Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this stunning 1978 Trans Am which is in fantastic overall condition with low actual miles of 75,847. This is a very unique Trans Am in factory white paint over factory white and red interior. I have been attending the Trans Am Nationals yearly for nearly a decade and have never seen a TA like this one from the factory. Its a stunning and RARE combination and I am sure one of few built like it. This Trans Am features a nice older repaint in factory Cameo White with brand new decals, a beautiful white over red interior, and a nice running 400 Pontiac engine. This Trans Am is finished in the beautiful and desirable color combinations of Cameo White (code 11) over White/Red (code 11r) standard vinyl interior. This is the factory color scheme as verified on the trim tag and PHS Docs pictured below.
Exterior
The Cameo White exterior is in great overall driver condition. This Trans Am was treated to a professional repaint in factory Cameo White years ago but still has a nice shine and the new decals were just installed and look perfect. It was believed by previous owners that this TA came from the factory without decals but PHS shows that decals were installed when new, therefore we added the correct decals. The paint is in great overall driver condition and both bumpers are in good shape with no flaking or faded paint. There may be some minor imperfections that are not noticeable in the photos, but noting was intentionally excluded from the photos. Tires are brand new with less than 100 miles on them and are sized 255/60/15 and the 15x8" snowflake wheels are brand new and in perfect shape with brand new center caps and lug nuts, nearly $2000 was just spent on these wheels and tires. All weather stripping and window sweeps are in great condition. Trunk is very solid and clean with the original style trunk mat.
Interior
The White and Red standard vinyl interior of this Trans Am is in fantastic condition. It truly is unique and one of a kind and ordered this way from the factory. Again, I have never seen one like this one before and it is a stunning look. The front seat covers have been replaced and are like new with no noticeable wear. The carpet is like new as well with no stains, rips, or holes. The original dash is in excellent condition with no cracks or fading and the dash bezel is in excellent condition as well. The two prong AM/FM Cassette Pioneer stereo was installed years ago in the factory position so nothing was cut in the dash, and it sounds nice with the newer Pioneer speakers. The original door panels are in good condition and both door pulls are solid and in tact. The headliner is original and dropping in a few areas and package tray looks to be original as well and in good shape. All interior lights and gauges work as they should outside of the clock, and the oil pressure gauge is intermittent. This TA was ordered with very few factory options which is a throw back to the older muscle cars back in the day. The stereo, wipers, and blower motor all work, the horn is currently not working properly and appears to need a new horn sensor. This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma what so ever.
Mechanical
This Trans Am is in great mechanical condition with only 75,847 actual miles. This TA was ordered from the factory with a W72 400 Pontiac engine with a factory 4 speed transmission. For reasons unknown those were removed years ago and a fresh "WT" coded Pontiac 400 and automatic transmission with Hurst dual gate shifter were installed. The 400 Pontiac engine was from a 1974 model and is in great running condition. We have driven this TA numerous times on the streets and highways and it always performs very well, does not run hot, rides tight, and is a true joy to drive. In the video one can observe this car running and driving with no excessive rattles or noises, and the car handles and performs very well. This Trans Am is an great driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. It starts right away every time, idles well, and runs great. The brakes do not pull and stop as they should. True dual exhaust was added with headers and gives this TA and nice rumble at idle and cruising speeds. Also, the engine is exceptionally clean and nicely detailed as one can see from the photos. This is a factory non AC car which really cleans up the engine bay area. This TA has been loved and meticulously cared for by its previous owners and several wear items have been replaced. The outstanding way this TA looks and drives is a true testament to prior owners care and love for this special TA.
