Up for bid today is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Here is one of those barn finds that you don't come across everyday. This would be an ideal restoration project that has been in storage for years. This car is out of a Southern California and is being sold as is. This is an original 1979 Pontiac 6.6 Litre, Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am. This is the real deal. The interior is complete. The driver seat is ripped and torn and the passenger seat has a few rips but is in better shape than the drivers seat. The rest of the interior is decent for a 31-year-old F Body. The doors, trunk, hood and T-tops all line up. The trunk is very solid. The car is original yellow, which is faded and worn. All of the stickers are original. As with any car or any collector car " they are original only once." I am sure if you are looking for a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am you are familiar with the Smokey and the Bandit movies which has immortalized the Black 1979 Pontiac Trans Am for all time. This is a particular collector car that is going up in value every year and affordable cars are getting impossible to obtain. You can look on EBAY right now and find a like new 1979 Pontiac Trans Am for around $65,000. There are several examples that are available but few original cars for under $25,000. Many are all original with original paint, which is rare as the paint in 1979 was not good. Most 1979 Pontiac Trans Ams are at least repainted. This particular car has the original paint when it left the factory 31 years ago. The paint on this car is poor but its original. The body is straight and does not appear to have any body damage except for the passenger side fender. This is a good thing as when you restore a car and make it better than new, a solid original car is much easier to make perfect than a car that has body work in past. This is a car that I will make into a perfect high dollar Trans Am if not sold. I purchased this with that in mind but because of several other projects, nothing has been done on it. I will kick myself later but I have too many projects and not enough time. This is a California car from new. Built in California and sold new in California. 2W87K9L139501 VIN DECODER 2 = Pontiac W = Trans AM 87 = Sorts Coupe K = 403 9 = 1979 L = Van Nuys, CA Production #139501 Production Sequence It is getting more and more difficult to find original unrestored California Trans Ams for an affordable price.

Email me with your offer and a phone number and/or email. Please don't email me with a question of "what will I sell it for?", "what is your reserve?", "how much for cash?". I have set a low reserve but hope it will bring more than the reserve. If it only brings the reserve then that is what I will sell it for. This is an auction and it really does not matter what I have set the reserve at. What matters is how much you feel comfortable paying for this particular car. Please remember to read all descriptions and terms of the auction before you bid. Please ask any questions you might have prior to bidding. I am very happy to accommodate any requests for a personal inspection prior to bidding or purchase of the vehicle. ADDITIONAL VEHICLE INFORMATION I can guarantee I have done my best to describe every physical and internal flaw that I am aware of. However, I don't claim to have gone over every inch of the car inside and out but I have tried to describe the major points as accurately as we know of at the time of the auction. Please remember that this is a used vehicle, and as with any used vehicle, it may have or develop issues or problems at any time. The vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, and with no warranty. Please don't have unreasonable expectations that this is a new car. All information provided in this ad is based on the condition of the car at the time the ad was written. If you would like to view the vehicle prior to bidding, please email me with your telephone number and I will call you to set up an appointment. Please do not wait until the last day of the auction. Please email any other questions you may have. Please do not email with requests for the reserve. The reserve price will not change what you can afford to pay for the car. It would also not be fair to the other bidders on the car. Bid what you feel comfortable paying for the car. Any requests for reserve price will be ignored. VEHICLE REGISTRATION There is a clear title on the car. Registration is currently in Non-Op. Out of state buyers will need to contact their own DMV office for registration and transfer information. Thank you and we look forward to doing business with you.
