This fully documented Trans Am is the king of the mountain for 1978 performance and is nearly completely original with just some wear items replaced. The included build sheet, original window sticker, original bill or sale, and numerous other dealer documents fully authenticate this special TA as being legit and the real deal. This 2 owner TA has only been driven 400 miles in the last 26 years and was last registered in 1996 with included license plate sticker and registration sticker and registration card and insurance docs and PA license plate.

This Trans Am has no visible rust anywhere and is very solid with great lines and gaps. There is no bubbling or cracked paint anywhere on the body.

This Trans Am is finished in the beautiful and desirable color combinations of Solar Gold (code 50) over Camel Deluxe (code 62N) vinyl interior. This is the factory color scheme as verified on the trim tag pictured above and included Build Sheet. These special low production 4 Speed Trans Am's are some of the most sought after collectible TA's on the market. They continue to increase in value and desirability.
Exterior
The Solar Gold exterior is in beautiful fully original condition.
This Trans Am features all original sheet metal with no
patches or repairs and all original paint in factory Solar Gold
with all original decals and moldings. The paint is in
wonderful condition for being 40 years old with no signs of visible
rust anywhere on the body or underneath and both bumpers are in
great shape with no flaking paint. There is no bubbling paint
or any signs of rust on the body and the metal is all original
sheet metal with no signs or rust repairs. The underside is
honest and rust free and not covered up with undercoating or cheap
spray paint. This TA was factory rust proofed with Rusty
Jones and see photo of included factory receipt. There may be
some minor imperfections that are not noticeable in the photos, but
nothing was intentionally excluded from the photos. There are
some color matched rock chip touch ups around the car and a few
places has thinner paint like on the rear bumper edge. The Cooper
Cobra tires are literally brand new with less than 50 miles on them
and are correctly sized 225/70/15 and the 8" factory WS6 snowflake
wheels are OEM originals and are in excellent original condition
and not restored. All weather stripping and window sweeps
are original and in excellent condition. Door seals, t top
seals, trunk seal, and shaker seal are in great shape.
Trunk is very solid and clean with the original space saver
spare tire and jack, with a the original correct trunk mat and the
original t top Hurst storage bag.
Interior
The Camel deluxe vinyl interior of this Trans Am is original and in
excellent overall condition. The original seat covers are
like new with no noticeable wear, no rips, or seam splits.
These are not replacements but factory original vinyl covers.
These are very comfortable and soft to the touch and not
brittle at all. The carpet is original with no major stains,
rips, or holes. The original dash is in superb condition with
no cracks, no warping, and no fading. The dash bezel is
original and looks beautiful in the car and is in spectacular
condition and unrestored. The original am/fm cassette stereo
has never been removed and the factory wiring is still in tact and
cassette player still works and sounds great. The presets
hold and work properly as well. The original door panels are
in great condition and both door pulls are solid and in tact.
The headliner and package tray are both originals and in good
shape. All interior and exterior lights and gauges work as
they should including the cigarette lighter. The horn,
stereo, wipers, and blower motor on all speeds works. The
warning buzzers and lights all work and so does the blinker
indicator lights. Everything works on this car outside of the
clock. Reverse lock out linkage is still in place from the
factory and the car must be in reverse to remove the keys.
This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma what so
ever.
Mechanical
This Trans Am is in excellent mechanical condition with low miles
of 61,706. Most importantly the original Pontiac W72 400
engine and original 4 speed manual transmission are still in the
car with matching numbers. I have driven this car numerous
times and its one of the best F body cars I have ever driven.
It does everything the way its intended to per factory design
and has no noticeable rattles or squeaks or odd noises. I
have full confidence in the car and its a true pleasure to drive
and it handles extremely well being a factory WS6 car. The original
catalytic converter is still in place with dual exhaust which gives
this TA a nice rumble at idle and cruising speeds. The
emergency brake works as it should and holds the car well. We
have driven this car numerous times and it always performs well, it
does not run hot, it rides tight, and is always a joy to
drive. The smiles, thumbs up, and attention you get driving
this car is unlike any classic car I have driven. In the
video one can observe this car running and driving with no
excessive rattles or noises, and the car handles and performs well.
This Trans Am is an exceptional driver that feels great on
the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke when
starting or driving the car. It starts right away every time,
idles well, and runs excellent. The brakes do not pull and
stop as they should and were recently serviced. Brand new
rotors, calipers, brake hoses and brake pads were installed on the
front of car. New fuel filter, air filter and oil filter and oil
were just installed. Also, the engine is very clean and
nicely detailed as one can see from the photos. There is a lot of
originality under the hood and throughout the car. This is a
factory NON AC car which really cleans up the engine bay and
enhances performance.
