well the car is a project so i dont know about how everything is but its reliable, starts every time and pretty easily too, not to big on speed but has good torque, car is built pretty well, has common rust for these cars and paint is faded but the car is 31 years old and drives better than my 97 chrysler concorde. it gets horrible gas mileage because it has a slow leak. the car is very fun to drive when i can.Jul 20, 2010

This is a survivor! Built for heat, this thing withstands high heats with its nice sporty Chevy built motor. It cost quite a bit on gas, but hardly a thing in parts! And you know it's always fun to pull up in a Firebird! :DDec 07, 2009

My brother and I made my dad buy this car after they stole the 76 Monte Carlo we owned. This was a great car. Did not have the trin in picture but was the same colo, couldn't find any pictures. Could of used more horse power though.Oct 08, 2009

had a heavily modified 69 Pontiac 350 motor. I was getting around 350 hp with that setup, then came the Pontiac 400 motor, swapped the 6x heads onto that and sold off the rest. fun project. Great handling, better power Jul 13, 2009

awesome, good quality parts very solid, becoming a popular collector car, 301 2bbl- not very much power but enough, very low cost to own, just change the oil, this is a very fun car to dive around in the summer.Jun 19, 2009

frame rot, other then that a real head turner, great paint job, not the biggest engine but still gets the job done with the 301 V8, if it had maybe the 400 turbo then would be plenty, might need a little more room in the back but as the driver who cares i dont sit back there!!Nov 29, 2008

Here's the first car I bought with my own money for the sole purpose of assorted wrenching. It was just a beastly as it the pictures show it.
To give a better impression of the car, I still have the website I put together when I sold the beast on eBay -

My car is sweet. I had a sweet review here too, but CarGurus took it down because apparently I had a swearword in it. It'd be nice if they had told me first, instead of just yankin' the thing off there. Now I can't remember how it was worded; but it was sweet.Apr 22, 2008

Well mine has been in the family since it was new in 1979. It has about 200,000 on the original engine and still purrs like a kitten. Mine has been pretty much restored except for the engine, which I have plans for in the future. Great carMar 08, 2008

There is a world of difference between a Firebird and a Trans Am. First off how about the 6.6 liter (Olds 403ci) It was faster then the desert wind, more powerfull then a raging lion to bad it got stolen.Jun 27, 2007

1979 firebird how can I replace electical ignition switch on column?
1979 firebird, car cranks, getting gas but no spark. Replaced cap, rotor, coil, module already. Need instructions to swap ignition switch. I've already dropped steering column. Can I just unplug and swap units without removing anything else? May there be another cause for crank but no start.
