This 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am with a FACTORY
4-SPEED is has been a cherished part of the family. Unfortunately, we no longer have time to
drive it. It has been adult owned, driven, and meticulously maintained. Recently it
has had a new clutch, intake manifold, battery, and reproduction seatbelts
installed for better safety. The OEM
manifold and seatbelts have been kept if necessary to maintain originality. This car has only been driven as a fair
weather family car, less than 200 miles a year. This car as it sits, is a rarity, 1 of 1, 817
to be exact.
Under the hood is a clean 56, 000-mile motor with the
correct Pontiac blue paint on the block, T/A chrome valve covers, a fresh
alternator, and factory A/C, which was standard on the Anniversary T/A. This car has the factory (numbers matching)
Pontiac 400 with a Super T-10 transmission. The factory claimed that torque was the same at 220 HP/ 320 pound-feet
or torque. This car feels much
faster. Additionally, there is now an
Edelbrock bi-plane intake manifold under the factory carburetor. Wiring and hoses are in excellent
condition. It does carry a set of
aftermarket headers (by hooker). The
4-speed Trans Am has 3.23 gears in the 10-bolt rear for improved acceleration
and decent highway manners. Underneath
is clean for a 56, 000-mile original car.
The body features zero rust damage - really! The floorboards are original and still
covered by factory undercoating. This
car features one quality repaint in its history file, it could easily pass for
well-maintained factory paint. Panel
gaps are factory, and nothing about the finish is badly done. The decal package on this car was reapplied
after the repaint, and remains in excellent condition. This car has always been garage kept, there
is no checking or cracking or sun damage. Minor flaws include, the driver side marker light shroud is showing some
signs of age with some cracking, and a few missing pieces of paint on the
trailing edge of the driver’s door.
The interior is silver leather which matched the cars
silver exterior. This Trans Am’s interior
is in excellent condition, displaying little to no wear at all. The shag carpet on the floors is in excellent
condition, and the dash is 100% original, including the gauges and
engine-turned dashboard. As with all 10th
Anniversary Edition cars, this one is loaded with every single option Pontiac
could throw at a Firebird, including power windows, power locks, factory A/C, and an AM/FM radio. This car also sports
an AM/FM/CD player integrated into the console below the dash, keeping the
original (8-Track) radio intact if you want to go back to 100% original
condition. The T-tops are the original mirrored glass pieces, and the
factory-issue storage bags are still in the trunk with a complete jack assembly
and space saver spare tire. This car
comes with the original build sheet (not a PHS reproduction!), which is
incredibly rare, as well as receipts.
This vehicle is being sold as is, with no warranty. There is a clean Texas title. I am not looking for tire-kickers, joyrider -
serious inquiries only, as my time with my family is valuable, so is
yours. Viewing by appointment only, there
will be no test drives unless a deal is reached prior. Please feel free email with any questions
you may have. I can then set up a time
to receive calls.
The asking price is a reasonable $40, 000, which is just
below the average that these have been selling for at auctions and private
sales. I am willing to consider reasonable
offers. More photos can be made
available upon request, but photos do not do this car justice.
NOTE: I am not responding to dealer assisted sales calls, or other listing
services.
