Info about this vehicle:

1978 Pontiac Trans Am 1978 Pontiac Trans Am two-door coupe finished in Black. Rear-wheel drive configuration powered by a 6.6-litre (403ci) Oldsmobile V8 petrol engine paired with a 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 44,626 miles. Seating for four occupants. Description / Overview: This is the real thing. The W-code VIN (2W87KBL185139) confirms this is a genuine 1978 Trans Am, not a Firebird clone. Van Nuys-built, Olds 403-powered, gold Firebird hood decal, T/A 6.6 shaker scoop, and all four original WS6 gold snowflake wheels. The car starts and runs. The vendor discloses severe rust present across the body, which is accurately documented in the photos. The listing is being sold as a restoration project and is priced accordingly. The rust is concentrated in the typical second-gen F-body locations: rear quarter panels at the sail panel junctions, cowl panel at the windshield base, and trunk gutters. These are all repairable with the right metalwork skills and patience. Everything that makes this car a Trans Am is present. The gold WS6 snowflake wheels are dirty but intact, with no cracks or visible structural damage. The T/A 6.6 shaker scoop is present and correct for the Olds 403 engine. The Firebird hood decal is faded but complete. The engine-turned Trans Am gauge panel is in the dashboard. The engine reportedly starts and runs. This is a solid foundation for a full restoration. Correctly restored W-code Trans Ams in black are among the most recognisable and desirable American muscle cars of the era. The VIN, the scoop, the snowflakes, and the running gear are all here. The metalwork is the project. Condition Notes: * Genuine W-code Trans Am (VIN confirmed) * Olds 403 / 6.6L V8 starts and runs * Severe rust in rear quarters, cowl panel and trunk area * Rocker panels and floor pans require hands-on inspection * Three dashboard gauges missing (oil pressure, temperature, tach) * Original radio replaced with aftermarket unit * Front seats mismatched, full re-trim required * Bodywork, paint and interior require full restoration * T/A 6.6 shaker scoop present * All four original WS6 gold snowflake wheels present * Gold Firebird hood decal present (faded) * Sold as-is, inspection strongly recommended Specifications Year: 1978 Make: Pontiac Model: Trans Am Body: 2-Door Coupe Steering: Left-hand drive Drive Type: Rear wheel drive Engine: 403ci (6.6-litre) Oldsmobile V8 Petrol Transmission: 3-Speed Turbo Hydra-Matic Automatic Colour: Black (Starlight Black) Seats: 4 Odometer: Indicating 44,626 Miles VIN: 2W87KBL185139 Assembly Plant: Van Nuys, California
