Vehicle Description
Are you looking for the holly grail of Pace cars? well
you just found the one!
This is the FIRST Trans Am 10th
Anniversary 4 Speed built by Pontiac
Van Nuys plant in CA
and the actual Pace Car delivered
to Daytona Speedway for the 22nd Daytona 500 mile race,
Pontiac Historian and NFTAC Tech Advisor John Witzke
listed the vin numbers of this cars (see article below)
. Pontiac only built 1,817 units like this, being the
first one built in Van Nuys vin 2X87Z9L130778. Also you
should know that 1979 was the last year Pontiac offered
the 400 ci block , which was a
true
Pontiac engine,
not an Oldsmobile, and was only available on manual
transmission cars.
The
history behind this car is amazing and the amount of
documentation is overwhelming. This Trans Am as
explained by Mrs Joyce, former owner of this car , was
the Demo car not only used in most of the advertising
for the new Limited edition Trans am 10th anniversary,
this was the actual car that was on the circuit on
February 18 1979, even the ticket ticket for the
box seats for the race day comes with the car. Mrs Joyce
was kind enough to provide a notarized letter explaining
the purchase of the car back in 79 from Mcnamara Pontiac
in Orlando, FL , just scroll down and you will be
able to read it . This car went into an extensive show
quality restoration at the end of the 1990's , the
restoration was done sourcing all the parts from Pontiac
(all invoices are included), we can say the the paint
job in this car is one of the best we have seen,
receipts for exterior work in excess of $12k, it
is top quality, all the sheet metal appears intact
including the factory pinch welded rear quarters,
absolutely zero rust. The interior was also redone and
is show quality, everything works , even the power
antenna that usually stopped working soon after
you purchased models with this option, this one works! all power
options work as it should, engine bay is also
detailed and is perfect show quality , underside is as good as the top, you can put
mirrors on the floor to admire the
impeccable undercarriage.
Car has only around 48k original miles and looks, drives
and smells like new. In a nutshell this is a car that
has a high historical value, it comes extremely well
documented with a huge file of documents, including 2
original build sheets, PHS window sticker, original
purchase documents showing the car was a dealer demo,
all the registrations and titles from day one (always a
Florida car) , photos of restoration and original
factory owners manuals and brochures, don't miss this
one!
