1979 Pontiac

Trans Am

Description

Stock Number: 1927 - This Trans AM is 1 of only 2,485 available in 1979. That is less than 3% of the production for 1979. That makes this Pontiac a real collectable. Trans AM's optioned like these are considered some of the most desirable of the late 2nd Gen TA's on the market. 1979 marked the culmination of the Best features built into one TA and also marked the end of the Big Cubic Inch Pontiac V8's. The W72 400 was never to be seen again. The WS6 handling option received the highly desirable 4 Wheel Disc Brakes and this put the Trans AM into a new class or performance cars. With its torque and deep rumble, the 400ci Pontiac was the biggest engine of the year for GM in a Sports Car. Even the Corvette would only be offered with a 350ci V8.

This TA is a solid rust free example that we acquired down in the Big Easy - New Orleans. It was sold New at Paretti Pontiac in Metaire, LA. This Trans AM is very well documented. Included in the extensive documentation is the Build Sheets (2), original Window Sticker, many purchase and restoration documents and photos. There have only been 2 owners of this Trans AM and it has always been well cared for and required minimal detailing when we received it. This Trans AM was repainted in approximately 1992. New Decals were installed by the 2nd owner in 2013. He also added a Ram Air III performance CAM at that time. There is some real Pontiac Excitement that is felt when you drive this Trans AM. The engine and drive-line are in great condition. There are New Year One WS6 15"x8" Snowflake wheels installed and BF Goodrich Radial T\A Tires. The interior is in beautiful condition with new seat covers installed in 2013. The brakes were also fully serviced. Slightly less than 3,000 miles have been put on the car since all the work was done. So this car shows very well. Take a look at the undercarriage and see the exceptional floor pans. The paint shows very well, but does have some chips and scratches that you would expect on a 25 year old finish. Nothing that detracts from the overall good looks of this Pontiac. A partial list of the New items are listed below. If you want a very collectible Trans AM that is ready to drive and enjoy, this is the one you have been waiting for.
