Year:1979 Mileage:30500
Location:

Delaware, Ohio, United States

Delaware, Ohio, United States

For sale is a gorgeous 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am with 30,000 miles. 403 cu auto. I believe I am the second or third owner of this car. I purchased it in Minnesota. I have a copy of the original sales order. I have retrieved the original build sheet which was inside the back seat. I have the original warranty info that went to the first owner who allegedly was the President of the Minnesota Trans Am club at one time.

Body & Paint - This car was professionally repainted in '03' due to a large scratch on the fender along with a new decal set. When it came back from the paint shop, it looked like it came from the factory! The paint is in excellent condition. It does have some small chips on the rear fender flare. This catches every little rock when you are driving. This car is as clean and straight as you will ever find. Absolutely no rust or bondo at all in this car. Very small scratch above the driver door handle. Doors are straight with no sag or movement.  The car was originally rustproofed at the dealer when new. A few light scratches in the T-TOPS but it's not really noticeable.

Mechanical - The Odometer says 30,500 miles. I got it in '03' it had about 23k miles. I put a new radiator on it, new rear seal and transmission pan gasket. The mechanic that worked on it said internally the engine showed little wear. The oil is always very clean and I keep it that way. I would recommend the carburetor have a rebuild on it because of it's age. I have noticed that the transmission pan gasket is leaks a few drops when it sits for a while. The front end is tight with no slop and is extremely responsive. This thing just eats up curves! I put flowmaster mufflers on it and they sound great. I did bypass the heater core because I believe it had a small leak. I don't drive it in cold weather so I have chosen to leave it that way.

The interior is in very good condition. Leather seats are all original. The back passenger seat has a small scratch. It is on the surface. see pic. A couple of small places on the hardback behind the driver seat has a little yellowing from it's age. Also, I had to make a small slice in the carpet on the driver side to clean up a spill on the floor board. It lays down real nice and you really don't know it's there. Overall, the carpet is in excellent condition. The headliner has a few areas where it has come loose. I reapplied some glue to it in some areas.

The radio works great but a couple of the LED segments are burned out. The 8 track worked last time I tried it. The AC was converted to the new Freon and also works.

The tires were new in '03' so they have about 7k miles on them. The RIMS were re-polished at a place that specialized in this.

This is a absolutely beautiful car to drive in the summer and heads turn every time I take it into town. The engine has good power for a car of this era. It's fun to drive! But now it's time for some one else to enjoy it. Please contact me for questions.

Available for inspection by appointment only.

Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer.

The rest is due within 7 days by certified cashiers check.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
