Pontiac Trans Am 1978Special Gold Y88 Edition.
The 1978 Trans Am won the hearts of America in “Smokey and the Bandit”!
This limited edition Y88 Gold Trans Am is one of the most desired Trans Am cars due to the beautiful Y88 Gold color and the way stylists carried the Gold theme throughout the design. The special edition gold is seen in the beautifully trimmed “Snowflake” wheels. It is seen in the uniquely machine spun golden aluminum dash trim and a detailing on the steering wheel and shifter. This theme can be seen in the Solar Gold tinted ”T” tops. It is complemented in the surrounding door trim, Vinyl upholstery and even in the door handle inserts.
This car was found in Oklahoma and lovingly updated by an enthusiast in North Carolina. The details can be seen in a recap (available upon request) outlining each area that was addressed. Bottom photos are also available upon request.
The 400 CI engine has been upgraded with a Holley 750 Double Pumper Carb, Edelbrock Intake and a performance cam, rockers, springs and timing chain. New fuel tank, fuel pump and radiator keep it humming while the new long tube Headman headers and new dual exhaust do their job. All of this is made more fun with a Pro Touring F-Body GT Suspension, Monroe Shocks and new brakes front and rear.
