A remarkably preserved 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition, showing just 7 original miles, has emerged from decades of climate-controlled storage as one of the most significant untouched examples of Pontiac’s muscle car legacy.
Finished in silver with the iconic T-top roof, this limited-production Trans Am was originally delivered to Kitterman Motor Co. in Corydon, Indiana on March 28, 1979. Instead of heading to a customer, it was placed in the showroom—where it remained on static display for 32 years. The car became a local landmark, attracting enthusiasts and curious passersby alike as it sat untouched behind glass.
When the dealership was liquidated in 2011, the car was relocated to a private, climate-controlled collection, where it has been meticulously maintained ever since. In the 46 years since it left the factory, it has accumulated just 6.9 actual miles, never having been registered for road use.
This Trans Am is powered by the highly sought-after 400 cubic-inch Pontiac V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission—an increasingly rare combination for the final year of factory Pontiac big-block production. Additional features include air conditioning, power windows, power steering, and the full 10th Anniversary package, making it one of the most desirable Trans Ams ever produced.
What sets this example apart even further is its complete documentation. Included are the original window sticker, delivery paperwork, dealer order acknowledgment, transport receipt, owner’s manual, and more—forming a complete and unbroken pedigree.
Now being offered for sale, this Trans Am represents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a showroom-new 1970s muscle car icon. For collectors, it is more than a vehicle—it is a time capsule, perfectly preserved from the golden era of American performance. See it here.
