1979 Macho T/A on BAT

I never have decided if I like the looks of these. But I could never complain about the modifications done to these late 70's Tuner Trans Am's.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-pontiac-trans-am-64/

This one is a Screaming Chicken Delete car, Pontiac 400 4-speed WS6 T/A to start out with. Very well equipped from the factory before the modifications.

 

"Screaming chicken." When I was a teen, we called them "puking buzzards."

 

I always considered the 1980-81 Turbo Hood Birds to be "Puking Chickens" the 74-79's were just either Screaming or Screeching Chickens in our area.

 

I guess it depended where you grew up.

 

They overheat easily too if the air dams are missing from the front (which they often are after all this time).

 

If that's the only reason they overheat it is easily corrected. Only bid to $32,000 as I type this. I would be surprised if the reserve in under $60,000

 

BID TO $45,426 ON 12/17/21, no sale

 

Yeah I found it on a brokers site for over $70K so it did not even come close to its reserve I suspect. It is a Nice example well equipped, and unusual color combo.
