1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition — Rare W72 400 4-Speed, 1 of 1,817

Here is a rolling monument to late-’70s American swagger, presented exactly the way discerning collectors dream of finding one — a genuine 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Edition, one of just 1,817 ever produced. Most 10th Anniversary cars left the factory with the Oldsmobile 403 and an automatic. Not this one. This is the holy-grail combination: the legendary, ultra-rare W72 Pontiac 400 backed by a Borg-Warner Super T-10 four-speed with a factory Hurst shifter. Pontiac stockpiled a handful of these true 400ci engines just to give the anniversary car the send-off it deserved, making this the absolute last year you could pair a real Pontiac big block with a clutch pedal. Slide into those silver leather “spacesuit” seats, pop the T-tops, and imagine adding this iconic screaming-chicken legend to your own collection.
