INTRODUCTION: Only 6,925 original miles! One of just 119 Hurst
six-speed convertibles produced! This rare 30th Anniversary Trans
Am is all original and presents like new, inside and out. We
acquired it from a collector friend in Georgia who displayed it in
his private 50 car showroom for 17 years. He bought it from a
gentleman who was hiding it from his wife in a storage building!
Sold new at Sullivan Pontiac in Illinois, it includes the original
window sticker and glovebox manuals. An exceptionally rare,
desirable performance car!
EXTERIOR: It presents itself like a brand new car! I personally
went around it very closely and couldn't find a flaw worth
mentioning. The Trans Am had some seriously aggressive styling for
its era, and the 30th Anniversary Edition takes it to another
level. Up front is the dramatic bulged twin Ram Air scooped hood
feeding the LS1, along with the aerodynamic front fascia with
integrated fog lamps and signature hideaway headlights. The aero
treatment continues with sculpted lower rocker moldings,
aerodynamic mirrors, rear spoiler and a distinctive rear fascia
with Pontiac's honeycomb style taillights. The Arctic White
exterior is still wearing its original factory paint and is close
to pristine, accented by the signature blue 30th Anniversary
stripes. The glass is crystal clear and the weatherstrips remain
soft. Even the power convertible top is special, finished in rich
blue cloth and still in excellent condition. Unique 17-inch five
spoke aluminum wheels have a blue anodized tint and 30th
Anniversary identification, and they're wrapped in its original
Goodyear Eagle F1 performance tires. Special 30th Anniversary logos
on the doors provide the finishing touch.
INTERIOR: The interior is all original and in excellent shape,
really it looks practically brand new! It showcases the desirable
white Prada leather upholstery with blue embroidered 30th
Anniversary logos. It is equipped with supportive sport seats, with
the driver's seat featuring power adjustment for added comfort. The
sporty center console houses the controls and prominently displays
the 30th Anniversary plaque, identifying this car as number .
Entertainment is handled by the Monsoon stereo system, complete
with an equalizer and CD player. Additional features include
steering wheel mounted controls, a tilt steering wheel, a full set
of factory gauges, and full power accessories including power
locks, power windows, and power mirrors. It even has 30th
anniversary floor mats.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is the legendary LS1 5.7-liter
V8, and this one remains completely stock and exceptionally well
preserved. The functional Ram Air system feeds fresh air through
the twin hood scoops, helping the LS1 produce 320 horsepower in WS6
trim. Everything presents just as it left Pontiac, right down to
the factory intake, ignition and accessories. The engine bay is
remarkably clean and original, with the hoses, wiring, plastics and
finishes all presenting exceptionally well.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is surprisingly deep and offers useful cargo
space for a performance convertible. It is fully carpeted and
presents in excellent condition. The hatch can be released remotely
from inside the car or right from the key fobs. It also includes
the storage bag for the three piece convertible top boot.
UNDERSIDE: It features the desirable WS6 performance suspension,
which includes a specially tuned suspension with larger sway bars
and firmer springs and shocks for improved handling. Up front is
independent suspension, while the rear uses a solid axle with coil
springs, trailing arms, torque arm and track bar. It has power
4-wheel disc brakes with ABS. The factory exhaust system is still
in place and exits through the polished tips. Looking up at the
drivetrain, it retains its original Tremec 6-speed manual
transmission, which sends the power back to the limited-slip rear
end with 3.42 posi gears. Overall, the underside is remarkably well
preserved and presents exactly as you would hope from a low mile,
original survivor. The floors are clean white metal, even the
assembly line tags are still in place.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: I consider this one of the best cars of its era. It has
everything going for it: looks, performance, and rarity. And this
is arguably one of the finest examples you'll find anywhere! Let me
ask you this: If you could go back to 1999 and buy this car brand
new for $36,000, would you? Well, you practically can! Adjusted for
inflation, we're actually asking less than its original sticker
price. With everything this car has going for it, I believe its
value will only continue to climb!
