My first new car was a firebird, 1987, red, with t-tops... I was skimming through local auctions and found this one: A family owned car dealership is being cleared out, including their main display, a 1979 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am Y89 with only 6.7 miles! Evidently it was delivered in March of 1979 and hasn't seen pavement since. DH was
when I showed him the pics. He's betting it'll go for $40-50K (no reserve auction). I think we're going to go, just to watch the bidding. Here's the link to the pics.: http://www.beckortauctions.com/index.php?subp=1&sct=1548&pg=ap&pid=22184&ap_sub=fp
Here's the auctioneer's description:
FEATURE: A true time capsule, its like stepping back in time! A 1979 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am Y89 with only 6.7 miles! This Pontiac has not seen pavement since its delivery on March 21, 1979 and is still housed on the former dealerships showroom floor.
One of only 1,817 in production, this silver 79 Trans Am 400/4 speed manual transmission car is a true survivor, and has virtually remained untouched, except for routine maintenance. The car still has its factory installed steering wheel and seat covers. It sells with original battery and Goodyear Polysteel radials still intact. The original keys have not yet been punched out.
Documentation is quite extensive and includes: dealer data sheet, delivery card, factory invoice, original window stickers (still in place), numerous pieces of sales literature, service manual, supplement sheet, etc. It doesnt get any better than this if you appreciate low-mileage all original survivors -- maybe the lowest mileage one in existence!
Original MSRP: $10,619.55
VIN: 2X87Z9N157727
