This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am is a 6.6L V8 example finished in Cameo White over blue with 84,335 miles. The seller purchased the car in 2009 with 79K miles and had the original engine, transmission, and Positraction rear end rebuilt at Hollywood Machine Shop in Pasadena, CA. The car is believed to retain most of its factory paint and all of its original panels, though there is a sizable dent on the driver’s door. The seller describes the car as a survivor with no major modifications. It is sold with service records dating back to 2009 and a clean California title.

Factory white paint has aged well and all panels are believed original based on a thorough inspection performed by the seller. The car is said to be rust-free with a solid body pan.

Paint is also largely original with the exception of the two front fenders and flares, which appear to have been redone years ago. The mufflers have been moved from their original location, but remain in good shape.

A dent in the driver’s door was on the car when purchased in 2009 and has not been repaired. The rest of the body is quite straight with a scratch on the lower passenger door, a small dent on the bottom of the right fender, and other wear consistent with its age.

The interior is unrestored and is presentable for a driver. The B&M shifter pictured above has been removed and an OEM unit has been re-installed. Seats appear to have been swapped from a different car.

The A/C is not fully hooked-up and does not work, though all parts are included. The dash pad is cracked and the original stereo is inoperable. New speakers are also needed.

The 403CI 6.6L V8 engine and 350 TH automatic transmission remain in the car and were rebuilt in 2009 along with the Positraction rear end. The engine rebuild was kept to OEM specifications apart from .20 over pistons. The suspension bushings and body mounts were also replaced at the same time.

Rebuild work was performed by Steve Fekete at Hollywood Machine Shop, who is a personal friend of the seller. The car is said to be in good running and driving condition overall. Electric engine fans have been fitted and the original unit is included with the sale.

The seller has added around 5k miles during his ownership. The oil was changed earlier this year and some service records are included with the sale.
