Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary (1979)
for sale
Price: US $200.00
Price: US $200.00
Hello bidders,
You are bidding on a
beautiful 1979 10th anniversary Trans Am; VIN number
2X87K9L167272. I still have the original
build sheet and owner’s manual. About
99.5% of this car has been reconditioned or replaced. I have about 1.5 inches of receipts to show
the work.
I’ve had the car
since 2003 and I never ran or turned on the air conditioner so it may or may
not work. The cruise control doesn’t
work. The heater works fine with a brand
new heater core in it. The original 8-track display is orange not red, I don’t
know why, and it no longer holds the preset stations or time. Never the less, it works great with good
reception and plays the tapes. The power
antenna works as it should. Even the
little clock in the dash still works. The interior has been completely redone – seats, carpet, chrome bits, seatbelts, door panels, headliner, etc. Exterior paint was also done to the correct color and new decals
applied. The t-tops work fine. The automatic transmission checks out fine. The brakes/calipers/pads are new.
The car is not an
original purist restoration. I fixed it
to drive, not be trailered. For example, the factory cars had the underside of the engine hood a flat black and the underside
of the trunk painted silver. I’ve always
thought that looked strange and unfinished, therefore, I painted the underside
of the hood silver and added the insolation pad. When I replaced the head liner, I used the
felt material, not the original perforated vinyl because it gives the car a
warmer feeling inside. It has the
original rims but instead of refinishing the polished aluminum, I had them
chrome plated. To me, chrome looks and
holds up better than polished aluminum. I also installed a modern radio with CD in place of the map tray. There is an extra toggle switch installed
next to the rear window defogger switch that controls which radio is
playing. I also installed a true duel
exhaust with Flowmasters and a Holley 650 or 750 CFM carburetor. I don’t remember which and my receipt from
Mondello Performance Products does not list it.
The original motor
had 88, 565 miles on it. I rebuilt the
engine in 2005 and now it has 90, 122 miles on the car. In ten years I’ve driven the car about 1500
miles, or about 150 miles per year. The
car has been kept garaged and protected. I am a non-smoker so there are no nasty odors. I have done extensive work on this car, inside and out. Please look over all the
photos and ask any questions you may have before bidding.
Now for the legalese. The car is sold as is where is: no warranties
expressed or implied. The sale is final
