Vehicle Detail

This is a one-of-a-kind, beautiful 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. You cannot take this car anywhere without people coming up to you, one after the other, telling you what an awesome car it is. You won't find one like this anymore. It looks great and sounds amazing. This car runs like a brand new 2012 high performance car, but it looks just like it did in 1978, so you get the best of both worlds. Here are the details:1978 Pontiac Trans Am, originally a North Carolina Car with Build Sheet and all records (including receipts for all work done!)400 cubic inch, Hydraulic roller motor; Transmission; Exhaust (3 inch dual exhaust that sounds phenomenal); front and rear suspension; custom black on black interior and more!! All work completed over the past four years! Well over $20,000 has been invested during that time, and I have all the receipts to prove it!
