21,051 mile survivor! This is one of six cars we just purchased
from the Georgia Mountain Collection. He owned it the last 16
years. The 10th anniversary comes loaded with every option
including features that are not available on any other Trans-Am.
This one is the highly desirable W72 performance 400 with a
4-speed. It is #s matching and includes its original documentation.
We spent over $4,600 servicing this survivor, so it functions as
good as it looks.
EXTERIOR: The body is outstanding, no rust or damage. The spoilers
and rubber bumpers are excellent too. It was repainted one time and
the finish is probably better than when it was new! The decals were
replaced. The mirrored T-tops look great. Weather strips are still
soft. The original turbo wheels are in very good original
condition.
INTERIOR: This was a very upgraded interior compared to any other
Trans-Am. The 10th anniversary was the only one available with
genuine leather upholstery, embroidered birds, plush carpet, red
lit gauges, and spaceship silver color. These also come fully
loaded with power windows, locks, antenna, and trunk. It has a
digital tape player stereo, tilt wheel, pulse wipers and a rear
defroster. This one's in very good original condition: the dash,
all the plastic trim, console look great. We did replace the
headliner.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The W-72 was the performance 400 with a hotter
cam, much improved 6x4 heads, higher compression, a special tuned
carb and it was differentiated by its chrome valve covers. Of
course, this one is VIN # matching to this car. The components all
appear stock like it left the factory. The duct work, hoses,
squirters, overflow bottle are all proper. It features working air
conditioning, power steering and brakes.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the lid and jamb are very good original
paint with original stickers and weatherstrip. Inside is clean
metal with original insulated mat. The jack may have never been out
of the car. It also has its original collapsible spare and air
bottle.
UNDERSIDE: It is very well preserved original, there are even still
original tags and markings! The floors and frame rails are dry as a
chalkboard, no rust. It has the special W-S6 handling package which
also includes disc brakes at all four wheels. The e-brake is hooked
up. The dual exhaust is clean and has original splitter tips.
Original gas tank still has its ink stamp. The oil pan is dry,
never spray painted over. Clean VIN number matching 4-speed trans.
In back is the original 3.23 posi with tag and paint marking still
intact.
SERVICE: We inspected the car and spent $4,634 on service. We
replaced some vacuum lines, installed a new radiator, adjusted the
clutch, and installed a return spring. We replaced the sill plates.
We rebuilt the brakes by replacing the front pads and rotors, rear
brake pads and a new master cylinder. We cleaned and lubed the lock
mechanisms for the power locks, installed a new headliner, replaced
the turn signal bulb, charged the air conditioning, replaced
passenger power window motor, repaired the passenger door lock
cylinder, and replaced the power antenna.
These are very collectible Trans Arms with a proven investment
history. The 10th anniversaries come optioned the same with one big
exception: the 403 came with an automatic and was 40 hp less than
the W72 400 which only came with a 4-speed. I'm sure you can figure
out which one is the most desirable!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
