3,553 ACTUAL MILE Trans Am Survivor 400 V8 Automatic T-Tops A/C /// This awesome 1978 Trans Am is a numbers-matching time capsule that combines 3,553 original miles with enduring Pontiac performance and all-American style! Assembled at GM-Norwood, this halcyon Trans Am was originally sold through Motor Inn Company of Albert Lea, Minnesota. The cars first owner was a dedicated dealership employee who began systematically amassing a collection of spectacular Pontiacs. After roughly 20 years and only 1,700 miles, the enthusiast decided to thin his collection to fund his growing family. And, in the late 1990s, the car met its second and current owner. That owner maintained the T/As routine of sparse drives and climate-controlled storage. And today, the cars glossy Solar Gold glow pays excellent homage to factory body panels that are as solid, straight and sculpted as the day they left the showroom! Under this coupes long hood, youll find an original Pontiac 400. That proven mill leads an original GM Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed, which sends power to a familiar GM 10-bolt that spins a posi-trac differential around 2.56 gears. Standard power steering joins 4-wheel power disc brakes to mix quick stops with great handling. And at the corners, gold-tinged Snowflakes spin old school GR70-15 Uniroyal Steel Belted Radials. Open this Pontiacs massive doors and youll find an original Camel Tan interior that creates a striking yet comfortable cockpit. Original seats are agreeably firm. In front of those seats, an engine-turned instrument panel hangs crystal clear Rally Gauges above factory climate control and a vintage Delco-GM cassette player. A Camel Tan console anchors chrome power window switches behind a simple shifter. And in front of the driver, a Formula Steering Wheel laps a tilting column. If youre in the market for a pedigreed Pontiac thats the quintessential late 70s American muscle car, here it is! Call, click or visit www.RKMotors.com for more info.

Vortec Powered Trans Am Restomod 5.3L V8 4 Speed Auto A/C Custom Paint /// Leaving GMs famous Van Nuys manufacturing facility as a legitimate W-code Trans Am, this striking resto-mod has been fully stripped and treated to a 2-year, ground-up restoration that was completed in late 2016. That rebirth included a glowing coat of Pewter Silver 2-stage, which was detailed with brilliant PONTIAC and TRANS AM decals. And those decals look great spliced with custom-airbrushed Screaming Chicken call-outs. Lift the cars dramatic hood and youll find a potent Vortec 5300 small block thatll provide miles of reliable power! Behind that mill, a tough 4L60E 4-speed sends power to a familiar GM 10-bolt. Below that stellar powertrain, a lowered suspension combines a powder-coated subframe with a beefy rear sway bar and quality Bilstein shocks. Turns come courtesy of GM power steering. A polished master cylinder cinches two Wilwood calipers around vented rotors, and two GM calipers around drilled rotors. And at the corners of those tubes, modern Snowflakes spin requisite red birds inside two 255/45ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports and two 275/40ZR17 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports. Open this Pontiacs massive doors and youll find a cozy custom interior thats a great mix of modern amenities and classic style. The clean cockpit begins with tall Procar buckets that feature unique, body-matched vinyl. In front of those seats, a massaged dash hangs a custom, engine-turned instrument panel behind vivid Speedhut telemetry, a handy USB port and controls for modern air conditioning. A molded console is finished with a factory shifter. And in front of the driver, a tilting column spins a leather-wrapped Formula Steering Wheel. Fully sorted, from its glossy Shaker all the way to its slick Snowflakes, this Trans Am is an impressive resto-mod thats perfect for any Pontiac enthusiast!

