1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Relisting due to a non paying bidder.

If you do not intend on going thru with the purchase, Do Not Bid!

This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was purchased brand new in

January 1978

at Somerset Pontiac/GMC in Troy, Michigan. Its was repainted sometime in the 80 s Gold from its original Starlight Black. It was his daily driver and over time became tired and run down. He gave it to his Son and his Fiancé in California in 1994 with their plan of restoring it. It sat in their yard until 1998 when it was purchased by its present owner who brought it to Arizona. It sat in his yard until early last year when he started working on it. The motor was sent out and rebuilt. The Transmission and Rear End were serviced and gone thru. Radiator was rebuilt. All the sub frame and body bushings have been replaced with poly graphite. Unfortunately he passed away and couldn't finish the car, I'm selling it for his Daughter.

(Vehicle Condition) This Trans Am needs someone to take it to the next level and finish the restoration. The motor and transmission runs and performs well. The Brakes and Rear End also run and Perform well! This car has never been in an accident. It does have some rust and bubbling in the paint on the hood edge, lower rear quarter panels and lower edge of the rear window. The rest of the car, floor pan, fire wall, trunk, frame, etc.. are Nice and Solid. Trunk, d oors

and hood all open and close smoothly. It has the original windshield with the selling dealer decal in the left corner but it has a crack. The rest of the window glass is Nice, no cracks or breaks. The paint is shot and there are dents and dings. T he interior is original except for the vintage after market stereo and speakers. It n eeds a restoration to be perfect.

The dash is nice with only 1 crack. All the gauges work including the clock except the oil pressure.

Overall the car is nice and complete.

All parts needed to finish the restoration are available through restoration parts suppliers. There are a couple boxes of parts that I need to pick up that will go with the car.
