Vehicle Description
For sale is a low mile, survivor 1978 Pontiac Trans Am located in
our Indianapolis showroom. 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". Pontiac achieved this additional horsepower by
beefing up the 4-barrel carburetor, adding a cam with 20 more
degrees of duration, a new low restriction dual resonator exhaust
system, and adding an air cleaner with a larger snorkel. Just so
that everyone knew you had a T/A 6.6, the callouts were affixed to
the shaker and chrome valve covers. This car is also optioned with
the WS6 Handling Package that consists of stiffer rear springs,
larger rear stabilizer bar with polyurethane link bushings, tighter
shocks, a new steering gearbox with a 14:1 ratio, and 225/70R15
steel belted Goodyear Radials wrapped around a set of 15x8 inch
wide snowflake wheels. This 1978 Pontiac Trans Am is powered by its
original 6.6L 400 CID V8 engine , backed by a 4-speed manual
transmission, running to a Posi Traction rear end with 3.42 gears
with only 13,909 actual miles! Options on this 1978 Pontiac Trans
Am include: Factory Air Conditioning, AM/FM radio, Power Brakes,
Power Steering, Power Door Locks, Power Windows, Rear Window
Defogger, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Aluminum Alloy
Wheels, and Raised White Letter Radial Tires. This beautiful
survivor is still sporting its original black paint with the
unmistakable shaker hood and Firebird decal on the hood. The
interior is also nicely preserved in its original black vinyl
interior and gold gauge bezel that makes this car pop. This car
also comes with the build sheet that outlines all the factory
options that were ordered on the car. This is a true collectors
piece that will only continue to increase in value over time and is
looking for a new home. To view this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am in
