Introduction: 16,400 actual miles survivor! Outstanding colors, love the wheels. #s matching 400, 4-speed with the performance package. Very desirable Trans Am! This was a one owner most of its life. The car speaks for itself, and the title was marked as actual miles.

EXTERIOR: Original paint and it looks beautiful! $1700 was just spent on paint correction and ceramic coating giving it a lustrous finish. The body is obviously original and also in excellent shape with no rust or damage. These really come decked out with scoops, spoilers, air extractors and even a shaker hood. The shaker scoop has never been modified or cut like most of them. The bright blue decals still look great too. The weather strips are still soft, the original glass is still crystal clear. The windshield has stickers from 5 Trans Am Nationals it participated in. As part of the Special Performance Package, it has the awesome looking 15x8 aluminum snowflake wheels which are in excellent shape. They are wearing Coker reproduction GoodYear Polysteel tires ($550 each).

INTERIOR: This has it's original Deluxe interior that shows practically new! From carpet to headliner everything looks fresh and proper. The dash is great with machine turned trim and the Rally gauges. The odometer is currently reading 16,395 and that's actual! The formula wheel is pristine and the original AM-FM stereo is still in place. There's a nice surprise on the visor, Burt Reynolds autograph! Still, the best part is the 4-speed shifter.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It has its original #s matching 400 with original components. It is very authentic and has had very careful detailing making it look new. The shaker air cleaner assembly is complete down to the heat riser tube. The vacuum lines are still in place, the squirters are hooked up, the overflow bottle is still there. It features power steering and brakes, there are paper tags from new still on the booster! There's a few more mystery signatures on the core support. Most likely Pontiac related and were signed at the Nationals.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Like a time capsule! Under the trunk lid still looks new including the original decals. The jamb and original weatherstrip is mint. Inside is spotless with original mat. The jack and spare have never been used, it's complete with air bottle.

UNDERSIDE: It is very clean, original condition under this one! The suspension and oil pan have had a little careful touching up to look fresh. The floors are untouched original, never spray painted and the are as dry as a desert rock! This T/A has the Special Performance Package which includes stiffer springs and shocks, larger rear sway bar, constant ratio steering and 4 wheel disc brakes. Everything looks proper and is functioning properly. The dual exhaust still has its catalytic converter and chrome splitter tips but the mufflers have been upgraded with Flowmasters. The fuel tank looks like new. Looking up at the motor it is clean Pontiac blue with a correct starter. It has it's #matching close ratio 4-speed manual trans and it looks clean. In back it has its original 3.23 posi rear end.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

Out of 117,108 Trans Ams produced in 1979, only 8,326 were 4-speeds! This is truly a rare find, they can only be original once and very few look this good!
