The Model - Valentine's Day, 1999 was especially sweet for Pontiac
fans. Pacing the legendary Daytona 500 was the 30th Anniversary
edition of the Trans-Am. A special limited edition run of just
1,000 T-top coupes had been planned, and despite a hefty $31,500
price they sold out fast. Among the many special appointments were
30th Anniversary badges on the front doors, the front fascia and on
the dashboard a special numbered badge. All of these hot cars were
equipped with the WS6 handling package and powered by the 320 HP
LS1 5.7L engine, the same V8 used in the Corvette. Special
high-back, white leather bucket seats carried the Anniversary logo,
and owners could opt to have the doors emblazoned with the official
pace car decals. Eye-catching were the blue-tint five-spoke chrome
wheels that really set off the Arctic White finish combined with
the blue-stripes, the same scheme that the original Trans-Am's had
worn 30 years before. Air-conditioning was standard as was a Delco
AM-FM-CD entertainment unit. Also, full instrumentation was
included with easy to read gauges. Showing that the designers of
this car were expecting good things, the coupes received a special
"trophy mat", also emblazoned with the spread-wing anniversary
logo.� �

The Car - As with all of the 30th Anniversary Trans-Am, this
beautiful example is finished in Arctic White with dual blue
stripes. This example carries the Daytona 500 official pace-car
graphics on both front doors. While this car has been driven, it
has been cared for and maintained having seen inside storage all of
its life. There have been a couple of performance upgrades carried
out of the already powerful LS1 V8, such as the addition of a
Wilson "Fast-Flo" LS intake manifold coupled to a Volant
twin-induction cold air set-up. Aside from the engine the rest of
this powerful super-car appears just as it did when new including
those striking blue-chrome plate 5-spoke wheels. Looking inside
this car, the pure-white leather covered bucket seats look like
they are brand-spanking new while it retains the factory installed
Delco AM-FM-CD player, and yes it still has its special limited
edition and number 30th Anniversary plaque on the center console.
In doing our research we found that there had only been one major
recall on this car, to correct the spread-eagle logo used on the
rear panel. Rest assured, this car is fitted with the "filled-wing"
version of this awesome logo, which represents an equally awesome
car.
