1978 Pontiac Trans Am Description

Remember, cars are only original once. This is a great example of one...original paint (and decals), interior and drivetrain bought from the original owner.

This is a rare, real deal Y88 1978 Pontiac Gold Special Edition Trans Am

- -Automatic transmission

- -80,000 original miles (129,000 km)

This car has been lovingly cared for and it shows. The body is in fantastic shape with one small rust spot on the bottom of the pass fender. The interior is very nice with a couple small things needing attention. The car starts, runs and drives excellent, could be driven anywhere. The exterior and the interior both have all the correct gold accents and trim pieces only found on the SE cars. Have GM documentation, owners manuals, receipts, etc. The build sheet should still be in the car as interior has never been out. A true time capsule that won’t disappoint.

I have a reasonable reserve set (please don’t ask) that is much lower than guide value on these cars, so you could get into this hot collectible with some instant equity. The value of this model is not going down or even levelling out any time soon.

$1000 Paypal deposit required immediately at auction end. Full payment within 3 days.

Any questions?...Please ask!

I have added pics of the underside, trunk and engine compartment. No holes underneath. Trunk is solid. Even the rear bumper support (where TA's usually rot) is still solid! This car has the ORIGINAL exhaust system with catalytic converter and transverse muffler/splitter!

This car still retains it's original brakes! The rear drums and shoes had to be replaced, because the rivets destroyed the drums, but the front brakes are still original and have lots of life.
