Vehicle Detail
1978 Pontiac Trans Am with only 6211 original milesThis Trans Am has only been owned by two previous people since new and is in its original condition right down to the tires. The car was purchased in 1992 from the original owner with 5700 miles and only driven to car shows until 1998 before being stored until now. The entire car is like new from top to bottom and unaltered in any way from original. I can't imagine there are many cars like this still available in the US for sale. The car looks like it came out of a time capsule and still has that new car smell when you open the doors. The paint is absolutely stunning in person as well as the interior and balance of the car. The seats, carpet, dash, headliner, seat belts, steering wheel, door panel and package tray are all PERFECT. The trunk compartment is mint and PERFECT. The engine compartment is bone stock with exception to a battery tender and is PERFECT. The wheels are original was well as the tires, but the tires are not good. You can get away with replacing two tires but I would suggest all four to be safe. From the window sticker you will see that this car has a lot of options with the most important one being the optional engine (T.A. 6.6 400 W-72) The other options include power windows, tilt, ac, deluxe interior, special performance package, sound deadening , truck release, hood bird, drip edge and more. The car is very special because of its originality and extremely low miles. They don't make them like this any more and no one could restore a car and even come close to the condition that this TA is in. The decal on the hood scoop does not appear to match the balance of the decals,but it is correct with the call out letters for the engine option. The owner states the car came that way but there is no way to verify it. This car is not a SE car and I am not trying to represent it that way with the hood scoop lettering . The hood scoop is original an not opened up and still has it drain hose attached with factory clip. You could always remove the decal and replace with the same style lettering on the car. Your choice. I am offering a buy it now option for those of you who would prefer to ending auction early and make a great buy on this original TA. I will require a $2,000 deposit with in 2 days of ending of sale and the balance with in 7 days. I am selling the car "as is" because cars of this age are. I will not be refunding any money so be confident in yourself and ability to complete the sale in full. I can be reached at 248-760-0021 any time to discuss the car and answer any questions that you may have. Thank you for viewing my auction. Bob
