1978 PONTIAC TRANS AM - "W72 400 ci V8 & 4 speed MANUAL" in its beautiful MAYAN RED, BLACK INTERIOR and ONLY 72,990 original miles (TMU)..
This is the one folks... ordered with the "W72 Performance Pckg" ie a 400 4-SPEED CAR (WC Coe Stamped Block) that you have been looking for and boy is it hot (400/M21 4-Speed car, meaning it is just one of 6,777 produced)!! One of the best sounding TA'S we've had yet with a solid RUST FREE body in it beautiful ORIGINAL BORN COLOR of Mayan Red and a interior that is in amazing condition as well. P/S, P/B and a hot heater is of the few options it was ordered with and has a aftermarket radio that currently is not working. The bottom side is very nice, has had a high dollar exhaust done, sounds like it may have been lightly modified but has been done right. Paint is in very nice condition and shines like new.
Here is what we have been told about the cars history:
"On November 8, 1977, Chester F. Grochoski, Jr., a business owner, purchased this car new from Orson E. Coe Pontiac, Inc. in Grand Rapids, MI with just 5 miles recorded on the odometer, as stated on the warranty booklet. The car has stayed in Michigan since and has recently been the recipient of a restoration which was started in 2010 and since finished, only 370 miles have been recorded. According to the build sheet and matching data tag, the car came from the factory in Mayan Red (code 75) paint over a Black Oxen (code 19R). Other noteworthy codes include JL2 Power Brakes, L78 V8 400 4BBL, M21 4-Speed Transmission, WS4 Trans Am, and W72 Performance Package. All engine, tr**ny, axel, etc. components are numbers matching and were preserved in the restoration. It also had a little giddy-up added. Extensive machine work was done. The motor was professionally CNC Ported and Polished with Competition Cam and Lifters, Performance Rollers, and Custom Exhaust installed."
If you are looking for a iconic 70's TA then this one is worth a serious look! We have had this to our Service Center so it is freshly inspected, serviced and also new belts. They only come around this nice and solid once in awhile and here is another example. We have put several miles on this car and it appears to have been well cared for it's whole life... it is obvious. SALE PRICED $37,995
