Vehicle Description
Stock Number: 288
There are only 16,626 miles on the Trans AM. It is 1 of only 2.917
available in 1979. That is less than 3% of the production for 1979.
That makes this Pontiac a real collectable. Trans AM's optioned
like these are considered some of the most collectible of the late
2nd Gen TA's on the market. 1979 marked the culmination of the Best
features built into one TA and also marked the end of the Big
Pontiac V8's. The W72 400 was never to be seen again. The WS6
handling option received the highly desirable 4 Wheel Disc Brakes
and this put the Trans AM into a new class or performance cars.
With it torque and deep rumble, the 400ci Pontiac was the biggest
engine of the year for GM in a Sports Car. Even the Corvette would
only be offered with a 350ci V8.
This TA is a solid Survivor that we rescued from long term storage.
It had sat such a long time that it did require some detailing and
freshening up. We set out to replace what needed replacing and did
this always keeping an eye on the originality of the car. We kept
the majority of the paint original. So you will see minor flaws and
patina on this TA. But this also helped keep the pure survivor look
and also helped keep the cost down on this rare TA. The engine
really needed freshening up do to sitting in the same position for
so many years, so we decided to do it right. It was treated to a
stock rebuild by our expert staff here at RAMC. New Wheels, Tires
and Interior updates like carpet, headliner, package tray were all
installed. Mechanical systems like Brakes, Cooling system, Heater
core and more were all installed New. Quite honestly, the list of
NEW items on this car is endless. So if you want a beautiful low
mileage, collectible and fun to drive TA, this is the one you have
been waiting for.
