Used 1978 Pontiac Firebird for Sale Nationwide

This is undoubtedly one of the sexiest cars ever made. For an american muscle cars it handles very well, surprised the heck out of me. It also comes with a big enough engine to ourtrun most anyone else, and the engine could easily be made faster if that's your thing. Didn't have it long enough to judge overall reliability, but it's still here after 30 years, and even with it tuned all wrong it pulled great, so properly maintained it's gotta be a beast.

I rebuild the motor and did some body work to it and it is an awesome car. I plan on tweaking it a bit more in due time.

Awesome, gorgeous car. nice ride. immaculate condition black with a gold trim at bottom of car no bird on hood and the dashboard had a wood look, red interior nice paint job no rust or body damage very shiny gas mileage fair. good power got caught speeding a few times.

Performance, V6 was less than powerful, but the looks made up for the rest. The interior was totally awesome camel tan velour interior and great sound system. The painted wheels were tough to keep clean, but it was a nice paint job...

I test drove a 1978 Trans Am during one of my active car searches in the early 1980s. Just about everything checked out okay. But one thing didn't: The performance! It was about as exciting as driving a full-size Pontiac. Acceleration wasn't exactly brisk, despite the fact that a big-inch 403 Olds was nestled under the hood. The torque was there, yes, but it seemed to come and go too quickly to figure into acceleration. I passed on this car and didn't look back. I had driven a 1974 Trans Am 455 Super Duty, which would quickly prove to be irreplaceable. The mid and late 1970s were a dark day in the history of automobile performance in the US.
