1978 Pontiac TRANS AM PRO TOURING

• Metallic blue paint is glossy with gold pinstripes, a large gold hood bird, and TA 6.6 lettering on the shaker scoop; no rust, dents or chips are visible on the body.
• The car sits on gold snowflake-style wheels with BFGoodrich tires showing deep tread.
• This is a different car from the other 1978 Trans Am Pro Touring at the same dealer — that one is black with a black interior and a 5-speed manual; this car is blue-metallic with a tan interior and an automatic.
• The tan bucket seats show light soiling and darkening on the fabric, most visible on the driver's seat, but no splits or tears; the tan headliner is intact.
• The engine-turned dash panel carries aftermarket gauges and a modern stereo, the console shifter is an automatic, and keys with a remote fob are photographed on the console; no legible odometer reading shows in the gauge photos.
• The engine bay is tidy, with a modern V8 painted body colour over its intake and covers, an aluminium radiator and a modern A/C compressor.
• Lift photos show black-coated floors, subframe connectors and dual exhaust, with surface rust and heat discolouration on both mufflers and sections of pipe.
• The last photos in the set are workshop build-stage shots showing the engine and front subframe out of the car, not its current state.
• No trunk photos are in the set, so the trunk floor and any spare can't be judged.

Money: At $67,900 the money buys a finished blue-and-gold pro-touring car whose underside is unusually well documented on a lift — budget for seat-fabric cleaning and keeping an eye on the surface-rusted mufflers, while the unphotographed trunk is the one area that can't be judged at this price.
