Talk about inflation<\/a>!<\/p>\n

A like-new 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am<\/a> that that has been driven just 37 miles was sold at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction for $220,000.<\/p>\n

The car had been stored in a Michigan farm building and was covered in dust when it was recently purchased by a car restoration company.<\/p>\n

Restore A Muscle Car marketing manager Tom Hegland told Fox News Digital<\/u><\/a> that it was one of four identical Trans Ams that were purchased by a family as investments, and this one could be the lowest-mileage example from the model year left.<\/p>\n

RARE 1970 PONTIAC GTO JUDGE MUSCLE CAR SOLD FOR RECORD $1.1 MILLION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It is a well-equipped hardtop with a 6.6-liter V8 engine, automatic transmission, power everything and the iconic Screaming Chicken decal on the hood.<\/p>\n

The black coupe hardly needed any work to get running, just new fluids, a fuel system flush and a battery.<\/p>\n

Hegland did not say how much his shop paid for it, but the car cost just $8,300.45 when it was new, the original paperwork says.<\/p>\n

While a similar vehicle in concours condition should be worth around $70,000, according to Hagerty, that valuation does not take into account one that has hardly been driven.<\/p>\n

The folks bidding on it at the auction<\/a> did, however, and it ended up selling for $220,000.<\/p>\n

That is nearly double the $118,250 that was paid at a Mecum Auctions event last January<\/a> for a blue 1979 Firebird Trans Am with 38 miles on the odometer, marking a significant appreciation for the model over the past year.<\/p>\n

It might be time to check your barn for any “chickens” you left in there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
