I'll add to the "low resolution" set...

Here's the very first photograph I took of my '79 Tenth Anniversary four speed just after I purchased it in August 1998. A friend and I were using his front yard as a staging area, doing a tune-up, replacing the belts and hoses, and putting on new tires just prior to me driving it from Rochester, NY to Dallas, TX:

Although a moderately low mileage car (roughly 45K at the time this was taken), if you look closely it's missing some stripes on the flares and on both the front and rear spoiler (which had recently been repainted). All missing stripes have since been added.

Post by: w72transamowner on January 01, 2008, 11:22:05 AM: Here's a picture I took at the 2007 Virginia fall classic.....beautiful car (I kept coming back to it over and over again).

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb87/w72transamowner/Oct%2007%20VA%20Fall%20Classic/79TA.jpg)

The owner of this particular Trans Am is an older gentleman who lives in Newport News, Virginia, and has several second generation Trans Ams including a gorgeous orange (durango bronze??) 1976 Formula. I will attempt to get pictures of some of his cars this summer, although he doesn't frequent any of the local car cruises and rarely seems to come to shows. I tried to talk him into getting involved in the local Tidewater Trans Am Club, but he didn't seem very interested (bummer).

Maybe you should have asked for 1,979 photos instead of just 79 of them.
You're sick Brett...hmmm....should we start all over again...just kidding!!

Post by: WarbirdTA on March 12, 2008, 11:15:25 AM: Franko,
Are you sure that's a '79?
The gas door between the taillights, is off a '81.

Just wondering,

Post by: Franko on March 12, 2008, 11:24:43 AM: Yah, George, its a '79, congrats on your eagle eyes. your the first to point that out, I was just waiting for someone to mention that.
the '81 lights are the only good set I could find at the time, so, yah their wrong. ;D
Go easy Russ, besides the tail lights and the '75 shaker, its all '79

Post by: WarbirdTA on March 12, 2008, 11:34:12 AM: I have a spare '79-'80 smoked taillight door.
How good is the one you got?
Maybe a straight trade?
That is, if you want to?

Just wondering,

indeed, im debating which shade of blue i wanna paint my car; the atlantis blue is a more silverish shade of blue right? which one looks better midnight blue or that nocturne color? i was thinking to go with atlantis because this picture looks real clean but it looks like those pics i posted earlier which is nocturne blue looks like this one, but on the description they say it is atlantis blue.
(http://www.firebirdgallery.com/Hood%20Birds/79_blue_atl.jpg)

is this nocturne blue?

Title: Re: 79 Pictures of 1979 Trans Am's
Post by: jphillips3333 on June 25, 2008, 08:10:36 PM: The cowl tag should have a 24 for the color code if it's Atlantis, a 19 if it's Nocturne. It looks brighter in this shot, hence Atlantis. The paint looks good - does it need paint elsewhere? It's your car, but it's more valuable with the original color.

The cowl probably has a 24N for the vinyl blue interior.

The youtube video looked Nocturne blue but the sun was bright - it looked a little brighter than others I've seen.

Post by: blue81ta on June 25, 2008, 08:18:18 PM: Nice T/A. The color of your T/A is Nocturne blue.

Below is what Atlantis blue looks like.

Title: Re: 79 Pictures of 1979 Trans Am's
Post by: jphillips3333 on June 25, 2008, 08:27:30 PM: I stand corrected. If yours is Nocturne, per the cowl tag info given, I thought the Nocturne blue was considerably darker than the blue you've posted. There's probably a bunch more images posted prior to your post that must have been Nocturne - only available in `79. Good luck.

Post by: Peti Boi on June 25, 2008, 08:56:58 PM: admiralty blue possibly?
Title: Re: 79 Pictures of 1979 Trans Am's
Post by: Rick on June 25, 2008, 09:03:38 PM: IIRC, Nocturne Blue is color code 29. GM used a lot of color code 29s over the years -- Admiralty Blue was one and Stellar Blue was another. I'm not sure how the paint formulations differed. All of those are a dark blue mettalic. Lucerne Blue is a different color altogether.
Title: Re: 79 Pictures of 1979 Trans Am's
Post by: jphillips3333 on June 25, 2008, 09:12:06 PM: No admiralty blue ... only two blues available in `79. Yes, rick is right on Nocturne - it's 29, not 19 which is black - typo, oops.
