Mechanical

Under the hood is the 403 cubic-inch V8 engine verified by the 5th digit in the VIN number K = 403 Cubic Inch 4-bbl V8 that we are told it came with that fires up readily and inhales deeply with the four-barrel carburetor, exhaust, blue painted engine and heads, blue valve covers, power steering and power disc brakes, air conditioning, correct shaker hood scoop, and everything else on the engine looks as it did when it was built and sits in a very clean and detailed engine compartment with the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission that makes this Trans Am easy to shift.

The chassis rides and handles firmly with that TA package and sway bars as it rides on BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires raised white letter tires on the iconic Turbine Pontiac factory mag wheels.

Interior

Take a seat inside our TA and you're greeted by a silver leather interior and a handsome center console housing the 3-speed automatic transmission. It has the twin front bucket seats, grey simulated leather-wrapped Formula steering wheel, engine-turned instrument panel inlay with special red lighting for the instruments inspired by aircraft, the Rally Gauge cluster which included both a clock and tachometer, power windows, and air conditioning, matching side door panels and rear seats, grey carpet, and even a grab strap on the dash.

Exterior

The big difference on our ’79 10th Anniversary Trans Am is the never-before-seen silver-and-charcoal scheme with a "super bird" on the hood with its wing tips extended onto the tops of the front fenders.

A new cast-aluminum turbo 15 x 8 inch wheel design was in the package as it also included 10th Anniversary badging and decals, gray/red pin stripping and decals, the shaker hood, T-Tops, ground effects and wheel opening spoilers on the sides, air extractors on the front fenders, and a rear spoiler.

The tail panel appeared to be one continuous blacked-out unit with the taillamp lenses flanking the centrally positioned fuel-filler door, cloaked in matching trim.
