Classic Car Overview

This 1978 Pontiac Trans Am is a documented, numbers-matching survivor with just 20,482 original miles. Exterior is finished in Starlight Black over Camel colored interior. This Trans Am retains its original numbers matching 400 CID V8 and represents an increasingly rare, investment-grade example of late-1970s Pontiac performance.

This Trans Am is a Southern original rust-free car. The undercarriage is clean and solid, consistent with a southern, rust-free original car. This Trans Am has all original body panels. The interior is in excellent condition with very little wear. All the gauges work and the AC blows cold air. The wheels have no corrosion or curb rash. This black and gold Trans Am still has the original spare and jack in the trunk.

Low-mile, documented examples like this Pontiac Trans Am are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making this an excellent addition to any serious collection and a strong long-term investment opportunity.

Additional detailed photos and walk-around videos are available upon request.
