Few cars define the late 1970s quite like a black Pontiac Trans Am. Nearly 50 years after Smokey and the Bandit turned the Trans Am into a cultural icon, this 1978 Pontiac Trans Am delivers the unmistakable look, sound, and attitude that made an entire generation fall in love with Pontiac's legendary muscle car.

Finished in its original black over black color combination, this Trans Am has exactly the presence these cars are known for. Under the hood remains its original 6.6-liter V8, backed by an automatic transmission. Equipped with power steering, power front disc brakes, dual exhaust, power windows, and ice-cold air conditioning, this is a classic that's every bit as enjoyable from behind the wheel as it is sitting at a car show.

The exterior retains a super-solid body and has received just one repaint in its original black color. We would rate the paint approximately 8.5 out of 10very attractive and something you can be proud to show, while still being a car you won't be afraid to actually drive and enjoy. The iconic Pontiac Snowflake wheels complete the unmistakable Trans Am appearance.

Inside, the black interior is outstanding, presenting at approximately a 9 out of 10 in our opinion. The cockpit is pure late-'70s Pontiac, and importantly, the equipment works as it should. The gauges, radio, windshield wipers, power windows, and other features function properly, making this a refreshingly sorted example rather than a list of weekend projects waiting for its next owner.

Recent service has also been completed, and mechanically this Trans Am is ready to go. It starts the first time, every time, runs strong, and drives exceptionally well. Turn the key, hear that 6.6-liter V8 through the dual exhaust, drop it into gear, and it's easy to understand why these cars have remained so desirable for nearly half a century.

This isn't being represented as a flawless trailer queen. Instead, it's something many enthusiasts would argue is even better: a beautiful, well-sorted, highly presentable Trans Am that you can actually drive. With its black-on-black presentation, original 6.6-liter V8, cold A/C, excellent interior, desirable options, solid body, and unmistakable styling, it checks a lot of boxes.

Whether Smokey and the Bandit first made you want one or you've simply always appreciated the attitude of Pontiac's second-generation F-body, this 1978 Trans Am offers the opportunity to put one of America's most recognizable classics in your own garage.
