This is a very Special 1978 TA with T-Tops , it has a high performance 455 ci V8 engine and Doug Nash 5 Speed transmission. Overall shape of the car is a 9.9 out of 10 with 10 being flawless. There has been over 48,000 invested in this car the past 11 years! This car got the best of everything with no expense spared. The car has been restored and no rust issues are present. The engine is all new within the last 4 years and has only 4900 miles on the professional rebuild. It has a custom rebuilt 462 cubic inch pontiac motor that produces 500 horses and 540 foot pounds of torque on 93 plus octane ( drive it anywhere)! This car is very drivable and dependable and has all around great performance. It has a Doug Nash 5 speed with a 3.08 rear which is equivalent to 4.56 1st and 1 to 1 in 5th...radical off the line acceleration and great highway cruising. The car has been lowered 2 inches and sits on 17" Torque Thrust II wheels with brand new Kumho directional 255/45R17 wheels. All the receipts, manuals and literature for this car is included. Oh yea, even the dyno sheets are included! It would cost well over 40K to buy a stock TA and put into it whats already been done to this. This car has been restored over the last 11 years. It was never given the second best of anything. The engine alone has over 14K in parts and labor. The interior has over 3k invested in it. The transmission, bell housing, shifter, drive shaft total over are the best and very exepensive equipment. . The stereo system plus installation was over 4K. with soobwoofers, amps and too many other things to list now. Guauges were individually installed on the original swirled bezel, they look just amazing and will help you to keep real readings of engine behavior. The suspension upgrades, wheels, tires cost over 3500.00. The engine is tight and runs perfect-NO LEAKS! The car has just had a new clutch installed and the engine was totally resealed with fel-pro gaskets and neoprene 2 piece rear main seal. The carb was also rebuilt with edelbrock rebuild kit and performs flawlessly. You can drive this car anywhere without fear of overheating or breaking down-very reliable! The transmission and rear end are in perfect working condition. The suspension is tight with pretty solid motor mounts and subframe connectors-very muscle car feeling. The car handles like it is on rails due to being lowered 2 inches and having polyurethane body bushings. Be aware, it sounds like a jet going down the street and thumps at idle due to large cam. The body is perfect with no dents no scratches, showroom finish. Undercarriage is perfect and painted with POR and undercoated to keep it that way. Also rubberized and undercoated under the carpeting to protect the perfect factory floorboards and trunk. This car has never been abused . This car is set up for great street performance and reliability. Anyone looking for a great showroom Trans Am and a extreme fast machine will not be disappointed. This car is not set up for emissions but can be made so with minor carb adjustments, catalytic converters and charcoal canister. I am one of the owners of Trans Am Specialties (see all the trans ams we had restored and/or sold lately at
www.taspecialties.com) .This is my favorite Trans Am due to its power and shape. . This car is a true rocket, will smoke any other vehicle, including any modern expensive sports car (now i think Jay Leno will want to trade his Toronado for this one..lol) I have the original snowflakes rims nicely restored in a box and a complete set of Special Edition decals That I will install this week. This car could easily appear in any hot rod magazine. Car is in our shop in Florida. Please email me with your questions or offers. I can send you pictures from many angles. Asking only $35,000 Thanks and God Bless
