1978 Silver and Blue Trans Am

     Here is a beautiful1978 Pontiac Trans Am. It is the beautiful Silver with Blue stripes custom painted down the center of the car.  It also have a custom black and blue cloth interior. It has the Pontiac 400 engine (W72) with the 4-Speed Hurst Manual transmission. The car also comes equipped with the Cars and Concepts T-tops. This color silver with the black interior in the 1978 Trans Am is just beautiful.  Everything functions on this car as it should except for the clock. Here are some descriptions of the following components:

Exterior:

The exterior of this car is in great shape. The car was repainted a few years ago. The paint is in great condition with only a few minor flaws here and there. There are about three small (smaller than a pencil eraser) rock chips on the car, but that is about it. All of the spoilers and door joints and hood and trunk joints line up like they should. There is no signs of rust starting at all on the exterior of the car. There are no dents and no door dings on any of the panels. All of the exterior trim pieces like the chrome windshield moldings are in great shape. The nose emblem is in great shape and not faded and there are newly refinished 15x7 Silver Snowflake rims on the car which really makes it stand out. The tires are also in great shape with about 95% tread life remaining. All of the exterior weather stripping is also in great condition.

Interior:

The interior of the car is the custom black and blue cloth custom interior to match the outside paint scheme. All of the interior is in great shape. The seats have no tears or rips to them. The carpet is still in good shape with no holes or rips. All of the panels on the interior are in nice shape and not dry rotted or cracking.  You can just as easily take this car to a show.  The dash is in great shape with no cracks in it. The center console is also in great condition. Even the kick panels are still in great shape with no scratches. Take a look at the photos below to see what I mean. The door panels are in great shape and the door handles are not broken like many Trans Ams.

Mechanical:

This Trans Am is equipped with the W72 Pontiac 400 and 4-Speed M21 Close Ratio transmission.  The engine has respectable power for a Pontiac 400. The engine has been rebuilt and I am guessing it putting out about 325-350hp.  The car has headers and true dual exhaust and sounds awesome.  It has a nice roar to it when you start it up.  The car runs great with no problems of stalling and is great on acceleration. The engine also does not leak a drop of oil.  The Transmission is also in original condition so it shifts smooth and compliments the acceleration of the engine well. The suspension and steering are all functioning like they should. In fact, when I drive down a straight highway, I can let go of the wheel and the car does not pull an inch in any direction. It stays straight on down the road. I was quite amazed when I did this for myself. The brakes are all in great functioning condition with new pads and rotors and even some new brakes lines.  All of the gauges are in working condition except for the clock which is right twice per day.

Misc:

The undercarriage of the car is in great shape. There is an aftermarket radio installed as well as rear speakers.  It also has the original build sheet with the car to prove it originality on the engine and components.  See the photos below. Email me with any questions: Brett@taspecialties.com
