Pontiac - Trans Am - 1978

Pontiac Firebird Trans Am W72 “Bandit” – Black & Gold – Partly Restored – EU Ready

GENERAL:

A true American icon from the golden era of muscle cars. This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am W72 is a genuine factory Black & Gold example — not a clone and not a tribute. The car has been partly restored while carefully preserving its originality and character, offering the ideal balance between collector appeal and enjoyable drivability.

The odometer shows (1)04,385 miles. The vehicle presents exceptionally well and has benefited from cosmetic and interior refurbishment, while maintaining its authentic factory identity.

BODY & PAINT:

Finished in its legendary black with gold Trans Am graphics, the paintwork is in excellent condition with a deep gloss and sharp detailing. The car has a strong visual presence without being over-restored, retaining its original character.

It sits on its original Snowflake wheels, further enhancing its authentic appearance. The underside is clean and solid and has been professionally undercoated for long-term protection.

The car is equipped with power steering and power brakes. The W72 package was the most powerful drivetrain available for the 1978 model year, making this example especially desirable among collectors. The vehicle is turnkey and delivers the unmistakable late-1970s muscle car experience.

INTERIOR:

The deluxe custom interior has been refreshed while staying true to factory style and specification. The dashboard, headliner, carpeting, door panels, and sill plates have been renewed, along with additional interior trim components.

Factory features include power windows, a tilt steering wheel, and factory tinted glass. The cabin presents clean, fresh, and period-correct, offering comfort, functionality, and authenticity.
