1979 Pontiac Trans Am

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am SE Bandit 

  Originally released in 1976 as part of Pontiac’s 50th Anniversary celebration, the Special Edition featured a couple of firsts for Trans Am: Starlight Black paint and Hurst Hatches, which were early T-tops added post-assembly at Hurst-Campbell Industries.

  The Pontiac Tran Am starring alongside Burt Reynolds in the smash-hit Smokey and the Bandit on the silver screen really helped the popularity of Pontiac’s last performance car. It defied the odds and was the last muscle car standing, battling on with its strangulated engines but, the styling, graphics and overall polish made the car truly memorable. 

  This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am was sold new at Leo Payne Pontiac Inc. in Lakewood, Colorado. Ordered in the Starlight Black paint with the Y84 special edition package including the iconic gold graphics complemented by a Black interior. Factory ordered with Y84 special edition package, this is one of only 1,107 cars ever produced with the L78 400 ci engine coupled with the 4-speed manual transmission.