Its hard not to get excited about a very limited edition car that was built for bigger power and a meaner presence. So this 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am DKM Macho not only looks different from the other T/As out there, but it was also built to leave them all behind. This car has a rarity thats easy to spot. The fenders and rear panel boldly announces its #90 in a very limited run (only 204 examples) of Trans Ams modified by DKM through the family Pontiac dealership Mecham Motors in Arizona. So think of this as like the Yenko-level treatment for 2nd gen T/As. And this example really earns its Macho name as it was given a custom paint theme that looks like the offspring of the Bandit Trans Am and a Hurst Olds. The black and gold do a great job of highlighting all the best features, like the shaker hood, flared body kit, and full-length spoiler. Snowflake wheels are a must-have for a true performance T/A. The factory-correct tan interior is a great color combo against the exterior black. And you can show it off easily thanks to the T-tops. Plus, there have been some recent investments in places like new carpeting and seat covers to keep it looking good. They even invested in some nice upgrades like the retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo that now offers a digital tuner. There are new components to offer air conditioning. But what youll really like is how much this is made to be a drivers machine. You get Pontiacs three-spoke sports steering wheel now with the rare DKM center cap. Beyond that is the machine-turned dash with the full gauge panel. And keen eyes will also notice the roll bar a rare DKM addition that also adds stiffness to the chassis. The engine bay looks terrific with the motor pulled, cleaned, and fresh components installed right down to the hoses. This kind of fresh look is exactly what youre going to love, because it makes you proud to show off this 400 cubic-inch V8. DKM made sure the Macho car lived up to its name by opening up the shaker hood to let the motor inhale the fresh air into the four-barrel carburetor. These exhaled with authority as long tube headers add power while also contributing to the thunder of the dual exhaust (this has an updated set, but whats believed to be the original Hooker headers also come with the sale.) And you get to take full advantage of this added performance with the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, this is packaged as a tight-handling WS6 car that includes a limited slip rear end and sway bars front & rear. It goes great with the power steering and front disc brakes for a fine all-around performance machine. This car has rarity in a slick and powerful package, so that should check all your boxes for a cool and distinct classic. Dont let this Macho T/A slip away.

Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced February 1967, the same model year as GMs Chevrolet division platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Fords upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang.The name "Firebird" was also previously used by GM for the General Motors Firebird 1950s and early-1960s concept cars.Changes for 1978 were slight, with a switch from a honeycomb to a crosshatch pattern grille being the most obvious from the outside. Beginning in 1978, the Pontiac group introduced a new special edition vehicle. The Firebird Formula LT Sport Edition which featured a revised 10% raised compression Chevy 305 V8 powertrain producing 155 hp (same as 1977 Chevy Monza Mirage) combined with a floor center console four-speed manual T-10 BW transmission coupled to a limited-slip differential final drive. The limited touring package (LT) also included a cabin roof, door, fender and hood graphics scheme, the Trans-Am sports handling package with HD gas shocks, modular alloy wheels and the SE Trans-Am rear deck spoiler with "Formula" word graphic detail. T-tops in 1978 transitioned from Hurst units to Fisher (GM) in mid year.

1978 PONTIAC TRANS AM SOLAR GOLD! Restored with all new brakes, brake lines, and stainless exhaust system. Originally a 400, It has received a period-correct Pontiac 455 HO. The engine has been rebuilt with a more aggressive camshaft and long-tube headers, producing at least 375 HP. The Turbohydramatic 400 transmission has been rebuilt with a shift kit and a B & M quick silver ratchet-action shifter correctly fitted factory center console. The rear end is a 3.42 safe-t-track (Pontiacs name for posi-traction) with all new axle bearings and seals. It has a new 4 core-radiator to accommodate added HP. The exterior virtually flawless paint and body, deep lustrous shine, all decals, trim and chrome are like brand new--a real head turner everywhere it goes. PERFECTLY RUST FREE in, out and under--a tribute to its being built in dry Van Nuys, California, and spending most of its life in dry Las Vegas, NV. The seats, carpet, door panel, headliner are all 100% original and in beautiful condition--no rips or tears! Look like less than 2 years old, not 40 years old! Even the factory original trunk mat, floor jack and vintage space-saver spare are there in the rust-free trunk and in good shape! It has factory A/C converted to R134, power steering, power brakes (disk front/drum rear), and perfect original snowflake rims with all new tires. 1977-78 are the iconic, ultra-collectable Bandit Trans Am years everyone desires. This Bandit gold edition has won several shows, looks stunning, sounds mean and drives great (nice, flat cornering!). It has 41000 original miles and only a little than 2000 miles since the rebuild in 2003. (A/C needs a recharge, adjust/replace back-up lamp switch, etc.). -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or call
