I know it's a long shot, but I'm looking for any information on this car.
1979 Pontiac Trans Am, Solar Gold with Camel Tan vinyl interior, automatic 403 car.
My grandmother was the 2nd owner of the car in 79; she purchased it used from Austin Pontiac on Union Road in West Seneca.
The original owner was from the Jamestown area, kept the car for only a few months, and replaced the original radio.
My grandmother only kept the car for 4 years. It was traded in to Ron Corbo Oldsmobile in West Seneca, NY, in June of 83.
My grandfather had added the mudflaps to the car, the black louvers, a brushed-aluminum decal on the shifter to match the dash, and some factory-brown pin striping around the mirrors and wheels.
From talking with family, I believe that the car had manual windows, and once it was sold, it stayed in the Buffalo/Cheektowaga area for a bit.
The car was in a minor accident, and the driver's side front fender by the marker light was repaired.
After it was repaired, the car had electrical issues, which is why she traded it in.
Also, the car would have a cigarette burn in the center console by the shifter.
Unfortunately, we do not have any records of the VIN, and neither does the DMV nor the insurance company she used.
Please reach out with any information.
Our family would love to know if the car is still around.
