In 1979, ontiac Released the 10th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the first Trans Am that rolled off the line in 1969. This was a limited production run of only 7500 Trans Ams. Really, he only options that were available on the 10th Anniversary Trans Am was the powertrain options.

Standard on the 10th Anniversary was the two-tone silver and charcoal paint. This paint scheme was accented by a special 5 color hood-bird which wings extended over the hood and onto the side fenders. The body of the car was also outlined in a special black and red stripe package much like the "Special Edition" striping of the earlier Special Edition Trans Am. There were also special badges (decals) that were placed on the car signifying the 10th Anniversary Edition.

Also standard on all 10th Anniversary Trans Am's were power windows, ower locks, ir Conditioning, ower trunk release.... in sort, retty much every option available at the time. Also, he interior was also trimmed with a special "Engine-turned" gear shift bezel that went nicely with the dash, hich for this model was illuminated red instead of the normal white gauges. You really can't tell in the day, ut at night it gives a whole new feel and look to the inside. The T-tops were also a special mirrored finish instead of the drab "smoked" finish of T-tops seen previously. The 10th Anniversary Trans Am was also the first time you saw the "Turbo" wheels seen on later Special Edition Turbo, ace Car, nd other Turbo Trans Ams.
