In
1999,
Pontiac made the most beautiful
limited edition
collectors 30th
Anniversary
Trans AM
as a tribute to the
first Trans Am in 1969 as they were white with blue stripes.
There were only a total of 535 Convertible 30th's. This is
an authentic, 1 of 360, 30th's with the automatic transmission. Considerably
more beautiful and much more rare than the
Yellow Collectors
Edition
in 2002.
This particular car is # 1274 of only
1600 cars that were produced and 1 of 535 convertibles made for this special
production model. Even more rare, it is 1 of 35
convertibles produced for the Canadian Market. Full PHS Documentation
including copy of invoice and the name and address of the Canadian Dealer
where it was sold new are included with the car.
30th T/A Package (RPO Z4C ) includes the
following:
All Z4C options were placed on top of the base
30th vehicle, an Artic White WS6 T/A Ram air car. The most notable off all
the contents of this package were the 17" high polished aluminum wheels with
medium blue tint. Dual two-tone blue stripes run the length of the car from
the deck lid to the front of the hood the end in the Pontiac screaming
chicken. Convertible owners get a beautiful navy blue ragtop only available
on the 30ths. White leather prado seats with blue stitching help provide a
nice cabin for the driver with specially embroidered smooth headrests. White
"perf" vinyl door inserts with blue thread topstitching set the door off.
There are specific 30th T/A floor mats in the front. On the black rear
trim panel is a white bird with TransAm lettering specific to only the 30th
T/A. A unique blue WS6 emblem adorns the right rear of the car. Each door of
the car has a 30th Anniversary badge on it; with cloissone blue, white bird,
and chrome graphics. Each car also received a specifically numbered (4
digit) plaque underneath the radio above the additional accessory outlet.
The only 3 options are a 12 disc changer, Traction control, and a Hurst
shifter. My car does not have the hurst shifter.

LS1 engine 5.7 liter V8 with 320hp and 345lb-ft of torque

The 30th Anniversary Edition Trans Am is the
LAST Anniversary Edition of the Trans Am. Although GM is bringing
back the Camaro in 2009, there are NO PLANS currently for a new
Firebird. Also keep in mind, GM Pontiac had an agreement with the SCCA
dating back to 1969 for using the "Trans Am" name from the Trans Am Racing
series. This agreement ended with the final 2002 Pontiac Trans Am and
would be cost prohibitive if a new agreement would be drawn up with the SCCA
today.
The condition of my car is in good condition
given it has just over 60k miles. Everything works and you can tell
this car has been taken care of. I have owned it for a little over 1
year and it has been kept in the garage. Car has new tires and I had
it serviced at the dealership with receipts over $1k for routine maintenance
including 60k service. As you can see in the pics, the top and
interior is in excellent condition and has no rips or tears. A/C blows
cold, and car has lots of power.
Why am I selling? Really dont want to
sell it, but I dont drive it as much and I just bought a Shelby Hertz
Mustang. I am a car collector/enthusiast, you can see my collection at
UltimateCarCollection.com
The 1999 Pontiac Trams Am 30th Anniversary
Edition is a rare car, with a grand total of 1600 made. 1065 coupes,
535 convertibles. Out of those numbers, 65 coupes and 35 convertibles
were built for the Canadian market. My car is 1 out of 35. A
future classic and appreciating roughly 10% a year now!!
