This awesome '78 T/A is optioned with the W72 Performance Package and the WS6 Handling package and this option combination quickly established the 1978 Trans Am as the "King of the Hill". The W72 Performance Package was an engine option on the base 6.6 Liter 400 CID engine that provided an additional 20 horsepower over the stock engine and was labeled as the "T/A 6.6".
