Performance Package -Factory Tee Tops -Factory 4 wheel Disc Brakes
-F41 Suspension Package In the late 70's and early 80's, the
Pontiac Trans Am was on a popularity roll! Burt Reynolds made a
black one famous as 'The Bandit,' and they were widely regarded by
most as the last true muscle car on the planet. These cars are back
and more popular than ever, and the upswing in value and
collectability for these highly optioned examples shows no signs of
slowing! Astute buyers are beginning to take advantage of the
opportunity to sign the papers on the Trans Ams of their fond
childhood memories before prices really begin to rise. And this
awesome 1979 model, with its numbers matching W72 4-speed
powertrain, long list of desirable options and full documentation,
is the perfect investment for a savvy buyer who wants to stash back
one of the hottest collector cars on the market, or a hardcore
Pontiac fan who just wants a car that'll provide years of fun!
Included with the sale is a copy of the PHS Documents courtesy of
Pontiac Historical Services. There is also a complete booklet with

Performance package -121 Oyster Interior Trim Package -2DR: Trans
Am Assembled at GM's Van Nuys California manufacturing facility in
1979, this highly optioned WS6 Trans Am, is a very solid car today
and you can tell it hasn't spent any winters in the northwest. Just
by walking around this car and looking in the door jamb and door
bottoms you can tell this TA has always been cared for by its past
owners. We have completed our safety check and lights check on this
car, and all checked out good. We did replace the heater core and
heater hoses as a result of that checklist. Other than that is is
one fine example of a very sought after car. With plenty of Black
ones on the market for sale, you don't come across many red ones
with the Oyster white interiors, not to mention one loaded up with
as many options as this one has. We have had the car up on the lift
looking for the normal rusted out areas, and we found none, which
is another strong sign that this was a west coast car. The
underside has been blacked out and cared for well by its previous
owner. It also has a set of headers on it, to give you that added
muscle car performance and sound through the dual exhaust.
High-quality second generation Trans Ams are red-hot right now with
the value of clean, unique factory correct cars climbing steadily
each year. Enthusiasts are turning to cars like this to round out
their collections or building entire collections around the cars of
their childhood just like this one. With its fantastic body and the
long list of options, this has to be one of the nicest '79 Trans
Ams available in red on the market today! Call Gary at 847-774-9855
to add this one to your collection today.
