1979 Firebirds. Trans Am, our ultimate, comes on stronger than ever in its eleventh year. With a brand new forefront cast in durable urethane. Ported headlamps. And a brand new exclusive black tail treatment that runs the width of the rear deck. Trans Am's new visage doesn't just hint at its top-of-the-line position. It shouts it!
