The 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition is an iconic classic that carries a rich history and exceptional provenance. This remarkable vehicle, with its rare and distinctive features, embodies the spirit of a bygone era, and it's a true gem for any collector or enthusiast.

Draped in the stunning Solar Gold exterior and complemented by the elegant Camel Tan interior, this Trans Am showcases the true essence of the Y88 Special Gold Appearance Package. This combination of colors is synonymous with the late '70s and radiates a sense of nostalgia and sophistication.

Mated to a 4-speed manual transmission, it promises an engaging and thrilling driving experience that enthusiasts cherish.

This particular Trans Am has been under the care of a single owner, accumulating a mere 47,000 original miles over the years. Such low mileage and consistent ownership attest to the vehicle's exceptional preservation and care.

What sets this Trans Am apart is its rare status as one of only 1,267 built in 1978, making it a truly collectible piece. The inclusion of the original window sticker, bill of sale, and build sheet adds historical context and a fascinating peek into the options and features of the time. The presence of T-Tops, a tilt steering wheel, and factory air conditioning further enhances the car's desirability, making it a well-rounded classic.

This 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition is not just a car; it's a time capsule of the late '70s, reflecting the unique culture and style of that era. Whether you're a Pontiac enthusiast, a collector seeking a well-documented gem, or simply someone who appreciates the charisma of classic American muscle cars, this Trans Am is a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history with unmatched character, style, and authenticity.
