1978 Trans Am documented WS6 W72 4 speed Hurst t tops Solar Gold

Pontiac Trans Am 1978 Description

TheWS6/W72 combination quickly established the 1978Trans Am as the "King of the Hill".

Magazines loved the car and the spring 1978 issue of Road Test magazine squared off a Z28, a Corvette, and a Trans Am in a street fight.

The T/A was clearly chosen as the easiest car to drive fast.

Now is the time to buy, they have just started to command the attention and price and will go up from here.

Up for auction is a Documented 1978 WS6/W72 Four speed, Hurst T-Tops, Solar Gold with Camel Lombardy Cloth Interior and manual windows. This was theproduction hot rodcombination in 1978 with a extra 40hp over the normal T/As. The Hurst tops was changed to fisher tops early in 1978 so production numbers will be lower for these.
