For Sale: 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am in Lincoln, Nebraska

Vehicle Description

Stock Number: 1028 - 1978 Pontiac Trans AM, W72 - 400 with a Borg Warner 4-speed transmission. It shows only 56,804 miles. It was sold new at Miller-Stephan Pontiac in Boise, Idaho, as shown on the Factory Invoice provided by PHS. It has spent its life out in the no-salt western states. It is an extremely clean survivor car that has had one repaint several years ago. It is powered by the High Output W72 Pontiac 400 engine. This engine puts out 220HP, 20% more than the Standard 400. The engine in this TA was rebuilt, so it runs and drives very well. The previous owner spent a lot of time and money maintaining and upgrading this car to keep it in great running condition. A full Wilwood 4-wheel disk brake system and UMI Suspension upgrades were installed. Ram-Air exhaust manifolds and a Full Pypes Stainless Exhaust System have been added. The interior has new Seat upholstery and door panels installed, too. Everywhere you look, this is a high-quality Trans AM. It is a solid driver-plus quality car with paint that is in very good condition with some minor imperfections, as one would expect on a true survivor car, but still provides an overall nice presentation. Martinique Blue is a one-year-only color and is considered very collectible. It is definitely the most sought-after color of the 1978 model year, making this 4-speed Trans AM the one to own. This is a full numbers-matching car.
