1978 Trans Am Y88 SE
8,000 original miles Ref # 2022
We’re proud to present one of the finest second-gen Firebirds on the planet: an 8,000-mile 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Y88 Gold Special Edition the one-year-only “Gold Package” that Pontiac offered exclusively for 1978. Finished in its original Solar Gold (Code 50) with SE-style brown graphics, this Y88 carries the hallmark gold-mirrored Fisher T-Tops—another feature unique to the ’78 Y88 package plus gold accents throughout (gold snowflake wheels, gold engine-turned dash bezel, and gold-spoke Snowflake correct finish as required by the factory).
This is an unrestored, numbers-matching car wearing its original paint and interior. Inside and out, it’s among the best Y88s we’ve ever seen. A remarkable preservation note: the seats were covered with protective covers from new in 1978 until 2019. When we acquired the car from the previous owner, it showed just ~7,000 miles (see title copy below).
Part of our personal collection, this museum-quality Trans Am remains stock in appearance yet benefits from subtle, reversible tuning to deliver a respectful ~350 hp while keeping the numbers-matching drivetrain intact.
Tasteful upgrades we performed:
Professionally re-wrapped the steering wheel in real leather (original look, better feel)
Installed a vintage-style modern radio (original unit included)
New dual exhaust for enhanced flow
Factory WS6 suspension (sourced from our stash) for sharper handling, exactly what enthusiasts love about late ’78 cars
Fresh wheels and new tires
If you’re searching for the definitive Y88 one year only, impeccably preserved, original paint, numbers-matching, and thoughtfully enhanced to drive as good as it looks, this is the one.
Very well documented with its original build sheet and factory brochures.
