Pontiac Trans Am 1979
General description :
For sale in our Fort Lauderdale showroom is this beautiful 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Haven’t we all dreamed about this car when we watched Burt Reynolds driving it through the country? Most of us never stopped dreaming and here is your chance to make your dream become true. This is the real deal - an original Black & Gold Special Edition Trans Am (Y84 code) with factory Fisher T-Tops (code CC1). Under the hood you will find the 6.6L V8 engine (Z code) that is mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. It is super much fun to drive around in this Trans Am. The manual transmission will give you more control over the 6.6 liters and the performance of the car is so much better compared to an automatic tranny. See people smile when passing by and there is a great possibility that you will have a couple of Coors beer trucks following you – hey, isn’t this another dream??? Of course, the car comes in black with golden decals, the chicken on the hood and the snowflake wheels. Overall this is a beautiful driver that comes with lots of goodies for a comfortable ride. Besides a cold A/C you will find an AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player, Power Brakes, Power Windows, Tilt Wheel, Power Steering and more. The story tells that this is a two-owner car that was original build in the Van Nuys, California plant on the fourth week of May. The mileage of just over 70k is believed to be original. The Trans Am comes with a visible rust-free undercarriage. A solid car that is ready for the next Bandit to continue the good care. One great piece of automobile/movie history to add to your collection or to park it in your garage. For any questions contact us and we are happy to discuss the car. Let it ride!!!
