1978 Pontiac Trans AM Y88 455ci, 5 Speed - Fully Restored, Low Miles
Stock Number: 30 - This is a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am Y88 Special Edition. This Y88 was sold New at Mitchell Motor Company in Mitchell, SD and soon after, made its way out to Sunny California. It includes the PHS Factory Invoice and the Original Build Sheet. It received a full-body off, rotisserie restoration on a rust-free California Trans AM. It still has all its original body panels and it received a Show Quality Paint Job by Restore A Muscle Car. This Trans AM has a professionally built Pontiac 455ci V8 under the hood, putting out 500 hp. That is routed through a Tremec 5 Speed Transmission. You will be riding in class with this high-quality, fully restored Y88 Special Edition. This car doesn't even have 1000 miles on it since it was restored a few years ago. You can eat off the bottom of this car, and the paint is better than show quality. It is an 11 out of 10 in quality and finish. The interior was done over the top with originally sourced GM material. It runs and drives out super strong. Ready to Drive, Show, and Enjoy.
