Classic Car Overview
The Legend
1 of 1,817 10th Anniversary Editions produced!
Look at it. Just look at it. If this car doesnt make you immediately want to grow a mustache, crack open a cold Coors, and outrun a county sheriff across state lines, you might need to check your pulse.
This isnt just a car. This is a rolling monument to late-70s American defiance. This is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition. And yes, it has the holy grail powertrain.
The Specs (The Good Stuff)
Most people see a 10th Anniversary TA and assume its got the Oldsmobile 403 automatic cruiser motor. Wrong. This is one of the legendary, ultra-rare W72 Pontiac 400 cars mated to a Borg-Warner T-10 4-speed manual transmission.
Pontiac actually stockpiled a handful of these true 400ci engines from 1978 just to give the 10th Anniversary the send-off it deserved. It is the absolute last year for the real-deal Pontiac big block and a clutch pedal.
Engine: W72 Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8.
Transmission: Super T-10 4-Speed Manual (factory Hurst shifter).
Rear End: Factory WS6 handling package with 4-wheel disc brakes and Positraction.
Mileage: 64,480 original miles.
Paint/Interior: Two-tone Platinum/Charcoal 10th Anniversary scheme with the iconic Super Bird hood decal.
Interior: Factory silver leather spacesuit seats. It feels like NASA designed a cockpit for a guy who loves Lynyrd Skynyrd.
ORIGINAL BUID SHEET!
Condition & Vibe
Exterior: The silver paint catches the sun like a polished mirror. The T-Tops seal tight enough to keep out the rain, but why are you driving this in the rain? T-Tops are meant to be off, stored in the trunk, while your passengers hair blows wildly in the wind.
Interior: The 10th Anniversary silver leather seats are in incredible shape. The red-illuminated instrument cluster works perfectly, staring back at you like the eyes of a mechanical predator.
Mechanical: It starts up with a rumble that clears the neighborhood of stray cats and Prius drivers. It shifts tight, brakes straight (thanks to the factory 4-wheel discs), and the shaker hood scoop dances every time you blip the throttle.
