Vinyl InteriorThrough the 1970s, the 6.6-liter Pontiac Trans Am had been the lone heavyweight, dishing out big-displacement knockouts as all other contenders retired. But before the party ended in the 1980's, Pontiac served up one last round of the top-shelf stuff and called it "The 10th Anniversary Limited Edition." Along with its special paint treatment, graphics, wheels, and more, this would be among the last of the Trans Ams offered with the "T/A 6.6" 400 engine. As a collectible car from the 1970s, the anniversary Trans Am stands out in terms of desirability and value. The 400 version, sold exclusively with a Borg-Warner Super T-10, is the scarcest, and typically commands the most money.
The big news in '79 was the anniversary Trans Am in a never-before-seen silver-and-charcoal scheme with a "super bird" on the hood-so called because its wing tips extended onto the tops of the front fenders. A new cast-aluminum turbo wheel design measuring 15 x 8 inches was employed. Inside, floor-to-ceiling silver-and-gray tones echo the exterior. Special red lighting for the instruments, inspired by aircraft, was also part of the deal.
Of the 7,500 anniversary cars built, 1,817 had the 400/T-10 combo. Powering this Trans Am is a 400-cubic-inch V8 engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission, making it one of only 1,817 Trans Ams would leave the factory with a 4-speed manual transmission in 1979. The transmission feeds into a 3.23 rear axle with posi-traction rear end.
