A Rare Chance To Own A Unicorn From Pontiac

A 1979 Pontiac Trans Am With 65 Miles On It Could Be Yours For $159,900

Nearly four decades ago, 18-year-old William Leland Jr., a distant relative of Henry Leland, the founder of Lincoln and Cadillac, bought a highly well-equipped 1979 Pontiac Trans Am for $10,095. The Trans Am wasn’t to be driven or even washed, Leland ordered. When Leland died at the age of 42, his father took over ownership, and preserved the car according to his son’s wishes as a shrine.

Now, after being passed on to a third owner, the car is on sale, having been preserved in pristine condition 39 years after it emerged from GM’s manufacturing facility in Norwood, Ohio.

The car, according to RK Motors, has “never been washed, never been rained on, and [benefitted] from yearly fluid changes that included fresh oil and distilled water.”

It was also fired up once a month, and worked through its gears. It’s hard to imagine a 1979 Trans Am in any better shape.
