Vehicle Detail

1979 PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM SOUTHERN MUSCLE CAR NO RESERVE...BIDDING STARTS WELL UNDER BOOK VALUE!! PLEASE NOTE: There are over 100 images to give you a very good look at this iconic American Classic. BUT, to see ALL the pictures, you MUST place your cursor OVER an image and then patiently scroll ALL the way down! Thanks! After reviewing all the pictures and reading the description, please call Jim Murphy at 706-429-7924 if you have any questions. I am listing this beautiful 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for my client...a college student who will be too busy with his studies to fully appreciate this car. It had been in his family for years and is DOCUMENTED as being purchased new from Brooks Chevrolet - Buick - Pontiac in Millen, Georgia! Therefore, it has a very sold body and undercarriage (note the images showing the undersides of each door and the undercarriage). Many family members worked for years to bring this Trans Am to the very nice condition it is in today. They worked extremely hard to get EVERYTHING (except the cigarette lighter...no one smokes!) working. That includes the highly desirable FACTORY AIR. With Power Steering, Power Brakes, and Power Windows...this was a luxuriously outfitted car in its time. Originality was an important restoration goal...but an updated CD-radio (with MP3 plug and two powerful 6x9 Kicker speakers) and the more desirable 400 cid V8 (vs. the 403 unit which had been in the car) were installed. As a finishing touch, the owner is working on a blanking plate where the factory radio once was...but the original radio is shown and included in the auction. A great deal of money was invested in the restoration which included all the following NEW items: paint, seat covers, fuel tank, disc brakes (all four wheels), brake master cylinder, windshield (NO cracks!), carburetor and radiator (rebuilt), clutch fan, starter, wiper motor, exhaust, distributor, and transmission (rebuilt - with B&M shift kit), carpet, and headliner. In sum, a VERY thorough job of reconditioning this car was achieved - both cosmetically and mechanically. But most important, is how NICE this car DRIVES! It tracks well, the body is solid, the brakes, steering, and drivetrain are all responsive and strong. You will be noticed on cruise night in this modern classic. With the Trans Am's iconic movie role in Smokey and the Bandit...as well as many other movies and TV shows of the 1970s, there are very few cars that can match its appeal and appreciation potential as an investment. With banks paying practically nothing on savings deposits - and an unpredictable stock market - this is truly a smart way to "Drive Your Investment". There are many nice "Bonus" items included in the auction, including: two ORIGINAL leatherette storage sleeves for the two T-Top sections, a specially fitted car cover, samples of the paint and dyes used in the restoration, original bits of the Pontiac Motor Division production order papers, the original radio, the original speaker grilles, and many restoration receipts ...all shown at right. The Georgia Registration certificate and State Inspection are also shown at right. Please note that in Georgia, titles are not required for any cars produced before 1985. A Bill of Sale legally transfers ownership - by state law. Payment is due in full within 7 days of auction's end, via Bank to Bank Wire transfer (the safest payment method for both Buyer and Seller). Car will be released to new Buyer immediately following full clearance of funds in Seller's bank. International Bidders are Welcome - but must be responsible for all customs, transportation, and pick-up arrangements. International Buyers must also abide by the Payment Terms detailed herein. All representations about the vehicle are believed to be correct...but there are NO warranties expressed or implied due to vehicle's age. It is sold as-shown and as-is. The odometer reading is not believed to be accurate - due to the design limitations of the odometer.
