For sale in our Chicago showroom is this beautiful blue 1978
Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am. Powered by a strong running 400 CID
Pontiac V8 paired with a smooth shifting 3-speed automatic
transmission, this Trans-Am is ready to roll. This Firebird also
has a rather unique option not often discussed; known as the
"Rallye Shifter," it was essentially a factory ratchet shifter.
After numerous blown engines from street racers pushing the gear
shift from 1st to neutral on accident, this option was introduced
in 1969 and was offered on some vehicles to reduce warranty claims.
Unfortunately, the power of late 70s muscle cars never quite
matched the good looks. Knowing this, the seller of the vehicle has
opted to pump up the power output with a few subtle upgrades. An
Edelbrock performance carburetor and aluminum intake were installed
to get air pumping into the engine with ease. Pumping it back out
is achieved through a set of long tube headers and a custom exhaust
system giving this classic �Bird some bite to match the bark. A
fresh coat of Martinique Blue was applied along with the correct
'78 graphics to really bring this T/A to life. Beautiful to the
eyes, ears, and feels, this is a fantastic example of Pontiacs
performance coupe. Options include: AM/FM/CD, Power Brakes, Power
Steering, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Cloth Interior, Rally Wheels, and
Alloy Wheels. For more information on this solid 1978 Pontiac
