1978 Pontiac Trans Am Ws6 67k Miles 3 Owner All Original Even Paint!!! on 2040-cars

Introduction: Up for auction is an extremely nice, 3 owner, 1978 Pontiac Trans Am WS6. This car features the first year for the WS6 and has a lot of rare options. Not to mention the car brandishes 99% of its original paint. The car is an extremely nice, very original, Matching Numbers, Trans Am with a nicely preserved 67,000 miles. Let's take a walk around it and see what she has to offer.

Exterior: Pouring over all of these classic Trans Am lines is a lustrous code 19 Starlight black finish. The body is 100% original Detroit iron and in excellent condition. The paint is in very good condition as well and maintains 99% originality. There is an area on the rear driver's side quarter panel that was blended after a scratch was repaired. There was also a scratch on the hood that was blended to hide a scratch. Other than those two small areas the rest is original. There is some paint checking on the driver's side "B" pillar (see pics) as well there are some small rust bubbles on the lower driver's door (see pics) There are a couple of other spots that has some pulling (see pics) Again this is all original body and paint that is razor straight and looks perfect from 5 feet away. The body is very straight and has a mirror like reflection. All the glass is in great condition and is chip, scratch, and crack free.  The Fisher  T-tops fit snuggly into place, are in great condition, and seal very well. The original Factory Fisher T-Top bags are included with the car. Every light, signal, and indicator work properly. As you can see even the original, unpainted, wheel spoiler welting is in pristine condition.

Interior: Straight off the showroom floor, this nicely appointed muscle car interior is as mint as they come  The original black vinyl interior is in outstanding condition and has been nicely preserved as well. The seats show very minimal wear with no burns, stains, rips, or holes. Carpet, door panels, headliner, console, etc are in great shape as well. The interior is totally complete and functional. All of the gauges function properly, gauge lights are bright and work nicely with the dimmer. I have owned several of these cars and have not seen one that the every light, switch, and system function properly and reliably. Even the clock keeps accurate time and the cigarette lighter actually works. Power windows work well. 

This car features:

Pulse wipers

Rare radio delete option

Power trunk release

Rear window defrost

Cruise control

Power windows

Air conditioning

All 4 original GM floor mats

Fisher T-Top bags

The air conditioning works and blows very cold. Heat works great too and the blower motor functions at all speeds. Power windows move with ease and seal very nicely. There is a small wear hole in the carpet on the driver's side from the heal of a shoe resting on it over the years. Other than that the interior is perfect! The dash and rear package tray are straight and free of holes, cracks, or warpage.

Mechanical: Turn the key and bring to life the numbers matching 6.6L 400 Pontiac V8. The engine runs very strong and is incredibly smooth. There has never been any leaks or smoking of any kind.  The odometer reads 67,757 and runs very well. In 1996 she was titled with 53,500 miles. She always starts and has never left me stranded. She runs cool all day long and maintains about 60psi+ oil pressure at cruising speed. The TH350 trans shifts out nice and firm the way it is supposed. The car handles and drives very tight and effortless. The steering is responsive and tight with no slop. The brakes bring everything to a halt promptly and smoothly. The floors, trunk, and frame rails are in outstanding condition. The handling of the car is very responsive and stable. It is a blast to drive! Everything under the hood is completely original with every factory valve, vacuum line, reservoir, and wiring still in tact and uncut. The original owner worked for the Holley company and installed one of the first aluminum intakes on this car. I still have the original complete manifold setup that goes with the car.

Original window sticker (with copy)

Both original build sheets (with copies)

Any piece of paperwork that came with the car when purchased

Several maintenance receipts

Warranty booklets

Original owners manual

PHS documentation
