This low mileage 1978 Trans Am is the exact car we get calls about on a regular basis here at RK Motors Charlotte. Not only does it have an interesting mix of options and an outstanding presence, it also features an aesthetically correct appearance and sells at a level that's perfect for the first time buyer! Purchased from Tessier Pontiac-GMC in Southgate, Michigan on July 7th, 1978, this refreshing blue Trans Am sported a mere 39 miles when it fell into the hands of its 19 year old original owner. Ironically named Buyers, that owner had the car titled in his mother's name for the purpose of obtaining an auto loan, despite the dealership's documentation reporting him as the original customer. And apparently the car was bought more for fun than anything else as it racked up roughly 5K miles annually until 1985, when it almost stopped logging miles altogether. Today, a correct coat of Martinique Blue covers every one of the car's panels. And that bright pigment is set off by a traditional array of 'red bird' Trans Am ornamentation and a black and blue screaming chicken hood decal. Pop this Trans Am's bright blue hood and you'll find a stout 400 cubic inch Pontiac V8 that tops out at an even 180 horsepower. Behind that engine, a correct GM Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed sends power to a familiar GM 10 bolt rear end that's fitted with mild 2.56 gears. Below that stellar powertrain a correct WS4 Trans Am suspension, which includes factory power steering, thicker sway bars, better shocks and stiffer springs, combines with standard issue power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide quick stops and great handling. And at the corners of the car, restored aluminum snow flake wheels spin classic gold paint between 'red bird' center caps and modern 225/70 BF Goodrich Radial T/As.
