SOME
DETAILS ABOUT THE 79 T/A.
In
1979, Pontiac Released the 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am to commemorate the
10th Anniversary of the first Trans Am that rolled off the line in 1969. This was a limited production run of only 7500 Trans Ams. Really, the only options that were available on the 10th Anniversary Trans Am was the
powertrain options. You had your choice of either the Pontiac 400 with
the 4-Speed transmission, or the Olds 403 with the automatic transmission. Out of the 7500 production cars, 1, 817 were equipped with the 400/4-speed
combo, and 5, 683 were equipped with the 403/auto combo. Standard on the
10th Anniversary was the two-tone silver and charcoal paint. This paint
scheme was accented by a special 5 color hood-bird which wings extended over
the hood and onto the side fenders. The body of the car was also outlined
in a special black and red stripe package much like the Special
Edition striping of the earlier Special Edition Trans Ams. There
were also special badges (decals) that were placed on the car signifying the
10th Anniversary Edition. All of the 10th Anniversary car were nicely
equipped with the WS6 handling package, custom silver interior with shag
carpet and the Firebird emblem embroidered in the door panels and also in the
rear seat back. Also standard on all 10th Anniversary Trans Ams were
power windows, power locks, Air Conditioning, power trunk release. . in sort, pretty much every option available at the time. Also, the interior was
also trimmed with a special Engine-turned gear shift bezel
that went nicely with the dash, which for this model was illuminated red
instead of the normal white gauges. You really can't tell in the day, but
at night it gives a whole new feel and look to the inside. The T-tops
were also a special mirrored finish instead of the drab smoked
finish of T-tops seen previously. The 10th Anniversary Trans Am was also
the first time you saw the Turbo wheels seen on later Special
Edition Turbo, Pace Car, and other Turbo Trans Ams. All-in-All, this
wasn't your ordinary run-of-the-mill Trans Am. Just
about everything on this car was taken to the next level to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of this popular Musclecar.
Unlike Special Edition Trans Ams of the past, this car could
easily be identified by using the VIN number as a reference. Instead of
the normal S or W to signify Firebird or Trans Am, the
10th Anniversary had a X as the second digit in the VIN number to
signify it is Special.
