2,757 Actual Mile Trans Am 10th Anniversary 400 4 Speed
This all-original, investment grade 10th anniversary Trans Am Limited Edition is one of only 1,817 cars equipped with the LAST of Pontiacs W72 400 engines and has driven only 2,757 miles in its 32 year existence. It has been exceptionally maintained throughout its entire life and has never been taken apart or received any major body repairs. Recently, it was repainted in a professional basecoat/clearcoat paint job that exactly duplicates its correct GM code 15 Platinum Poly and GM code 16 Dark Charcoal color scheme and gives the car a slick, factory-fresh appearance. On top of the glossy and subdued paint, a new set of correct black and red outlining stripes, and anniversary call-outs perfectly complement new dealer-supplied Daytona 500 pace car side stickers and a menacing five color 'super bird' hood decal which flows seamlessly onto the car's front fenders. Pop the car's hood and you'll find an all original W72 Pontiac V8 which was actually left over from the 1978 model year when Pontiac had discontinued production of the engine. By utilizing smaller “6X” heads from a 350 and a revised camshaft, the W72 created higher compression and successfully reversed almost a decade of declining horsepower numbers. Underneath this Trans Am, you'll find an exclusive to the W72 4-speed manual transmission which sends power to the car's original 10-bolt rear end, and a standard WS6 handling package. Power flows to the pavement through familiar 225/70R15 Cooper Cobra Radial G/Ts, which are mounted to new for '79 anniversary car exclusive 15 inch 'turbo' style polished aluminum wheels. And, in case you're a stickler for absolute authenticity, the car's original 225/70 white letter Goodyear Polysteel Radials ARE included with our sale. With its all-Pontiac motor, hot close-ratio 4-speed and 4-wheel disc brakes, this rare Trans Am is an excellent road car that has a tremendous potential upside.
