This 1979 10th Anniversary Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is powered by
its matching-numbers original 6.6-liter V8 engine paired with a
3-speed automatic transmission. This is one of 5,683 Collector's
Edition Trans Ams built in 1979. They were chosen to pace the
Daytona 500 in 1979. They were the first Firebird to retail at over
$15,000 and introduced 4-wheel disc brakes and real leather seats
with custom embroidering for the first time. This example is
equipped with air conditioning, power windows and locks. It is
still rolling on the original 15x8 turbine-style wheels. It is also
equipped with the WS6 package, including 4-wheel disc brakes,
limited-slip rear ends, and the special-edition two-tone paint and
decals. Other options include AM/FM/8-track stereo, intermittent
wipers, tilt steering, mirrored T-Tops and power trunk release.
This one-family-owned car has been properly preserved and stored
since it was new. The original owner was a GMAC employee who won
the opportunity to purchase this car in the office lottery. After
purchasing the car, she enjoyed it on rare occasions and parked it
in 1981. This well-documented car was purchased on May 15, 1979,
for $10,762.55, which includes the GMAC employee discount. It comes
with PHS paperwork, Build Sheet, books, warranty and purchase
contracts from the original dealer. 782 actual miles. ** PREVIEW
