1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am

What is more iconic than a classic car driving down the road, the heat off the blacktop sizzling and over the horizon a pair of headlights drive towards you. In that brief moment you recognize one of the most famous cars ever built, and up for sale here in our Tampa showroom is this car, a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am. Legendary in both style and performance, the Trans Am built its tradition during the late 1960's alongside the Chevy Camaro to bring another look and different options to the Pony car craze. These cars were only made even more popular when Burt Reynolds decided to haul some beer across state lines in 1977. Single handedly making this car an icon for both collectors and renegades, the 1978 Trans Am is a true powerhouse. Built with a 6.6L V8 that just angrily pumps out raw horsepower, and flowing down to the automatic transmission, meaning this car is perfect for you to hop in, load up and start hauling it across the country. The interior is a very comfortable black vinyl sport bucket seats, with center console and a beautifully done brushed dashboard that matches the overall look of the car. Complete with a large back seat to either store your passengers or your contraband, the entire layout of this car is very thought out. The trunk space is large enough to store everything you need for either a day out at a car show, a trip to the grocery store or simply to take a vacation with since this car has a certain appeal worth driving out on the open highways with. The exterior is the incredibly popular choice of Black and Gold, with the giant Phoenix mounted on the shaker hood and complete with gold vinyl "6.6L" mounted to the shaker. The fender flares are also accented properly with gold vinyl striping, completing the look of the Bandit car. So whether you are looking for a collector piece, an amazing daily driver, or maybe just a blocker car, this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am is sure to impress!
