1978 Pontiac Trans Am - $24,995 - Charlotte, NC - If you missed the boat on the last wave of muscle cars that turned into investments the time is now to pick up a '70s Trans Am. Not only are they finding a large group of appreciative collectors but they're a lot of fun to drive too. This nicely preserved '78 offers a great color combination and a genuine Pontiac 400 under the hood the last year you could get it with an automatic transmission. Code 11 Cameo White is this car's original color and in a set of Bandit clones it definitely stands out. It's also a classic color that will never go out of style and doesn't look quite as cartoonish as some of the other color variations that were available that year. Now whether that's a plus or a minus I'll leave up to you but this car looks great. The black and red decals are in excellent shape with no peeling or checking and all the plastic body parts like the chin spoiler fender vents and urethane front bumper are in excellent shape. It also carries T-tops which are still a highly desirable option (yes they were optional) and you'll be impressed by how well this F-body fits together suggesting that it's had an easy life. With Cameo White the Dark Carmine (that's red to the rest of us) interior looks amazing. Like the rest of the car it presents quite well with few signs of age or use although the carpets might be a little faded from the sun. Plastic and vinyl parts remain excellent including the dash pad arm rests and center console. Of note this car carries power windows with that round black Firebird badge fitted to hide the window crank hole. It's also loaded up with things like A/C cruise control a tilt column and a new Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo. All four seats remain excellent and complete right down to the plastic shoulder belt holders which are always cracked and broken. The trunk is highly original too with a correct space-saver spare the original mat and a jack. Look past that Trans Am hood scoop (which wasn't functional anyway) and you'll find a Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8. It's beautifully preserved and looks like it's only a few years old instead of a few decades. There's still plenty of turquoise paint on the block the hood scoop fits tight atop the 4-barrel carburetor. New stuff includes a fresh master cylinder and an A/C system plus fresh hoses throughout. It's linked to a 3-speed automatic and the chassis is completely original and rust-free. Flowmasters give it a great bark and the suspension is a great combination of ride and handling. Cool Rally II wheels are a Pontiac standard but a neat addition to a late Trans Am like this. You missed the first-generation Z/28s when they were $25000 cars. You missed the Boss 302s when they were affordable. Don't miss this one too. Call now! This vehicle is located in our Charlotte showroom.
