Pontiac seemed to be the last automaker to get the news that the horsepower wars were over. This survivor WS4 1979 Trans Am is proof enough, and with what is believed to be 139k actual miles, there may not be a better representation of that pedigree out on the market and at this price point. Still packing its original 400 cubic inches and riding high on Burt Reynolds' famous stunts, these cars are seeing a strong surge in values, no doubt driven by nostalgia as buyers finally find the disposable income to buy the cars of their childhood dreams.
This is a very well-preserved code 50 Solar Gold example that combines strong originality with careful low ownership to deliver an awful lot of car for the money. The body is straight, pretty much exactly how it left the factory, which is critical on a car with a crease running from nose to tail, and gaps are good all around. Even the deck lid spoiler fits well, something that was hard to get right, even when the cars were new. And love it or hate it, the giant 'Screaming Chicken' Firebird decal on the hood was the car's defining styling element, and it appears to have been untouched since it left the dealer, with a gentle patina accrued through the years. That goes for the paint as well, it all looks like a very well-presented survivor-grade finish, with some potential signs of newer paint on one fender. With that smooth urethane front end, a dedicated lack of chrome or stainless trim, and judicious use of decals, this particular survivor T/A is very attractive and looks fast just standing still. When this sucker appears in your rear view mirror, you move!
Tan was the interior of choice with your Solar Gold Trans Am, and the very attractive vinyl upholstery inside this survivor is further proof of a gentle life. The seats are supple and comfortable and although there are some minor signs of use that should be expected in an older vehicle, there's nothing that needs to be replaced or refreshed in our opinion. Door panels are also great, and the carpets are virtually undamaged by the sun or wear thanks to original rubber mats. All those super-cool original gauges are still in place ahead of the driver, and live inside a dashboard dressed up by Pontiac's traditional engine-turned panel which remains bright. A modern Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo radio and speaker system is the sole upgrade inside and it works along with the CB radio, the factory R12 A/C still blows cold, and a factory Poncho steering wheel atop a tilt column rounds out the options list. The center console is great shape and houses what is arguably the coolest part of this car: the 4-speed shifter, and out back the rear seats look like they've barely seen any passengers in the last 40+ years. In the trunk, this T/A still carries a space-saver spare in the nicely finished compartment.
In 1979, 4-speed cars got a genuine Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 making a robust 220 horsepower, one of the biggest figures of the day. The numbers-matching engine looks quite original and still carries its correct shaker-style hood scoop that is one of the most iconic looks in the automotive world. The rest of the engine bay is very tidy, with plenty of signs of proper maintenance over the years but no abuse or major modifications. The Borg Warner Super T10 close ratio 4-speed shifts cleanly, and the Trans Am was proof that Americans were starting to discover handling in addition to simple brute horsepower. Power steering and power front disc brakes improve road manners, and this baby can still hit the curves with confidence thanks to proper care underneath. With a freshened dual exhaust and throaty Flowmaster mufflers it sounds like you'd expect a muscle car to sound, and those gorgeous gold snowflake wheels, this is still a car that gets respect on the streets, even 42 years later. Legends are like that.
Check your price books and you'll find that this car is a screaming bargain, with values that are on the move, especially on cars with original provenance like this one: window sticker, warranty card, bill of sale. Original, fast, and fun, the '70s are red hot in the Pontiac department. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
