Pontiac made them, Hollywood made them famous and, over 30 years later, they're still awesome to drive and be seen in. Value curves have been heading skyward for awhile now, lead by cars like this awesome '79 Trans Am SE. Unrestored with just 31,357 actual miles, they don't get more authentic than this.

Assembled at GM's Van Nuys, California manufacturing facility, this well-optioned Trans Am met its first owner through Schneider-Gilbert Pontiac in El Paso, Texas. A southwestern life has left the car rust-free with straight panels and factory set panel gaps. The Starlight Black paint has received some non-factory help over the years but over half of it remains Van Nuys shot.

For 1979, Pontiac did a bit of Trans Am tweaking. A mildly revised front end features a straight and glossy urethane front bumper with the familiar quad headlight setup anchored by a traditional red Pontiac arrow. . At the back of the car, correct molding frames an electrically defrosted rear window above a correct black valence that's complete with factory blacked out tail lights.

Under the hood, the original 400cid V8 remains planted in the subframe. Rated at 220hp and 320lb ft of torque, this made the T/A one of the strongest runners of its day. The bay is clean for an unrestored car, with a mix of satin black and metallic blue highlighting the hard parts. Turn the key and the engine comes to life, offering a surprisingly subdued rumble at idle.

Underneath the car, the original Borg Warner T10 remains attached to the 400 while, out back a 10-bolt Safe-T-Track differential packs 3.23 gears. . Around the drivetrain, Pontiac's legendary WS6 performance suspension offers larger sway bars, better shocks and springs, a tighter steering gear box and new-for-1979 power front and rear disc brakes. Combined with power steering and BFG Radial TA tires wrapped around gold snow flake wheels, this T/A gets around corners with ease.

Open those long doors and a factory fresh Camel Tan cloth interior comes into view. Unrestored with very little visible wear, the cabin remains just as Van Nuys assembled it. Options include supportive bucket seats, power windows and locks, air conditioning, a tilt column and an AM/FM stereo with tape player. From the carpet to the T-tops, everything remains dealership fresh.

From an original build sheet to warranty info and an owners manual, there is plenty of original paperwork with the car. Also included information from PHS which offers further insight into the cars history.

High quality second generation Trans Ams are red-hot right now with the value of clean, unique factory correct cars climbing steadily each year. Don't miss the chance to take home one of the best! Call, click or visit: [ Ссылка ] for more information!
