Classic Car Overview
Earth MotorCars is Proud to offer this amazing: 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am W72. 16K Original Miles.
There are Trans Ams and then there are the ones collectors spend years chasing. This stunning 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am checks every box with just 16,934 original miles, a matching numbers W72 400 V8, a 4-speed manual, and the legendary WS6 handling package. Finished exactly the way enthusiasts want them, this is the kind of survivor-grade icon that instantly stops traffic and sparks conversations wherever it goes. Completely restored in 2018-2019.
The late-70s Trans Am became an American legend, dominating pop culture and defining an era of muscle. But finding one with this pedigree, documentation, originality, and mileage is becoming increasingly difficult. The W72 Performance Package represented the top-tier powerplant for 1978 and remains one of the most sought-after combinations in the second-generation Trans Am world. Paired with a BorgWarner T10 4-speed, this car delivers the raw, analog driving experience that made Pontiac a household name.
Slide into the beautiful Original Camel Deluxe interior, twist the key, and the matching numbers 400 comes alive with the unmistakable rumble only a true Pontiac V8 can provide. Pop out the desirable Fisher T-Tops, row through the gears, and youre instantly transported back to the golden era of American performance.

Cars like this simply do not surface often. Originality, documentation, low mileage, and the right options make this Trans Am far more than transportation-- it is a blue-chip collectible and a centerpiece for any serious collection.
