THIS SOLAR GOLD TRANS AM WAS BUILT IN THE GM VAN NUYS CALIFORNIA PLANT ON 4/10/79 AND SHIPPED TO JACK AMICK MOTORS INC. IN AUBURN CALIFORNIA. THIS T/A WAS PURCHASED NEW BY LARRY DOWDRICK ON 5/23/79. MR. DOWDRICK OWNED THIS PONTIAC UNTIL 4/30/2010 ALMOST 31 YEARS! THE SERVICE RECORDS ON THIS CAR IS PHENOMENAL! OVER 100 PIECES!! LARRY KEPT THIS TRANS AM SERVICED LIKE CLOCKWORK. IT WOULD VERY HARD TO CONVEY ALL THE DOCUMENTATION CONCERNING THIS CAR, OWEVER THE NEW OWNER INHERITS ALL OF IT. WE ACQUIRED THIS CAR FROM ANOTHER DEALER ON 2/8/11. I PERSONALLY DROVE THIS CAR THE LAST 4 YEARS BEFORE I DECIDED TO TEAR IT DOWN AND PAINT IT RECENTLY.
SINCE THE CAR WAS ROCK SOLID AND DROVE EXCELLENT I LEFT THE DRIVE TRAIN IN AND PAINT IT APART. BEING ASSEMBLED IN VAN NUYS CALIFORNIA THIS CAR WAS PAINTED WITH WATERBOURNE PAINT DUE TO STRINGENT AIR EMISSIONS. I DID LEAVE THE ORIGINAL PAINT ON THE FLOOR PANS AND SIDE COWLS CONSIDERING THEY WERE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
