Classic Car Overview
This Trans-Am is a rare bird, one of only 7,500 10th-Anniversary Trans-Ams ever built AND ONLY A FRACTION OF THOSE (1,817) WERE 400 V8 4-SPEED CARS. Along with its special 10th Anniversary paint treatment, graphics, and wheels, this 79 Trans-Am is also a fantastic example, well-optioned with A/C (not cold), a working AM/FM/8-Track player stereo, T-Tops and more. Powered by the numbers matching original PONTIAC 400 ci (6.6 Liter) V8 that breathes through a Shaker hood intake and a 4-barrel carburetor. These were the first Trans AMs to be priced with a MSRP over $10,000. These cars only came one way and that was loaded. So every available option is there. Tilt, Cruise, Power Windows, Locks and a unique one year only Interior. These are the only 2nd Gen Firebirds to get a Leather Interior.
A real survivor here in mostly un-touched original condition which is really hard to find today. If you have been looking for one of these here is your opportunity!! The 10th Anniversary came Completely Loaded with every option available and this one still retains its original tire, jack, inflator, radio and more along with some pretty important documents such as the original warranty registration, owners manual and documented miles on the title.
This car runs and drives as you would expect for a low mileage car AND it is amazing how quiet it is going down the road which is not typical of these cars when they get a lot of miles... further verification of the miles and care. It has been to our service center and comes with fresh oil & filter so it is ready for the road. The pedigree is as follows:
