MaxMotive is proud to present this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am Y84 Special Edition, an instantly recognizable American icon finished in Starlight Black with gold Bandit graphics. Built during the second week of January 1979 at Pontiacs Norwood, Ohio plant, this Trans Am represents the final and most refined years of the second-generation F-body.
Under the hood sits the factory-correct Oldsmobile 403 cubic inch (6.6L) V8, the standard and proper engine for U.S.-market 1979 Trans Ams. Known for its smooth torque delivery and effortless cruising character, the 403 pairs perfectly with the Trans Ams grand touring personality and unmistakable shaker hood presentation.
Inside, the car features a black custom interior with bucket seats, power windows, and the ever-desirable Fisher T-tops, delivering the open-air experience these cars are famous for. The cockpit retains the bold, driver-focused styling that helped define the Trans Am as both a performance car and a cultural symbol.
The car presents as an honest, correct Y84 example that benefits from its originality and proper configuration. As with many classic vehicles of this era, a few mechanical details are typical of ongoing stewardship: the air conditioning system is currently inoperative due to a locked compressor, and the odometer is not functioning, with the issue believed to be isolated to the odometer mechanism itself.
Whether youre drawn to the legendary Bandit look, the unmistakable sound and feel of a late-70s Trans Am, or the appeal of a factory-correct Y84 Special Edition, this car delivers the style, presence, and nostalgia that made these cars icons.
