1979 Pontiac Trans Am SE Y84 WS6 Very original, True Y84 Special Edition, WS6, #'s Match Introductions: Up for auction is an extremely rare 1979 Pontiac Trans Am Special Edition, Y84 "Bandit", with the even rarer WS6 Performance Package option. I will spare you all the Smokey and the Bandit cliches and get down to the business of this fine automobile. In 1979 this Trans Am was purchased new at Grayson Motors in Sherman Texas and remained in the South until it was recently brought to New Jersey from Kentucky. It has not seen a Winter here as of yet. Exterior: Drenching all of the classic Trans Am lines is a lustrous Starlight Black (code 19) paint. This car is very solid and straight, and still maintains 100% its original sheet metal. The paint and body are in excellent condition with no rust and a deep glossy shine. All of the gold pinstripping and decals are in perfect condition without any fading, chipping, or cracking. The body is razor straight and has an undistorted, mirror-like, reflection on all panels. The glass in the car is in great shape and without any chips or cracks. The Fisher T-tops fit snuggly into place and are in great condition. All of the weatherstripping on this car is in very good condition. Nothing has been cut up or chopped up on this car. It is very solid and original. Interior: Open either door and step into nicely appointed muscle car interior. The bone stock black deluxe interior (code 19B) is in outstanding condition and has been nicely preserved. There are no rips, tears, or stains on any of the interior surfaces. The original dash is in exceptional condition. All of the gauges fuction properly including the clock. Under dash and dome lights function properly. The heat works. The A/C does not work, but all of the components are present and the compressor moves freely. I believe there is a leak in one of the lines. Windows roll up and down with ease and seal up very snuggly. The trunk still has the original spacesaver spare as well as jack and lug wrench. Mechanical: Turn the key and bring to life the NUMBERS MATCHING 6.6L 403 Olds V8. The engine is very strong and runs smoothly and doesn't hesitate under any throttle position, from idle to wide open. She always starts, runs cool, and has never left me stranded. I wouldn't hestiate to drive this car any distance. The TH350 trans shifts out nice and firm the way it is supposed. The car steers and handles great. The WS6 package really makes a noticible difference over non WS6 cars. The 4 wheel disc brakes have been redone from the master cylinder to rear calipers and they bring everything to a halt promptly and smoothly. The 8" snowflake wheels are wrapped in matching rubber all the way around that has outstanding tread life left. The car is very road worthy whether its 10 mph cruising at a show or 75 mph on the Interstate, this car is right at home. At 70 mph she sings along right at 2500 rpms all day long. The floors and trunk are extremely solid and rust free.This car is one of the nicest, most complete and solid, Trans Ams on Ebay.
