This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am was sold new in Kutztown, Pennsylvania and was recently acquired by the selling dealer from its second owner of 26 years. Power is sent to the rear wheels from a 6.6-liter W72 V8 through a 4-speed manual transmission and positraction rear end, and factory options include the WS6 performance package, Hurst T-tops, and Firebird hood decal. Records show muffler and tire replacements by the previous owner, and the car was recently serviced by the selling dealer with an oil change and safety check. This T/A shows 62k indicated miles and is offered with its original build sheet, window sticker, owner’s manuals, and a clear Pennsylvania title.

The body is finished in Solar Gold paint that is shown from various angles in the gallery and video below. The WS6 package incorporated a larger-diameter sway bar, tighter steering box gear ratio, and 15″ Snowflake wheels.

A walk-around video is provided above. Photos show blemishes and touch-ups along with a small area of rust-through on the lower right rear quarter panel.

The cabin is finished in Camel Tan vinyl upholstery with matching carpets and a silver engine-turned dash fascia. Gallery photos display creasing on the driver’s outer bolster, degradation of the door opening edging, and marks on the rear arm rests.

Gauges, controls, and powered accessories are detailed in several photos below. The 5-digit odometer reads approximately 62k miles.

The 400ci W72 V8 was rated at 220 horsepower when new and features a shaker scoop and dual exhaust. Power is distributed through a Borg-Warner Super T-10 4-speed manual transmission with the correct 3.42:1 rear axle ratio and equipped with positraction (G80). Records from the second owner document muffler replacements and the car was recently serviced with an oil change and safety check.

A cold-start demonstration can be viewed in the video above.

Records indicate the car was treated with a rust inhibitor when new. The undercarriage is pictured in several additional photos in the gallery below.

Documentation includes the factory build sheet and original window sticker displaying a MSRP of $7,550 as well as detailing factory options and specifications.
