1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, one of only 1,800 10th Anniversary cars produced with a Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 mated to a Borg Warner four-speed manual transmission. All of the 7,500 anniversary cars (to commemorate ten years of the Trans Am) were silver over silver and featured an extra-large hood decal that extends over to the front fenders. Most of the V8 cars got an Oldsmobile 403 with an automatic transmission, but PMD stockpiled Pontiac 400s from '78 to install in the four-speed manual cars, which were offered in very limited numbers.

With the same collector-owner since 2007, this Trans Am has lived a pampered life -- sold new in College Station, Texas, it has always been a Southern car. Repainted once in the correct color to a better-than-factory standard; the car is solid and straight with excellent gaps and no known rust. Wheels, trim, glass and t-tops are likewise excellent. Interior shows well with newer seat upholstery and door panels, but the rest remains in very good original condition. Remarkably correct and unmolested, down to the original eight-track stereo. Fisher T-top bags in like-new condition.

Very tidy under the hood and underneath with all service up to date. Runs and drives quite well. 1979 sales literature, owner's manual, warranty book, factory build sheet and more than a decade of records are included with the sale. A very clean, well-sorted and rare example that would be a welcome addition to any collection.
