Firebird Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition

Description

This largely-original, investment grade 10th Anniversary Trans Am Limited Edition is one of only 1,817 cars equipped with the LAST of Pontiac's W72 400 engines, and has driven only 3,072 miles in its 37 year existence. The car 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 GM's correct Platinum Poly and Dark Charcoal color scheme, giving the car a slick, factory-fresh appearance. On top of that glossy and subdued paint, a set of correct black and red outlining stripes, complete with anniversary call-outs, perfectly complements dealer-supplied Daytona 500 pace car side stickers and a menacing five color 'super bird' hood decal. Pop the car's hood and you'll find an 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 a W72-exclusive 4-speed manual transmission that sends power to the car's original 10-bolt rear end, and a standard WS6 handling package. And power flows to the pavement through familiar 235/70R15 Goodyear Polysteel Radials, which are mounted to new-for-'79, anniversary car-exclusive 'turbo style' wheels. 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.
