Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am which has been restored and is in really nice overall condition with a nice running original Pontiac 400 engine coupled with an automatic transmission. This TA was treated to some nice sought after upgrades like vintage air, Edelbrock Intake, and a professionally installed audio system. This Trans Am features a repaint in Factory Marty Blue, a fully restored interior, a good running 400 engine, and added vintage air. This Trans Am is finished the beautiful and desirable color combination of Martinique Blue (code 24) over Blue cloth deluxe interior. This is the factory color scheme as seen on the trim tag photographed above and original window sticker.
Exterior
The Blue exterior is in nice driver restored condition. This Trans Am was treated to a repaint in Marty Blue Metallic with new decals and still shows well. The paint is in good overall condition and has a nice gloss and smooth touch, with a good shine. Both bumpers are in good shape with no flaking or faded paint and the nose crest emblem was changed. The rear bumper on the drivers side does have some blemishes. There may be some minor imperfections that are not noticeable in the photos, but noting was intentionally excluded from the photos. Tires have full tread left and drive nicely and the Snowflake wheels were recently added with new center caps and lug nuts and look new. All weather stripping and window sweeps are newer and in great condition. Trunk is solid and clean with an aftermarket trunk mat and 4 way power amp. The underside looks good and solid with some suspension parts upgraded like rear air shocks and body mounts and sway bar links.
Interior
The Blue interior of this Trans Am has been nicely restored. The seat covers are like new and were replaced and show no signs of any major wear. The carpet is like new as well with no major stains, rips, or holes and was replaced. The original dash is in great shape and the dash bezel is good as well. A modern style pioneer stereo was installed and sounds great in the car and 4 new speakers were added and powered by a 4 way amp. mounted in the trunk. The shifter plate was changed and so was the console lid. The door panels are newer and in excellent condition and the arm rests are in tact and work as they should. The headliner and package tray have also been replaced and both are in like new condition. All interior lights and gauges work as they should outside of the clock. The horn, wipers, stereo, and blower motor all work. This TA has upgraded Vintage AC and heat and works very well. This is a direct bolt in kit for this car and comes with and entire new system consisting of a new blower motor, new dash controls, new compressor, new lines, etc. This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma what so ever and no stains in the ash tray.
Mechanical
This Trans Am is in good mechanical condition and the 400 engine runs well. The 400 engine is numbers matching to the car and is the original engine that this TA came with. The automatic transmission shifts well and drives as it should. A new q jet carb. was added along with a new Edelbrock Intake manifold. A new aluminum radiator was added. New spark plug wires were added. A complete new vintage AC system was added and works well.
In the video one can observe this car running and driving with no excessive rattles or noises, and the car handles and performs well. This Trans Am is a great driver that feels good on the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. It starts right away every time and runs well. The brakes do not pull while driving and stop well. A complete new Magnaflow exhaust system was professionally added with a newer cat. converter which gives this TA a good rumble at idle and cruising speeds. There is a small exhaust leak especially at cold start. Also, the engine is clean and nicely detailed as one can see from the photos.
