You are bidding on a 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am. It is in original unrestored condition with only 113k miles. I purchased it out of garage where it has been stored for the last few years. I would love to keep the car but I just don't have time to enjoy it. The car is a driver at the moment with a fresh very good running 403 engine, the transmission also shifts smooth with no issues. The TA has very tight steering with working power windows and locks. The AC has been deleted but I do have it. The car is very solid, floor and truck pans are A1. Its been a southern car it's entire life. The dash is excellent, not a single crack or fading. Door panels look good. The shag carpet is really clean for the age. Front seats will need recovered but the backs are good. The body has no signs off any paint or accident work. Just some minor surface rust at the bottom of the doors. This car would be an excellent car to restore or just drive. These 10th TA's are rarer by the day and make quite a show piece when complete, don't let one this solid pass. I am selling this 10th TA at No Reserve so bid to win. I am willing to help with shipping anywhere at the buyers expense. If you have 0 or negative feedback please contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid. These auctions take time and money so please have funds available before you bid.

If you have any questions about the auction you can contact me at 606-688-4391. Thanks and good luck bidding. History: In 1979, Pontiac Released the 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the first Trans Am that rolled off the line in 1969. This was a limited production run of only 7500 Trans Ams. Really, the only options that were available on the 10th Anniversary Trans Am was the powertrain options. You had your choice of either the Pontiac 400 with the 4-Speed transmission, or the Olds 403 with the automatic transmission. Out of the 7500 production cars, 1,817 were equipped with the 400/4-speed combo, and 5,683 were equipped with the 403/auto combo. Standard on the 10th Anniversary was the two-tone silver and charcoal paint. This paint scheme was accented by a special 5 color hood-bird which wings extended over the hood and onto the side fenders. The body of the car was also outlined in a special black and red stripe package much like the "Special Edition" striping of the earlier Special Edition Trans Ams. There were also special badges (decals) that were placed on the car signifying the 10th Anniversary Edition. All of the 10th Anniversary car were nicely equipped with the WS6 handling package, custom silver interior with "shag" carpet and the Firebird emblem embroidered in the door panels and also in the rear seat back. Also standard on all 10th Anniversary Trans Ams were power windows, power locks, Air Conditioning, power trunk release.... in sort, pretty much every option available at the time. Also, the interior was also trimmed with a special "Engine-turned" gear shift bezel that went nicely with the dash, which for this model was illuminated red instead of the normal white gauges. You really can't tell in the day, but at night it gives a whole new feel and look to the inside. The T-tops were also a special mirrored finish instead of the drab "smoked" finish of T-tops seen previously. The 10th Anniversary Trans Am was also the first time you saw the "Turbo" wheels seen on later Special Edition Turbo, Pace Car, and other Turbo Trans Ams. All-in-All, this wasn't your ordinary "run-of-the-mill" Trans Am. Just about everything on this car was taken to the next level to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of this popular Musclecar. Unlike Special Edition Trans Ams of the past, this car could easily be identified by using the VIN number as a reference. Instead of the normal "S" or "W" to signify Firebird or Trans Am, the 10th Anniversary had a "X" as the second digit in the VIN number to signify it is Special.

Forgot to mention in the description when first listed, thanks.
