1978 PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM: Outstanding Pontiac 400 motor. Has a HJ stamped on the front of the engine block. Believe it is a 1974 Pontiac engine so it should have a higher compression ratio compared to the actual 1978 400. Has a lot of get up and go and idles very nice. Installed new plugs and wires. Properly gapped. Smooth shifting auto transmission. Black exterior hard top AND a tan interior. Interior parts should be replaced. Dash is solid but has been capped. Front and rear seat buns are good and seats have new covers. Passenger side floor pan has a rust hole. (see pics) I have two full length floor pans that have not been installed yet. I bought them from Classic Industries. They will come with the car including a set of GM R/L seat tracks. All gauges work and have no electrical issues that I am aware of. Head lights, tail lights and running lights all work well. Has floor button high beam headlight switch and electric trunk release. Rear frame rails are in very good rust free condition. Frame seems to be good and straight. I did a magnet check concerning the usual rust areas on the body panels. I found no suspect areas. The magnet stuck well to each body area I checked. Drivers side radiator support bracket is rusted through and will need to be replaced but rest is very solid. Sway bar and leaf springs are sound. There is a little play in the front steering wheel. Ball joints and tie rod ends are probably factory originals and will need to be replaced. Springs, shocks an shock towers are in good drivers condition. Brakes are responsive but there is a slight leak in the front brake line. Radiator is in good condition. Both doors have the typical sag and will need new pins. Has a clear Iowa title. If your just a dreamer, a BS'er or someone who is looking to get something for nothing please do not waste your time or mine. I am also NOT interested in some sort of trade. Please dont make an offer if you are not going to live up to it and if you are interested but change your mind please let me know. It is only curtious. If you are a serious buyer who has the money please email me. If you prefer to call me you may reach me at 319-601-1455 and ask for Matt. Thank you for looking and Happy New Year.
