This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am was stored from 1987 until 2012. Subsequent refurbishment have involved a repaint, rebuilding the 400ci V8, an overhaul of the brakes, and replacement of the headliner, alternator, and radiator. The car is finished in Chesterfield Brown over a black interior and equipped with a four-speed manual transmission, a Positraction rear end with a 3.42:1 gear ratio, a shaker hood, 15” snowflake wheels, a Kenwood head unit with HD radio, and a Hurst T-handle shifter.
The 400ci V8 have been rebuilt following long term storage and is fitted with an aftermarket oil pump, camshaft, and pistons. The carburetor have been rebuilt and the radiator, alternator, hoses, and heater core were replaced. A new battery was installed in 2023 and an oil change was performed in preparation for sale. The four-speed manual transmission features a replacement Hays clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing and sends power to the rear wheels through a Positraction differential.
A replacement windshield was also installed, and exterior features include Trans Am decals, a shaker hood with a Trans Am hood decal, fender vents, front and rear spoilers, and quad exhaust outlets.
Cast aluminum 15″ snowflake wheels are mounted with 255/60 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T white-letter tires.
The brakes have been overhauled, including a rebuild of the booster and replacement of the lines, front rotors, wheel bearings, and rear brake components.
A Hurst line lock was added and replacement Bilstein shocks and rear leaf springs were also installed.
The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear split bench trimmed in black vinyl along with matching door panels and carpeting.
The headliner was replaced during the refurbishment and amenities include a Kenwood HD radio, a Hurst T-handle shifter, and crank windows.
A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of an engine-turned instrument panel that houses a 100-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and voltage.
The five-digit odometer shows 68k miles.
