In the late 1970s, Pontiac found itself grappling with overwhelming demand for its iconic Trans Am, leading to production challenges that spurred the introduction of the WS7 package. While the revered WS6 package, celebrated for its performance enhancements, remained in high demand, production constraints necessitated innovative solutions to meet the fervent requests from customers.
By 1979, the Trans Am had reached unprecedented heights, achieving record-breaking sales figures and solidifying its place in automotive history. With total Firebird shipments exceeding 211,000 units, of which the Trans Am accounted for over 117,000 units, it became unequivocally clear that the Trans Am had become the most coveted variant in Pontiac’s lineup.
