I can still remember seeing that T/A on the big screen!!! Today, simply put these cars are awesome to drive, look at and be seen in; they carry that “Wow” appeal. As-a-result their value and desirability continues to rise every year. And if you've ever dreamed of owning one, today is a much better time to buy than tomorrow. This particular example is a well optioned '79 model that pairs a 6.6 litre V8 and 3-speed automatic gearbox with factory air conditioning and all the outrageous Pontiac swagger you could ever ask for. This T/A was owned by the same owner for the past 10 years and only driven 3,000 miles during that time. The odometer shows 16,000 mile on it and from all accounts this is the original miles—it certainly not 116,000 miles. The history of this car is fuzzy and the miles can-not be documented because of the year the Pennsylvania title was “miles exempt” because of the year and age of the car. What is known of it is that it was painted 15 years ago and by all accounts the interior is original and so is the rest of the car. This was not a frame off restoration by any means. This T/A is offering an authentic driving experience through a roster of correct components. And, if you're ready to cruise the boulevard in one of the most recognizable muscle cars ever assembled, it's your opportunity to seize the day! BODYWORK/TRIM Correct Solar Gold paint under tough "TRANS AM" call-outs and brilliant Screamin' Chicken decals, Fisher T-Tops and details like black headlight buckets, correct black reveal moldings, correct black tail lamps and familiar wheel spoilers round out classic, pavement-pounding aesthetics. ENGINE Naturally, 6.6 litres of GM power back up the car's angry demeanor. Correctly original and ready to roll, this coupe, like the vast majority of factory-accurate 1979 Trans Ams, is equipped with a 403 cubic inch V8. And, it's pretty easy to identify that Oldsmobile-sourced block since "403" is cast right in to the passenger's side of its iron casing. A big 4-barrel carburetor feeds 4A heads that are equipped with 83cc combustion chambers. Delco Air conditioning is always a welcome addition. Decals and brandings are as fresh as when the car rolled off the assembly line. Everything is neatly wrapped in a striking combination of Satin Black and GM Corporate Blue paint. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION Under the floors, a clean chassis visually confirms the car's just finished restoration while hosting a mile-long list of correct components. With the 403 V8 the only option for shifting: was the Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed. That gearbox sends power to a correct GM 10-bolt, which is equipped with a posi-traction differential and highway-friendly gears. Around that rock-solid powertrain, a full F41 suspension, which includes mandatory power steering and thick sway bars, combines with power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide quick stops and great handling. A single-into-dual exhaust-system and original polished side-splitter tips. INTERIOR You will find a correct Camel Tan Deluxe interior. The original seats are comfortably firm. The original Camel Tan console and chrome GM shifter. In front of those seats, an engine turned instrument panel hangs crystal clear gauges above factory climate control. Tan carpet, protected by thick floor mats, looks just as good as the car's plush door panels and tight headliner. In front of the driver, a standard Formula steering wheel spins around a tilting column. And behind the passengers, a fresh trunk anchors a Space Saver spare tire with the original “Filler” canister under a fresh deck-lid decal. A packet of Pontiac Historic Services paperwork is included with the car. With its original drive-train, interior and vivid Solar Gold paint, this T/A simply can't be beat in the realm of late '70s muscle cars. This is your chance to own a truly special cruiser for not a lot of money. This car is perfect for car shows, cruise nights or just going out of a drive and getting the heart pumping.
