MaxMotive is proud to present this highly original 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. Finished in its factory Starlight Black paint over a black custom velour interior, this documented survivor is backed by Pontiac Historic Services documentation and remains with its original, numbers-matching Pontiac 400 cubic inch V8 engine.
Unlike the majority of 1978 Trans Ams equipped with the Oldsmobile 403 engine, this car retains its original Pontiac-built 400 V8, verified by matching VIN stampings. With just 44,340 miles showing on the odometer and ownership remaining with the original purchaser for decades, this Trans Am represents the type of well-preserved survivor that collectors actively seek. Factory equipment includes Hurst Hatch Roof T-Tops, air conditioning, power windows, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, remote deck lid release, cast aluminum Snowflake wheels, and the factory AM/FM stereo with 8-track player. The car also received Pontiac’s Custom Trim Group and Additional Acoustical Insulation package, enhancing comfort and refinement. The accompanying PHS documentation confirms the original color combination, drivetrain, and factory options, providing an excellent level of authenticity and provenance. Original-owner, original-paint, numbers-matching Pontiac 400 Trans Ams have become increasingly difficult to find, making this an outstanding opportunity for the collector who appreciates originality and documentation.
Whether added to a Pontiac collection, preserved as a survivor, or enjoyed on the road, this 1978 Trans Am offers the authenticity, documentation, and originality that continue to drive collector demand.
