***1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary 400/4 speed*** In 1979 Pontiac came upon the 10th anniversary of its beloved Trans Am. Amid all the hype received from the infamous Bandit movie Pontiac decided to herald the milestone with a special anniversary package. In 1978 the end of the 400 was near and a few were held back for the special edition anniversary trans am coming up in the following model year. This short run of just 7500 special edition 10th Anniversary Trans Ams was the bench mark of the highest selling model year of the TA ever. The buyer got a choice of the Olds 403 with the automatic transmission but the only way to get one of the last 400s in your special edition was with the Super T-10 four speed. Of those 7500 cars 5,683 were Olds/auto cars and just 1,817 had the True Pontiac motor the 400 backed by the manual transmisson. This particular car is very good starting platform for a great driver or a blue chip investment piece. It has its original 400 motor four speed and all the goodies that came with this special package. It is solid in all the places that matter and very fixable to a true muscle car enthusiast with some passion and talent never hurt! This is a nice rare car that is deserving of a complete restoration. It is from a one-owner family and was always garaged. The car is very complete! The car retains all its 10th anniversary specific hardware like the mirrored t-tops, the specific turbine shined aluminum wheels, the silver leather interior, which will need recovering, the red gauges and all the spoilers and badging. All of the original glass is there except windshield, The driveline is complete and all intact. The original 400 the original four speed and the disc-brake posi rear end are all there and in original order. Motor is said to have been rebuilt by previous owner and was pulled in garage under own power a couple of years ago. *I am a car guy and i appreciate honesty and representing a car fairly so this is a brief overview of the car as i see it and from my background with F-bodys.* This car is very structurally sound however it does have a some rust in the common F-body areas that will need addressing. First off it will need some floor work particularly under the drivers seat and near the drivers toe where the seam sealer has caused some rot. Also there is a little rust in the trunk where the mat between the gas tank and trunk floor held moisture and caused some small holes and scaling. It will need a radiator support. Only other little bit of rust is in the corners on top side of the cowl vent panel. The bottoms of the fenders and doors will need some attention too. Other than that the car seems really solid... the rockers are perfect still being able to clearly see the spot welds all the way down them. The quarters are surprisingly nice and very solid as well... even the trunk extension and the bottoms are very nice and easily saved. Car will make a jam-up ride with just a little work and foresight and some talent not to mention it always be fun to drive and worth some good money. *If you have any more questions and are seriously interested please message or call directly for more detailed answers to anything about the car.

I bought the car because im a pontiac guru and you never see a 4 speed anniversary car. I simply have to many projects and am losing my storage so cars need n homes! **Also have a 10th anniversary olds/auto car that is was gutted except for drivetrain but has exceptional OE metal for a very reasonable price or included if this car does $5k. So, You could be the privileged new owner of 2 10th Anniversary cars... now thats something any wife would love to see coming home!! #poncho
