This Trans Am has no visible rust and is very solid with great lines and gaps. This Trans Am is finished in the beautiful and desirable color combinations of Starlight Black (code 19) over Black deluxe interior. This is the factory color scheme as verified on the trim tag pictured above and included PHS documents. This is one of the most sought after collectible TA’s on the market being the last of the 400 4 speed cars, 1 of only 2485 ever made with hardtop. Very importantly the original engine and original four speed transmission are still in the car. This TA is in show condition and even comes with the factory GM cassette stereo with factory cb option. This TA came with snowflake wheels and those wheels were sent out and refurbished by the previous owner but unfortunately they were stolen out of his truck on his way home from picking them up. He wanted to find date coated correct OEM snowflake wheels and installed these Cragar wheels with new tires in the meantime a few years ago. I was having a set of OEM snowflake wheels refurbished but it did not work out and have a new set of Year One wheels on order but they are still on back order. That is why these Cragar wheels are on this fantastic TA.

Exterior

The Black exterior is in terrific overall show condition. This Trans Am has gorgeous paint and is in beautiful overall condition. The paint is in excellent condition and shows no signs of visible rust anywhere on the body with no bubbling paint and both bumpers are in excellent shape. The decals still look new and are in excellent shape. The paint has an excellent shine and gloss and is smooth to the touch. There may be some minor imperfections that may not be noticeable in the photos, but nothing was intentionally excluded from the photos. The tires have full tread left and are like new and sized 225/70/15 and the Cragar wheels are like new with less than 50 miles on them. All weather stripping and window sweeps are like new. Trunk is very solid and clean with the original space saver spare tire and jack, with a correct felt trunk mat and the inflator bottle which is almost always missing.

Interior

The Black deluxe interior of this Trans Am is in like new excellent original condition. The original seat covers are in excellent condition with no no noticeable wear. These are the original hobnail deluxe cloth seat covers not some cheap aftermarket covers. The original carpet looks great with no stains, rips, or major holes. The original dash is in like new condition with no fading or warping and the dash bezel is in show condition as well. The original cassette stereo with factory CB option is still in the car and works great and looks awesome and the CB is a rare option in these cars. The original door panels are in excellent shape and both door pulls are solid and in tact. The headliner and package tray are in like new condition. All interior lights and gauges work as they should. The stereo, horn, wipers, power windows, and blower motor also work. Even the cigarette lighter works which is rarely the case. This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma what so ever.

Mechanical

This Trans Am is in excellent mechanical condition and comes with the original Pontiac 400 engine and the original four speed manual transmission. The engine runs very well and pulls strong and the car handles great being a factory WS6 car. A new clutch was installed some years ago and the brakes were serviced with new calipers and pads in 2016. We have driven this car numerous times and it always performs well, it does not run hot, rides tight, and always a joy to drive, especially with the four speed manual transmission. In the video one can observe this car running and driving with no excessive rattles or noises, and the car handles and performs well. This Trans Am is an great driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. It starts right away every time, idles well, and runs great. The 4 wheel disk brakes do not pull and stop as they should and were serviced in 2016 with new calipers and pads. Newer Flowmaster dual exhaust was added and it has an amazing exhaust note at idle and cruising speeds. Also, the engine is clean and nicely detailed as one can see from the photos. This is a factory AC car and all the components are in place and the AC system was serviced in 2016 and a new compressor was added.
