Pontiac Trans Am 1979 Description

Bid with confidence on this Very Clean, nd Fast 1979 Firebird Trans Am (Clone)

If you are looking for a numbers matching original car this is not your car, ut if you’re looking for a beautiful Trans AM replica car with speed capabilities this is the one for you!!!!

This car may have begun life as a base Firebird model but has been transformed into a beautiful Trans Am model using all GM parts. The car spent most of its life in central Florida (non-salt environment) before I acquired it. I purchased it about 10 years ago and completely restored. The restoration was fairly easy as the car was rust free due to the prime location it spent most of it life in. From the time I restored the car I continued to make enhancement to it which have made it into a very spectacular fun street or strip car. I would give this car 8 out of 10 just because it has had around 10 thousand additional miles put on it since the restore and has some very slight imperfection in the paint finish for normal driving wear and tear conditions. I have enjoyed this car in so many ways, irst by simply driving it around town (always turning heads, nd receiving many thumbs up), r taking it to local cars show where it has won several trophies through the years, any local cruse nights, everal weekend summer extended cruses, nd several fun days at the local ¼ mile track with run times reaching 11.5 seconds.

The car has around 90K original miles on it, nd less than 10K has been applied in the last 10 years. It has never been driven in bad weather and stored over winter months in my heated garage.

I believe I have over $30k invested in the car but know that I will never get the full investment back out, ut no worries, s I have had LOTS of fun over the years I’ve owned it.

Originally I never planned on selling this car, ut I have recently changed my mind for the reason that I am planning to retire to Florida soon and looking to take the money from this car and invest in a boat to enjoy the local Florida water activities.

Below is a list of the highlights of the car, nd I am sure I will miss a few things as so many things have been done to this car.
