You are bidding on a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a numbers-matching car with factory 4 speed. It has the original build sheet as well as PHS documentation. It left the factory with the following options: -Body side moldings -W72 400 4 bbl (Pontiac) engine -Custom, color-keyed seat belts -Electric rear window defrost -Soft Ray glass, all -Door edge guards -Hood decal -Additional acoustical insulation -Lamp group -Front & rear floor mats -Right hand visor vanity mirror -Drip rail moldings -Delco AM radio with 8 track player -Tilt steering -G70x15 white-lettered tires Here's a quick, walk-around video with the engine running: http://vid73.photobucket.com/albums/i224/blue71ta/1978%20Trans%20Am/MVI_9953.mp4 The engine appears to have been rebuilt as it is very clean under the valve covers and inside the intake. It has Erson roller rockers and a mild cam that gives it a nice lope at idle. The following parts are all new (or remanufactured, in the case of the carb): NOS water pump remanufactured carburetor fuel pump-to-carb line air filter ported vacuum switch ACDelco spark plugs plug wires oil change with 10W40 oil pressure sending unit / switch heater hoses core support bushing kit battery The wheels have been balanced and there is good tread on tires. The rearend is the original 3.42 ratio posi with the "PY" code. I'm pretty sure the Borg Warner Super T-10 transmission is original also, but don't see a VIN on it (probably stamped on top of the case), but it is dated correctly for the car. The body is solid for the most part, but will need some patching in a few areas (bottoms of fenders, driver's front floor & rear quarters). The trunk is in very good condition, the rear body panel is solid & frame rails look solid. Check out the pics and video for more detail. The tach, clock and temp gauges are not currently working, but all other gauges work. Temp gauge likely just needs a sending unit to function. The radio is not working, nor are the lights & signals. These shouldn't be too hard to fix, just haven't had time. *Car will need to be trailered as the brakes need work and are not safe. Feels like the right front rotor is warped. I have a pair of used rotors off a '79 T/A that I will include with the car. This is a great start for a restoration. It's a numbers-matching, 4 speed car that runs & drives. You can fix /restore while you drive. Please ask all questions before bidding and only bid if you plan to complete the transaction.
