1978 Trans Am

Here is a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am with 42,000 Miles on it. It is the beautiful black with the buckskin tan vinyl interior. It has the Pontiac 400 engine (W72) with the 4-Speed Hurst Manual transmission. The car was repainted about 10 years ago but you would never be able to tell from looking at it. It is also equipped with the Hurst Hatch roof option. There has been some modifications done to the engine so this car has some nice power to it. See the description below for more detail. Here are some descriptions of the following components:

Exterior:

The exterior of this car is in great shape. The car was repainted and all new decals placed on the car. The paint is in great condition with only a few minor flaws here and there. 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 15x8 gold Snowflake rims on the car which are correct for cars produced early in 1978. It also has the correct Original GM centercaps and not the cheap aftermarket ones. The tires are also in great shape and are brand new BF Goodrich Radial TA's. All of the exterior weather stripping is also in great condition. The headlight grilles and chrome is also in great shape.

Interior:

The interior of the car is the tan vinyl standard interior. 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, rips, or fading. All of the panels on the interior are in nice shape and not dry rotted or cracking. If you were going to make a show car, I would replace some of the trim pieces due to a few scratches here and there. 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. Also another nice feature that you don't see to often.... The clock actually works !

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 300-325hp. 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 rebuilt so it shifts smooth and compliments the acceleration of the engine well. The suspension and steering are all brand new within the last two years and functioning like they should. The brakes are all in great functioning condition with new pads and rotors.

Misc:

The undercarriage of the car is in great shape. The car comes with the Hurst hatch roof option, but that was about it. There is no power option and this car was not an AC car either.... but with the T-tops off who needs air conditioning. It did come with the rear defogger and tilt wheel, but that is about it. This is a true 1978 black on tan W72 4-Speed Trans Am. If you want a Trans Am that looks great and is fast.. then this is the one. See the photos below.
