My long-time buddy, Pete, has a 1979 Black Special Edition Trans Am with a manual transmission and the T-tops. I think it has about 30,000 miles on it and it's been stored in his garage for many, many years. We used to go everywhere in it during high school and college. Very cool car and a lot of fun.
I was watching a TV show yesterday and they were talking about Trans Ams. The '79 Special Edition is now considered a classic as well as a highly sought after collectors item and should fetch a price in the neighborhood of about $40,000. The original MSRP was only $7,000!!!
