Title Status: Clean
Seller’s Description: 1978 Pontiac TransAm. Original interior; T-Tops; also included are the original Honeycomb wheels. 6.6-liter V-8 engine; automatic transmission. Paint color is not the original color; original color was Chesterfield Brown. Car was garaged for several years until recently (August, 2021). I originally took on the project (was my brother’s car – original owner) however, I have a few other cars that require my capital, so I need to find this one a new home. This is a project vehicle which will take a fair amount of work to get to the point where it can be a daily driver. There are no dents on the car; no accidents; some body work will be required particularly on the quarter-panels (typical place for potential problems on these cars). I have had my long-term mechanic (25+ yrs) review the vehicle and perform all of the of work listed below but more needs to be done. For the right person with tools, talent, and a garage this would be a good project to take on.
Below is an inventory of work completed to date and my mechanic’s assessment of what might still need to be completed. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have via the email below.
