Show winner. Head turner. Investment quality.

PHS documents this is a real Y82. W72. WS6. Manual Transmission. Black on Black Special Edition. One of the most desirable. rarest and hardest to find in this condition. One of only 489 built in 1978 out of 93000 Trans Ams as a real Y82. W72 and Manual transmission. plus it has the WS6 option the first year that option was offered. Restoration completed 8 years ago. Paint is still conservatively 9. 5 out of 10. Car is straight. Rotisserie restored to stock. Original numbers matching engine and transmission both rebuilt. Correct carburetor number. Restored underside. look at the pics.

The Hurst T-Tops leak (don't they all). But weatherstrip is new all around - doors. windows. trunk and the TTops so go figure. New carpet. new Lombardy cloth seats as original. new package tray and headliner and dash bezel is restored. not a decal. Dash is original and has a crack where it curves. Was repaired but is visible if you look closely. see pic. New BFG tires. and the correct 1978-only WS6 8" Snowflake wheels. Space saver tire in trunk with inflator and jack. New brake system all around.

What I've changed is the Posi rear end is now 2. 73 for easier high speed cruising. Car runs 2000 RPM at 70 MPH instead of over 3000. pulls great with the mild cam. It also now has Pypes 2-1/2 exhaust and no cat converter. Air blows ice cold. Rear defog works. All gauges work. clock works. All lights work.

Ask lots of questions now. before you bid. If you bid and win. you buy. Winning the auction does not entitle you to come over and start renegotiating the deal. There are lots of certified appraisers in Albuquerque you can send over and get an unbiased opinion for you before the auction ends. and I'll be more than happy to accommodate them. If you want to drop by and look it over. let me know.
