Just got out build sheet. VIN 163024
job sequence number
21724879
sch. no. date
59-0896
04-02
Does show 3.23. It was 20+ years ago when I did gear swap. There was something different about rear. I want to say 3.5?. I was told by dealer that only 100 sets were ordered and installed, no spares. This might have been BS talk by service manager.
Speedo did work right. If one of you can check your speedo gear # I might be able to put this dog to sleep. My # 22GRA-T-BH3, please have a match.
I am brand new to elec. comunication, barely can chicken peck, pictures woh.
Car is in CC storage right now. Wife is going to try to scan some pics. and help with this.
People that wanted my car had X cars.
165th I keep two sets of wheels for mine. One set super polished and one set extra clean. I started collecting them many years ago, when I went to buy a new set for race tires, price was crazy. I put them on every firebird I keep and keep spares. I think Iv'e got enough spare parts to build a whole nother car. Only other 10th car VIN is auto., wouldn't build it for it. Got fair 71 body that will probably end up with WS6.
I will be back!

[165th]

Clay, I've got a set of original NOS Goodyear Polysteel tires that I'm going to mount on my original wheels for concour showing. My wheels still have the factory clear coat over the aluminum but one wheel is showing some signs of the aluminum wearing through.

I've got a second set of wheels for the Eagle GT's, but the second wheel set is not in the greatest condition. I do plan on polishing the second set for the driver tires. If you have any pristine turbo wheels you'd like to sell, I could use at least 2, maybe a full set if they are perfect.

How do you check the speedo gear number?

165th, I got the gear number off of the build sheet.
I did or do have two new wheels, one tire mount. They are on a wrecked 10th. I live in Laugh-at-it, GA next to a wrecker service and junkyard. Codes dept. made me move the car off the property. Bologna when I have wrecked cars backed up to property line. Rules are rules and I was not going to pay a fine.
The car is out in the country at a friends place. I will try to go look at the wheels and see how they have weatherd.
You can strip your wheels, polish and have them recleared. Better clear coats are availible now and your wheels will look new again. They will hold up better also. Iv'e been wanting to do a set for my car, tired of polishing.
Have you checked the date on your tires? If they are 30 years old it would be OK to show with them but do not drive on them. Not even to the store, especially on your car.

It was published in a pontiac magazine about six years ago.
That there were only (1800) 1979 10th anniversarys known left to exist
And out of the (1800) 500 were 4 speed cars.
I rememeber reading in that article they only made
about 12-15 pace cars for parades

By the way. I own the pace car that was at the daytona 500
it was the 4th 1979 10th anniversary trans am made!

I also own four other 1979 10th anniversary trans ams.
The 1979 10th anniversay trans am registry was shut down
about 5-7 years ago.

Hey guys, I just found a really nice 10th unmolested 66,000 miles

1969T/A, That article sounds familar. At the time I remember it being based on currently registered cars. No telling how many are in collections without current registration.
Have you ever checked your factory gears?

I think the number's were on total registered cars.
I have never checked the gears on any of my cars.
