Factory Solar Gold 1979 Trans Am with documented 10,000 original miles offered in limited 60-day sweepstakes.
A remarkably preserved 1979 Pontiac Trans Am with just 10,000 documented original miles is now the centerpiece of a limited 60-day giveaway, offering enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own an authentic survivor from the peak of Pontiac’s late-1970s performance era.
Unlike restored or modified examples that frequently appear on the market, this Trans Am remains largely as it left the factory. Finished in its original Solar Gold paint and paired with a Camel Tan interior, the car reflects the bold styling that defined the second-generation F-body during its most recognizable years. Survivor cars with mileage this low are increasingly difficult to find, particularly those backed by documentation supporting originality.
According to its original window sticker, this Trans Am was well equipped when new. Power comes from a 6.6-liter V-8 paired with an automatic transmission. Factory air conditioning, a limited-slip differential, and rally gauges with both clock and tachometer were part of the build, underscoring its blend of performance and comfort.
Additional features include power windows, power door locks, a tilt steering wheel, removable hatch roof panels, a rear deck spoiler, cast aluminum wheels, and a Delco AM/FM 8-track stereo system. With an original MSRP exceeding $9,000, the car represented a premium offering in Pontiac’s lineup at the time.
The giveaway runs from February 13, 2026, through April 9, 2026, with a winner scheduled to be drawn on April 22, 2026. Organizers have announced that federal prize taxes will be paid on behalf of the winner, reducing the financial burden often associated with high-value prizes.
Beyond the car itself, entries support veterans’ and children’s charities, connecting the preservation of automotive history with charitable impact.
With only a 60-day window to participate, the opportunity to claim this low-mileage 1979 Trans Am is limited. For collectors and enthusiasts drawn to originality and documentation, this Solar Gold survivor represents a snapshot of Pontiac performance history that has remained largely untouched for more than four decades.
