1979 Pontiac Trans Am TRANS Am

Over the past couple of months since we rescued this beautiful original 1979 Nocturne Blue Metallic (rare color) with light blue hobnail interior Trans Am, we have spent countless hours refurbishing where possible and replacing where necessary parts to bring this beautiful classic back to her former glory. The car had three owners prior to me and they were all friends. The car was owned by the third owner since 1985 and has been off the road and in his garage for almost 30 years, since 1989. The car does have headers on it that have been on it most of its life. The car does need repainted to make it a show car, but is presentable as an original paint car also. The interior is original and can be properly seen in the pictures. The last picture looking through the rear window shows a small 1" or less tear in the top of the rear seat. I think this could be repaired, it is not very noticeable. The t-top bags are still with the car. The plastics have been re-dyed as they were sun and just age faded. The carpet rear shelf package tray and headliner were also replaced to complete the freshing of the interior. Everything works as it should, AC/heater, speedometer, tachometer, even the clock moves ( it just doesn't keep time). There is no rust or rot that we have found on the car and we have had all of the interior out of the car. The prior owner told us that the paint is original and that there was no rot anywhere on the car. He also stated that the car had never been in an accident. Unfortunately carfax and others don't typically have records going back 40 years. I am going to try to list all of the work and or parts repaired or that we have replaced over the past couple of months to give you an idea of the work that has gone into this beautiful classic pony/ muscle car. If you have any addition questions or are interested in additional specific pictures, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. The car will also be for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early and sell to a local buyer. Thank you and good luck!
