    Congratulations on a very special beautiful car, and thanks to your dad for the great job! I have to share my own 79 Trans Am story with you. It was 1979 and I was 17 years old and a die hard Pontiac fan. I drove by our local Pontiac dealer and there sat a 1979 10th anniversary Trans Am, the two tone silver and gray one. My mom was with me and I had to stop and look at it. I was literally drooling on the car when the owner came out and said “wanna take it for a ride”? Needless to say I accepted his offer and I’ll never forget that brief ride in a new Trans Am. The 79 has always been special to me. As a quick side note, I ran into the son of the dealer a few years back and we were talking about the car, turned out that he never sold it and still owned it! Enjoy yours, it’s a beauty!
