Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this survivor 1979 Trans Am
which is in fantastic original condition with low actual miles of
51,231. This Trans Am has only had one real owner, Mr. Erwin,
from new until his passing in 2016. View all the original
paperwork and documented owner history below. It was gifted
to his grand daughter in 2016 and that title is seen below, it
never left Johnston City IL, until recently. This Trans Am
features all original paint with original decals, a beautiful camel
deluxe cloth original interior, a plethora of original
documentation, and the original numbers matching 403 engine, see
vin stamp photo. This Trans Am is absolutely solid and has no
visible rust anywhere around the car or under the car, and is very
solid with great lines and gaps. Its believed that this TA
has never had any body work done and is all original sheet metal.
This Trans Am is finished in the beautiful and desirable
color combinations of Heritage Brown (code 69) over Camel (code
62B) deluxe cloth interior. This is the factory color scheme
as verified on the trim tag and build sheet pictured below. I
removed the rear seat during detailing and found the original build
sheet tucked behind the rear seat springs almost 40 years ago.
Another great sign of originality and authenticates this TA
for what it was then and what it still is today. The low
mileage is not only validated by the amazing original condition of
this TA but also by the Ohio title pictured below stating the
mileage as "Actual." There are also several receipts pictured
below with mileage documentation.
Exterior
The Heritage Brown exterior is in good overall original condition.
This Trans Am has never had any paintwork done and still
hosts its original sheet metal and original factory graphics.
The paint is in great condition for its age and there are no
signs of visible rust and both bumpers are in good shape with no
flaking paint. There are some door dings and blemishes around
the car as you would expect with original paint. The decals
are in great shape for being nearly 40 years old and still look
great on the car. There are some minor imperfections that are
not noticeable in the photos, but noting was intentionally excluded
from the photos. Tires are brand new and have less than 50
miles on them and are correctly sized 225/70/15. The body colored
Rally II wheels are OEM originals and are in great shape with no
curb rash and have never been restored or painted. All
weather stripping is original and in great shape but the window
sweeps are original and somewhat deteriorated. The trunk is
factory perfect and very solid and clean with the original space
saver spare tire, inflator bottle, jack, with the original trunk
mat. The original speaker insulation is still in place which is
another great sign of originality. The underside of this TA
has not been touched up at all or spray bombed with cheap spray
paint. Its as true and honest as the rest of the car and very
solid and very rust free.
Interior
The Camel deluxe cloth interior of this Trans Am is original and in
excellent condition. The seat covers are factory originals
and in excellent shape for their age and have no major wear or
stains. The carpet is original with no major stains, rips, or
holes. The original dash is in excellent condition with no
cracks or fading and the dash bezel is in excellent condition as
well. The original AM/FM Stereo works great in this TA and
thankfully the dash has not been cut for a modern stereo. The
original door panels are in great condition and both door pulls are
solid and in tact. The headliner is in excellent condition
and not sagging at all and the original package tray is in
like new condition. All interior lights and gauges work as they
should outside of the clock and dome light. The horn, stereo,
wipers, and blower motor on all speeds all work. The original
GM Camel floor mats are still in this TA and in good shape.
Mechanical
This Trans Am is in excellent mechanical condition with only 51,231
actual miles on the original 403 engine. We have driven this
TA numerous times on the streets and highways and it always
performs very well, does not run hot, rides very tight, and is a
true joy to drive. In the video one can observe this car
running and driving with no excessive rattles or noises, and the
car handles and performs very well. This Trans Am is an
exceptional driver that feels great on the road and at highway
speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car.
It starts right away every time, idles well, and runs
excellent. The brakes do not pull and stop as they should.
Also, the engine is clean and nicely detailed as one can see
from the photos. The engine bay is very unmolested and is
very factory correct and a lot of the lines, hoses, and wires are
factory original. This is a factory AC car and all factory
components are still on the car but the system appears to need a
charge to blow cold. This TA has been loved and meticulously
cared for by its previous owner and several receipts come with the
car. The outstanding originality of this TA and the way it
drives is a true testament to prior owners care and love for this
special TA.
