I ordered a new '79 Trans Am WS6 in the Fall of 1978. Cameo White with Saddle Tan custom interior. Out the door I paid just o over $8,400.00. Had power windows, locks, rear defogger, tilt wheel, power trunk, floor mats, map light, air conditioning, T-Tops. I added 1974 dual exhaust pipes, jetted the Quadra-Jet carburetor one size larger on the primary jets. Then I fabricated a functional vacuum operated air door for the shaker with a stainless steel spool valve to operate the air door. Kept the car for nine years, and sold it in the fall of 1987 to buy a larger family car.

@gregepperson1793
@gregepperson1793 4 месяца назад
handles like no other is a gross understatement! I had this same exact car in high school as a 17 year old... it made me a fucking legend in my own time... every guy wanted to be my friend and every chick wanted to be seen in my car!!! all I know is later in life I had a 2002 WS6 , 6 speed LS1 monster and my 79 would handle much better than the 2002 model. The 79 always felt like it was on rails and glued to the road.... the 2002 felt like it could leave the road at any moment if you pushed it too far.. the 02' was much faster of course but the 79 would give the 02 fits around a curvy road...

Has to be my favorite car of all time. Like many, I had the poster on my wall. (A genuine Pontiac promotional poster as my dad sold new Pontiacs) In 1982, my rich best friend’s older sister drove a ‘79 heritage brown Trans Am. I got a ride in it once. Of course, by then I only had eyes for the sleek new ‘82 Trans Am

With all due respect, I think your off on your assement of the original price with the WS6 option I purchased a 79 WS6 400 equipped black model and with tax and title out the door It was 6800.00. Granted mine did not have T- Tops or the hobnail cloth but still..... .
@scottsatren9796
@scottsatren9796 7 лет назад
He is about right, note he is quoting the list price not the negotiated purchase price, add all the options on this car, they add up fast. The 10th anniversary package added another 3000.00 on top of that which made it the first pony car to surpass the 10,000.00 mark. I graduated high school in 1979 & placed my order in March 78 only to be told at that time they were running low on the 400/4spds & the only way I could get it was if I ordered the 10th Anniversary which was just over 13,000.00 & all of those were only available as full option cars only. I had to have the 400 but their was no way I could swing the extra money. Sadly I ended up ordering a 4spd Z28 & I paid 7800.00 which was less then the list price & the T/A had more options to choose from & was more expensive then the Z28 to begin with. None the less this is a beautiful T/A.

I had a 79' black on black 403. I loved that car! True story- Midwest...had the car covered all winter...1st sunny day...no shoe's...didn't take the time to get my wallet ..pulled over by a cop down a two lane road close by that is deserted for the most part...speeding well above the limit. First words out of his mouth were "nice car" 1st words out of my mouth were " it's for sale"...he didnt give me a ticket for anything...followed me home and called me the next day...I hadn't given him my ph#...he had a black vet... me in the back seat and him driving his son shotgun went speeding down the same stretch of road . me to his son..."this is where your father pulled me over". To this day I cant remember why i sold it. I miss by car.

That was the original color of my 79 hardtop. It was an Olds 403 auto. I later rebuilt / modified the 403 & put a Muncie 4 speed behind it & it ran like a scalded dog!! Until the power overtook the car & began destroying it little by little , even being frame tied didn't help it. It destroyed the front leaf mounts & basically ruined the car. I cut it up & what's left ( minus the subframe & engine of course ) is setting in the back of my dump truck waiting to be recycled. It was fun while it lasted...

