Collectors and muscle car enthusiasts will have a rare opportunity to bid on three of the finest examples of Pontiac Trans Am heritage as they cross the auction block this weekend in Houston.
Leading the trio is a virtually untouched 1979 Pontiac Trans Am T-top, a showroom survivor that has become something of a legend in Southern Indiana. Delivered new to Kitterman Motor Co. in Corydon, Indiana, the silver T-top coupe remained on display inside the dealership’s showroom from March 28, 1979, until the business was liquidated on July 2, 2011. Since leaving the dealership, the car has been stored in a climate-controlled facility and has only 6.9 miles on the odometer. It retains all original documentation, including the window sticker and delivery records, and features the desirable Pontiac 400 engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission and 10th Anniversary package.
Joining it is a 1975 Pontiac Trans Am finished in white, showing just 9,700 miles and equipped with a manual transmission. Though less documented than its 1979 counterpart, this example offers pristine presentation and low mileage that is increasingly hard to find among mid-’70s Trans Ams.
Completing the lineup is a fully restored 1973 Pontiac Trans Am finished in red and powered by a robust 455 cubic inch V8 producing 430 horsepower. It is backed by a Muncie M-20 four-speed manual transmission and power steering. One of just 4,802 built for the 1973 model year, this example has been comprehensively restored and represents an early and highly collectible iteration of the Trans Am legacy.
All three cars are expected to draw significant interest from collectors eager to own a slice of American performance history.
