General description :
For sale in our Indianapolis showroom is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. This 79 Trans Am for sale is covered in a beautiful Gold paint scheme that screams as loud as the Eagle on this hood. This 1979 Trans Am is the epitome of sport and luxury giving the driver the power of a 6.6 liter V8 while bathing him in Air conditioning. With room for 4 adults, (just put the 3rd and 4th favorite in the back) inside this rocket, this was a party machine in the 1980s. If you listen hard you will hear Duran Duran still coming through the rear speakers. When I was young it seems like every mad dash to the local convenience store for the last beer run of the night was done in a car just like this. So yeah, I have a couple of memories about this car, in fact, if you find a twenty dollar bill stuck between the seats, its mine!
