MaxMotive is proud to present this highly original 1978 Pontiac
Trans Am. Finished in its factory Starlight Black paint over a
black custom velour interior, this documented survivor is backed by
Pontiac Historic Services documentation and remains with its
original, numbers-matching Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 engine.Unlike
the majority of 1978 Trans Ams equipped with the Oldsmobile 403
engine, this car retains its original Pontiac-built 400 V8,
verified by matching VIN stampings. With just 44,340 miles showing
on the odometer and ownership remaining with the original purchaser
for decades, this Trans Am represents the type of well-preserved
survivor that collectors actively seek. Factory equipment includes
Hurst Hatch Roof T-Tops, air conditioning, power windows, cruise
control, tilt steering wheel, remote deck lid release, cast
aluminum Snowflake wheels, and the factory AM/FM stereo with
8-track player. The car also received Pontiac?s Custom Trim Group
and Additional Acoustical Insulation package, enhancing comfort and
refinement. The accompanying PHS documentation confirms the
original color combination, drivetrain, and factory options,
providing an excellent level of authenticity and provenance.
Original-owner, original-paint, numbers-matching Pontiac 400 Trans
Ams have become increasingly difficult to find, making this an
outstanding opportunity for the collector who appreciates
originality and documentation.Whether added to a Pontiac
collection, preserved as a survivor, or enjoyed on the road, this
1978 Trans Am offers the authenticity, documentation, and
originality that continue to drive collector
demand.Numbers-Matching Pontiac 400 V8Original Owner

MAXmotive specializes in collectible classic and custom vehicles.
We have more than 200 vehicles in our collection and have sold
dozens nationwide and even overseas. We recommend that all buyers
who are unable to view a vehicle in person have a pre-purchase
inspection done prior to purchase. Inspections can be performed by
an independent party selected by the buyer. Due to the age and
uniqueness of these special vehicles, it is difficult to cover all
aspects and characteristics of each vehicle?s condition within the
limited space available. Thus, pre-purchase inspections are helpful
to all parties involved. The information provided for this vehicle
is presented to the best of our knowledge, and is deemed reliable.
But MAXmotive does not warrant or guarantee this information as a
basis for purchase. It is the responsibility of the buyer to make a
thorough inspection to determine the suitability of the vehicle
prior to purchase.
