This is the final video covering the restoration of a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am by Area 52 Restorations in Troy, IL. I know that many of you have been waiting to see it's completion and that day has finally arrived. I'm really impressed with how the car turned out in the end. Personally, I think it might be the nicest Trans Am that I've seen. I hope you find it interesting as well. Thanks for watching and commenting!

This candy red TA is a sharp car . Love the color . I owned a 79 . Purchased the car new when I was 18 and wish I had today.

Same here, joined the army to get a new silver 79. Had the 403 though, didn't know at the time.

Nice car. In Jan 1979, I was 22 years old, and I bought a new black on black 400, WS6 Trans Am. I had ordered a Z28 Camaro, and I waited almost four months, and it never arrived. So the sales guy told me they had a Firebird that was four speed with the T-top, which is what I had ordered on the Z28. I saw it, I drove it, and bought it, not knowing I got one of the last 400 Pontiac engines. I still have it. I recently got it restored and it looks like it did when I bought it one month shy of 42 years ago. Plan to keep it and eventually pass it on to my son.

@wisdomseeker3362 3 года назад

That's awesome ❗ You should post a video for us . Wonderful sentiment to pass it on to your son.💓

@@RamblinAround My mother bought a Berlinetta in 1979 brand new off of the showroom floor and on the way home to Semmes, Alabama about 10 miles from the dealership, it started smoking out of the tailpipe! Well, she was upset, called the dealership back and decided on a brand new red Pontiac Firebird. 5 miles on it! She loved that car❗ I was 13 at the time and I remember her coming home(late) with the radio blasting❗lol. Hope you didn't mind my too long of a reply.

That gold bird and decals look damn good against that Candy paint color. My 79 is Atlantis blue and was special ordered with the gold bird and decals ( most have light blue birds) love the 79's. Great handling cars. Want attention drive a Trans am !👍

It's Candy Brandywine (House of Kolor), sprayed over a Zenith Gold base.

@valricogarcia 9 месяцев назад

This car is a stunner. Love how they integrated all the gold pinstriping from a black SE on to this red car. Looks really great. It's giving me some ideas.... ;-)

@kingdave77 9 лет назад

I used to own a '79 Firebird Esprit Redbird... it only had a wimpy little 301, but it was a real head turner. I miss that car. I should never have gotten rid of it. This car, right here, is my dream car.

@SolidDankGaming 12 лет назад

We had a period where these cars really weren't appreciated and I saw a lot of them falling on the wayside. It's good to see that some have survived. The original Camero/Trans Ams of that period had problems from the factory. A good restoration of one really makes it better than when if was original.

@dm1927 11 лет назад

I bought a new 1979 back in the day, Always love the car got rear ended in 1981 and totaled my baby. Your 79 is one of the most gorgeous Trans Am I have ever seen, You guys did a amazing job on it. Enjoy it, thanks for sharing.....

@kevinhouston38 Год назад

Nice car, love the outside. Had a 80 with the Recaro option done in dove grey and burgundy, Always wanted to paint in Brandy-wine with crushed diamonds added to the paint. Saw a C3 Vette painted that way, when the sun hit by the sun it would leave you speechless. Treasure it man it is a Beauty.

@chritian73 12 лет назад

pontiac never make it that nice , thumbs up. this deserve an award good work ! its a good thing to keep it original look , the bird need to be there otherwise it look like a plain firebird with air scoop ,these car been my dream car since i was 5 years old , ,, still today " at 38 i just cant get sick off it ,,, this one is a reel beaty !!!

@markcheetah4960 5 лет назад

I dunno... I had a 1979 Firebird with the exact same radio and it did NOT sound good. Then again, with a showroom quality automobile like this you might not be putting a lot of miles on it & it's all about looks
