Classic Car Overview
Feast your eyes on this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am, a Pro Touring brute wrapped in deep, jet-black paint laid over solid, original rust-free panels. The body is absolutely stunning, with multiple layers of clear that give it a true mirror finish. It’s the kind of black paint that looks wet even in the shade, perfectly highlighting the straight lines, sculpted curves, and iconic Trans Am attitude. Panel fitment is spot on. This car has the presence of a showpiece long before you even touch the ignition.
But trust us.... you will want to touch that ignition.
Under the hood sits a fully built 455 torque monster, pumping out an impressive 473 horsepower and a brutal 588 lb-ft of torque. It’s dressed with a full Tru Trac Billet Specialties pulley system, giving the engine bay a modern, high-end look to match its performance. The build features an Eagle rotating assembly, Howards cam, roller lifters, double roller timing chain, stainless rockers, and ARP hardware throughout. Airflow and power are unleashed through Edelbrock aluminum D-port heads, an Edelbrock intake, and an 850 Quick Fuel carb, all fed by premium fuel lines and fittings for flawless delivery.
A Wilwood aluminum master cylinder, Billet Specialties power steering, Vintage Air Gen IV heat & A/C, and a billet hood hinge kit elevate both performance and comfort. Keeping this beast cool is a Ron Francis aluminum radiator with matching overflow bottle and electric fans, the perfect setup for a big 455 built to perform.
Underneath: Show Car Clean. Pro Touring Serious.
The undercarriage of this Trans Am is just as impressive as the top side. The spotless original floors were blasted and painted, revealing crisp factory seams, clean spot welds, and even the lower quarter panel drain plugs looking factory-fresh. It is the kind of underbody you show off with pride.
Up front, the car runs all-new upgr
