1978 Pontiac Trans AmHere's a rare chance to own a your very own late seventies Pontiac Trans Am. A true barn/garage find with the desirable 400 Pontiac engine and automatic transmission. This two owner car was stashed away in a dry heated garage with a concrete floor in northwest Indiana for the last 16 years where it sat up on blocks. This car was brought back to our shop where the car had the fuel system flushed and cleaned, fresh full service oil change... including oil, filter, fuel filter, grease job, fluids, differential service etc.. Each cylinder was inspected with a scope and in excellent condition, as expected with only 83k miles on it. All cylinders were lubed with marvel mystery oil and let to soak. The engine was then turned over by hand, new plugs installed and test ran. The engine runs very strong and is tight and responsive. The transmission go's thru all the gears smooth and correctly with no issues. The car was parked due to the tickets the guys wife was getting. We took all the pictures from the way we found the car to it's present condition. The car had some modifications done in the eighties and it has a cool old school vibe to it. All the pin striping on the car is old school hand painted from back in the day by an artist named Jody that signed it on the deck lid. Even the screamin' chicken on the hood is all done by hand. The car has had a repaint and the paint isn't perfect but it's fine for a driver. The floors, trunk, rear frame rails etc. are very solid. The car needs some love but it would make for a very easy and enjoyable winter project. I have too many cars in the works at this time to take this one to the next level so I'm passing it on for someone else to enjoy.
