General description :
This unrestored beautiful 1987 Pontiac Trans AM is for sale in our Louisville KY showroom. This 1978 Mayan Red Trans Am is a collectors dream. With all the documentation that you could possibly want or need it is truly what you look for when buying an investment grade car. The original 400 engine backed by the TH350 Transmission is still intact and runs very well with the 200HP and 320 FTLBS of torque which in 1978 were staggering numbers. This hard top trans am has a great interior taken into consideration it is 40 years old and consist of the upgraded black velour. It really makes the red exterior jump out at you. The Rally wheels are a nice touch and help to set it apart from the popular snowflake wheels. Speaking of wheels this time capsule even has the original spare tire with the original can of GM tire inflator. A piece that is getting harder and harder to find. With the factory AC still there and working this 78 T/A Is ready to turn the kay and hit the road. That must be the toughest decision about this car drive it or keep the miles off and let it appreciate over the years. Either way the car is by far the best example of one I have seen.
