Description
We are pleased to present a rare and exceptional 1979 Pontiac Trans Am, featuring a factory-installed 4-speed manual transmission and its original, matching-numbers Pontiac 301 engine. This vehicle is an outstanding example of automotive history with a remarkably low, verified mileage of just 9,065 miles. Only 1,503 Trans Am models were produced with this specific configuration, combining the factory 4-speed manual transmission with the Pontiac 301 engine and Fisher T-Tops.
Distinctive Features and Provenance
This Trans Am is distinguished by its retention of the original Pontiac 301 engine and the 4-speed manual transmission, both featuring matching VIN stamps. The vehicle is presented in its largely original condition and is adorned with a rare color combination of Nocturne Blue over a Black deluxe cloth interior. The car has been meticulously maintained by a single owner for over two decades, accumulating fewer than 1,000 additional miles during that period.
The exterior of this Trans Am is predominantly original, featuring its original paint, decals, and emblems. The paint is well-preserved, reflecting a consistent shine and gloss that stands up well to scrutiny for its age. Both bumpers are in excellent condition, and the front bumper grilles are intact. Minor imperfections may exist but do not detract from the overall appearance. The tires are virtually new, measuring 235/60/15, and the wheels are free of curb damage, with the center caps and lug nuts in good shape. All weatherstripping, including window sweeps, door seals, T-top seals, and trunk seals, is intact. The trunk itself is very solid, featuring a full-size spare tire, jack, and an original trunk mat. The vehicle’s undercarriage is in superb condition, free of rust and showing no signs of prior rust repairs. Several factory tags and markings remain, typical of vehicles with low mileage and original parts.
Interior Details
The interior of this Trans Am is a testament to its original condition, with the Black deluxe cloth upholstery remaining in excellent shape. The seat covers are original, providing comfort and support, while the seat foam remains in good condition. The carpet is as good as new, without any issues. The dashboard is in pristine condition, free from cracks, warping, or fading, and the dashboard bezel is also well-preserved. The original door panels are in great condition, with both door pulls remaining solid. The headliner is intact, and the package tray, which includes upgraded 6×9 speakers, is original and well-maintained. The stereo system has been updated to a modern digital Kenwood unit with new speakers, offering excellent sound quality. All interior lighting and gauges function correctly, and the horn, stereo, wipers, and blower motor operate without issue. The clock, a rarity for its functionality, is also working.
Mechanical Excellence
Mechanically, this Trans Am remains in excellent condition, with its original Pontiac 301 engine and 4-speed manual transmission still present. The car performs well, exhibiting a smooth ride and responsive handling, without any overheating issues. The engine bay maintains much of its originality, featuring numerous factory tags and markings that are characteristic of low-mileage vehicles. The factory-installed 4-wheel disc brakes operate effectively, with no pulling to either side. The exhaust system appears to be factory-original, with all components in place and functioning. The catalytic converter remains installed, and the engine is clean and detailed. Notably, this is a non-air conditioning vehicle, which enhances engine bay cleanliness and overall performance. Recent maintenance includes the installation of a new fuel pump, though the heater core has been bypassed. This vehicle has been carefully maintained, stored in a garage, and shows a high level of care and attention from previous owners. The original condition and driving experience of this Trans Am underscore its exceptional preservation and the dedicated care it has received.
Conclusion
This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am represents a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike. With its factory 4-speed manual transmission, matching-numbers Pontiac 301 engine, and unique Nocturne Blue paint, this vehicle stands as a distinguished example of automotive heritage. The low mileage, original condition, and meticulous maintenance history further enhance its appeal. This Trans Am is a compelling choice for those seeking a well-preserved classic that exemplifies the best of Pontiac’s legacy during the late 1970s.
