Three Years in the Making - Some Collections are Worth the Wait
Auctions like this simply do not come along every day.
The Steffen Group Auctioneers is proud to present an extraordinary collection featuring some of the finest and most unique items we have had the privilege to offer. Headlining the auction is a true once-in-a-lifetime barn finda rare 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Limited Edition showing just 4 original miles. Opportunities to purchase a vehicle of this caliber and originality are exceptionally rare.
Auctioneer Brandon Steffen and Auctioneer Pat Carter have been working with the Seller for more than three years to bring this remarkable collection to market. From the moment the barn doors opened and they first laid eyes on the Trans Am, they knew they were looking at something truly special. Discoveries like this simply do not happen every day, and the opportunity to offer such an extraordinary vehicle at public auction is a privilege.
The collection also includes a highly desirable 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express Pickup Truck and a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 16,258 miles.
Beyond the vehicles, bidders will discover an incredible assortment of high-end antiques, advertising memorabilia, and collectibles. Highlights include a vintage bicycle collection, neon signs, soda fountain memorabilia, unique advertising pieces, and countless other treasures that are seldom found on the open market.
This is not your typical auction. Every item has been carefully preserved and collected over many years, resulting in a lineup filled with quality, rarity, and character. From automotive enthusiasts and collectors to antique dealers and advertising aficionados, there is truly something for everyone.
Simply put, this is the type of auction that gets an auctioneer excited. From the 4-mile Trans Am to the outstanding collection of antiques, advertising, and collectibles, this is one of the most remarkable auctions we have had the opportunity to conduct this year. The variety, quality, and uniqueness of the items being offered make this a sale that collectors will not want to miss.

Never Titled
Few collector cars can truly be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This 1979 Pontiac Trans Am 10th Anniversary Limited Edition is one of them.
Purchased new through a Pontiac dealership in 1979, the vehicle was delivered directly to the Seller's family farm and never entered regular service. As a result, the car was never titled and today shows just 4.9 original miles. Because the vehicle was delivered directly to the farm rather than being fully prepared by the selling dealer, many of the original delivery components remain untouched.
The car retains its original dealer window stickers, factory plastic wrapping on the steering wheel, and protective floor coverings. Also included are the original wheel center caps, lower front air spoiler, and side flares, all still preserved in their original packaging and stored in the trunk. These components were never installed because the vehicle never underwent dealer preparation.
The Trans Am remains remarkably original and represents an extraordinary opportunity for collectors seeking one of the most unique surviving examples of Pontiac's iconic 10th Anniversary Edition. The vehicle appears complete, with the exception of the rear bumper assembly, which is not present.
Whether you are a Pontiac enthusiast, muscle car collector, or investor seeking a truly irreplaceable vehicle, opportunities to acquire a documented, never-titled 10th Anniversary Trans Am with only 4.9 original miles are exceptionally rare.
