Numbers Match 400 V8, 4 Spd, Doc'd, Believed Orig Miles, T-Tops Stock #: 3842-DFW Exterior Color: Starlight Black Interior Color: Camel Body Type: Coupe Transmission: 4 Speed Manual Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 400 V8 Title Condition: Clear Pontiac seemed to be the last automaker to get the news that the horsepower wars were over. This real Y48 code 1979 Trans Am SE WS6 is proof enough. Still packing the numbers matching Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 that made early Trans Ams so special, it's wrapped in the all-black package made famous on the big screen by Burt Reynolds. Today, these cars are seeing a strong surge in values, no doubt driven by nostalgia as buyers finally find the disposable income to buy the cars of their childhood dreams.This particular Poncho is a very nice, code 19 Starlight Black example that combines strong originality with some restored components to deliver an awful lot of car for the money. Bodywork is straight, which is critical in a black car, and gaps are good all around. Even the deck lid spoiler fits well, something that was hard to get right, even when the cars were new. Other than a couple restored components (such as the light housings), the paint is presumed original, and after a full buff and polish has cleaned up really well especially for black and considering its age. And love it or hate it, the gold firebird decal on the hood was the car's defining styling element, and the impact of that 'Screaming Fire Chicken' is certainly still felt when this black beauty is cruising down the boulevard. If you've been waiting your whole life to own one, this is a great choice.
Code 62 Camel was the interior of choice with your all-black Trans Am (just like the Smokey and the Bandit car), and it looks simply amazing in this car. The seats are supple and comfortable, and there are no splits or tears anywhere in the interior, which is truly remarkable in an original car of this age. Door panels are also great, and the carpets are undamaged by the sun or major wear. The original gauges are all fully functional (even the clock works!) and live inside a dashboard dressed up by Pontiac's traditional engine-turned panel which is gold-toned to complement the striping on the exterior. An AM/FM stereo radio, ice cold factory A/C upgraded with R134a refrigerant, power windows and locks, a tilt steering column, and a center console that houses the 4-speed manual shifter round out the impressive list of equipment in this Trans Am, and sans the power locks, it's all in excellent operating condition. And despite being a T-top car, the interior is largely free of the squeaks and rattles that often plague the open cars and the roof panels fit quite well. The carpeted trunk is outfitted as the factory did it, including a space-saver spare with jack assembly.
In 1979, Pontiac's 400 cubic inch V8 was making a more-than-decent 220 horsepower (especially for the end of the era, as this motor was truly the last of the American muscle-car Big V8s) and this desirable motor (the 400 was the one you wanted, not the Olds-borrowed 403) is paired with a Muncie M21 4-speed manual transmission. The numbers-matching engine was coated in Pontiac Turquoise paint at the factory and still carries its original valve covers and shaker-style hood scoop. The rest of the engine bay is exceptionally original, and a recent service in 2018/2019 (with multiple receipts) means that it's running like it should. And although it's very difficult to 100% authenticate, the mileage is believed to be original, and judging by the preponderance of evidence related to it's original condition, and the fact that it fires right up and runs superbly, we can certainly see the argument. The 4-speed shifts cleanly, and the WS6 option Trans Am was proof that Americans were starting to discover handling in addition to simple brute horsepower, with big sway bars at both ends, a tighter steering box gear ratio, and 4-wheel power disc brakes that were new for the 1979 WS6 model. With an H-pipe dual exhaust and Xlerator mufflers, nicely detailed suspension and brake components, and those gorgeous Year One gold snowflake wheels wrapped in white-letter BFGoodrich T/A radials, this is still a car that gets respect on the streets, even 40 years later. Legends tend to be like that.
Documented with maintenance records, PHS docs, owner's manuals, an original warranty card, and a factory buildsheet, this is an incredible find. Check your price books and you'll find that this car is priced right and is a smart investment for the future. Give us a call today and we'll be happy to tell you all about it!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
