1979 Pontiac Trans Am - Gold 6.6 V8 403 w/T-tops
1979 Pontiac Trans Am Description:
For sale is my 1979 gold Trans Am, a diamond in the rough which I am going to miss. This car has had a lot of work done to it and is getting close to reaching its full potential, but it needs an engine rebuild and I can't throw any more money at it. Interior is in good shape for its age, only one dash crack; I have some interior parts for the armrests, seatbelt guides, etc. that I will include with the sale. Big updates include the following:
- Newly rebuilt original transmission with performance part upgrades
- New Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust - sounds awesome
- Upgraded headers
- New set of four BF Goodrich Radial TA tires
- New window motor
- New starter
- New water pump
- New battery
- New belts, hoses and gaskets
Things still to be done:
- Engine rebuild - the engine spun a bearing about a mile from the garage. Shop pulled the pan and believes cam is still good.
- Finish rust repair and priming and paint body; undercarriage is good and remaining body rust minimal
- Replace original window and door seals
- Some gauges are not reading - believe this is due to dirty points but haven't checked out yet
- AC not working - heater blows hot air but fan speed doesn't adjust
- Rear sway bar needs to be installed back into its brackets w/new bushings and links
I also have several boxes of parts that I will include with the sale, including a fan and fan clutch to replace the existing fan, which was drawing off hp from the engine. I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have about the car, so feel free to message me.