@MarkRoberts-bj2me 8 лет назад
The gentleman in the above vid is almost exactly correct when he lists the options it takes to own one of the best of the best '79 Trans Ams. The 400 cubic inch Pontiac engine with the number matching Borg Warner four-speed transmission is absolutely essential. The decal located on the shaker hood identifies what kind of motor is under the hood. The vast majority of 79's came with a 403 Olds engine and automatic transmission. A few TA's were manufactured with an even smaller engine. Pontiac ran out of the 400's during the '79 model run. Those that have them own one of the last true muscle cars.The WS6 performance package is essential. The four wheel disc brakes were quite futuristic in '79 and the fat, gold honeycomb wheels are gorgeous. The option was popular with Pontiac again being caught short. During the model run Pontiac began offering a package that had only two disc brakes. The decals on the chrome door handles that say "Four Wheel Disc" identifies the car as having the WS6 package as do the honeycomb wheels. Factory installed Fisher T-Tops, another must have option. The '79 is a helluva lot of fun to drive with them on, but take them off and the exhilaration level is ratcheted upward.The cloth hobnail seats look luxurious and are extremely comfortable. I personally would not have purchased a '79 without them.Where we begin to differ is the inclusion of the CB Radio. You wanna play Smokey and the Bandit fine. Get yourself a "Bandit" model TA. Also there is some aftermarket Bandit pin-striping added to the car which detracts, IMHO, from the awesome lines of the vehicle.He may very well own a one off color combination. First of all, Heritage Brown was the least popular color in '79. This TA aficionado is surprised the factory even allowed this car to have a black interior. If it was equipped with the proper camel interior it would be a fine looking automobile since the interior would then compliment the decal package.In case anyone is wondering, I own the Pontiac Poster Car for 1979, a nocturne blue with camel hobnail interior, 400 Pontiac engine with the WS6 package and Fisher T-Tops along with all the rest of the toys one could order. Mine is equipped with a factory original Delco AM-FM Stereo Radio & Cassette Player. No "Breaker Breaker" for me.

when I was in my mid teens a buddy of mine had this exact same car but in black. ran like hell till the day it blew up. it didn't knock or chatter.it blew up on our way to the drag strip to sit and watch!!! he had babied this car. we went on youth group meetings at our church in it. it left him and my self wondering what went wrong when it blew up. it can not be said anything but factory error today. this car was never abused, it was treated well. the old saying I wouldn't chain a hound dog to the mains of a Pontiac rings in my ears. I wish I had purchased the car from him and put a strong stroker chevy motor in it. he had it pin striped locally and that car was the talk of the town. he almost gave that car away at the time.

79,80 and 81 are the same and the last of the old style Trans am. use to have a 79 Esprit and a 81 Trans am sure miss them. my 79 was the same color as your car but had the wood style dash board and tan interior with a hard top. also had a 327 with a 400 turbo hydramatic transmission, I got clocked at a 160 mph. well racing a 73 Camaro with a small block 400 we couldn't pass each other. lol My 81 TA was gold with tan interior and had a 305 block with aa 350 transmission all stock she was a classy car but wasn't meant for to much power. With yours I am surprised that you haven't popped your T-roof yet. having to much power with a T-roof usually bends the frame and pops the T-roof out so they don't fit properly and causes them to leak. definitely love your car though, never get rid of it if you can help it. I think if I ever get another Bird it will be a 68 firebird. I love the style. I think the best style of the Birds are from 1967 to 1981 they seem to have the best body style after that they came out with the hatch back Knight rider car,

Sweet car, shame someone cut the dash to change the stereo. I still rock the factory cassette deck in my 87 Trans AM GTA.

This car was a home run for Pontiac. and even more so, a home run for Detroit.

I really love this car , and yea , its the one you want. T-tops , 4 wheel disc breaks , fat sway bars , of course T/A 6.6 / 4 speed. You have everything in it. Id even use the CB radio on long drives. 1979 looks way better than the '77. you lucky guy ! Does it also have the rear window defroster ? that's the only option I can think of on that year.

You could get rear disc brakes in a 1969 Camaro. I never did like the TA, so in 1977,78 and 80, I ordered the Z/28 with the 4 speed. My current Z/28 which I bought in ‘81 from the orig owner is a 1970 4 speed with 3.73 posi.

Don't give up! I bought one after searching for a year. I found it by accident buried in a classic car dealership. Garaged 39 of 40 years with two owners and I drove last in August hitting 49k miles. Get a 4 speed and t-tops, it's really worth it. It sits dead center in my two car remodeled garage. Life is short so enjoy it.

It's far from stock! It's got a high lift cam! Not that I am complaining. I have reason to believe that the catalytic converter is long gone.
