Car Engine:
#S MATCHING ENGINE AND CARBURETOR WERE TOTALLY REBUILT, AND ENGINE WAS GUN SHOT AT THE SAME TIME ALONG WITH ALL NEW CORRECT HOSES AND BELTS INSTALLED, GIVING THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT A CORRECT NATIONAL LEVEL SHOW QUALITY CONDITION AND APPEARANCE.
Exterior:
AFTER A TWO YEAR SEARCH FOR MY DREAM CAR WAS FINALIZED, A TOTALLY RUST FREE 1978 DOCUMENTED SPECIAL EDITION, WITH THE WS6 SPECIAL PERF. AND HANDLING PKG., ATTACHED TO AN ARROW STRAIGHT BODY, THE ONLY CHANGE I DECIDED TO MAKE, WAS TO CHANGE THE SOLAR GOLD PAINT WHICH WAS A LITTLE TIRED, TO THE ONLY OTHER AVAIL. SPECIAL EDITION COLOR, THE STARLIGHT (BANDIT) BLACK, WHICH I DID, TO THE TUNE OF $ 8,300.00, INCLUDING NEW CORRECT STRIPING, LETTERING AND HOOD BIRD APPLIED, FROM PHOENIX GRAPHIX. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A VERY EXPENSIVE DECISION, BUT AFTER VIEWING THE FINISHED PRODUCT, IT WAS A DECISION THAT I WILL NEVER REGRET. IT IS EASILY THE BEST PAINT WORK, I HAVE EVER SEEN ON ANY TRANS AM. KUDOS TO MIKE JABER, THE OWNER OF WESTCOASTFIREBIRDS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA. HE DID ALL OF THE PAINT WORK HIMSELF, AND WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION ON MY TRANS AM SPECIAL EDITION. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS BONAFIDE TRANS AM EXPERTS THAT HAVE VIEWED MY CAR, SAY TO ME, THEY HAVE NOT SEEN ANY BETTER PAINT OR RESTORATION THAN THE WORK THAT WAS DONE ON MY TRANS AM. IF YOU HAVE A TRANS AM THAT YOU ARE THINKING OF RESTORING, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN WESTCOASTFIREBIRDS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA AND BE SURE TO ASK FOR MIKE JABER. MIKE ALSO BUYS, SELLS, AND TRADES TRANS AMS. WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS MAY BE CONCERNING YOUR TRANS AM, BE SURE TO GIVE MIKE A CALL.
Interior:
THE INTERIOR KIND OF HAS ME SCRATCHING MY HEAD. MY TRANS AM HAS ALMOST ALL THE AVAILABLE OPTIONS, EVEN THOUGH THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF MY CAR SPENT JUST ABOUT ALL THE MONEY A BUYER COULD SPEND ON OPTIONS, BUT OPTED OUT OF ORDERING THE CUSTOM INTERIOR, AND DECIDED ON THE STANDARD INTERIOR. I WAS SERIOUSLY WONDERING IF I AM THE ONLY OWNER IN THE WORLD THAT OWNS A FULLY DOCUMENTED 1978 TRANS AM SPECIAL EDITION, WITH THE WS6 SPECIAL PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING PACKAGE, CC1 T-TOPS, POWER WINDOWS POWER DOOR LOCKS, TILT WHEEL, THE MOST EXPENSIVE PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM THAT WAS AVAILABLE ON THE 1978 TRANS AM, THE OPTIONAL DOME LIGHTING AND LIGHTING GROUP, THE MOST EXPENSIVE DEEP DISH GOLD SNOWFLAKE WHEELS AND RIMS, ALONG WITH THE LARGEST, WIDEST WHITE LETTERED PREMIUM TIRES, THE OVERSIZED SWAY BARS FOR BETTER HANDLING AND CORNERING, WHICH CAME ON THE OPTIONAL WS6 PACKAGE, BUT STILL FOR LESS THAN $100. DID NOT ORDER THE CUSTOM INTERIOR. AGAIN, I REPEAT I HAVE FULL DOCUMENTATION, MY BUILD SHEET AND ALSO MY PHS DOCUMENTATION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU OWN A SIMILAR TRANS AM.
Rims/Tires:
MY WHEELS RIMS AND TIRES WERE ALL PART OF THE OPTIONAL WS6 SPECIAL PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING PACKAGE. THE REGULAR GOLD SNOWFLAKE WHEELS LAYED FLUSH AND WERE PAINTED GOLD ON THE OUTSIDE. IF YOU ORDERED THE TRANS AM SPECIAL EDITION WITH THE OPTIONAL WS6 PACKAGE, YOU RECEIVED THE SPECIAL GOLD SNOWFLAKE WHEELS. THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE, EVEN IF YOU ORDERED YOUR TRANS AM WITH THE SPECIAL EDITION PACKAGE, YOU RECEIVED THE FLUSH MOUNTED GOLD SNOWFLAKES. BUT IF YOU ORDERED THE WS6 PACKAGE, YOU GOT THE SPECIAL 15X8 GOLD SNOWFLAKE, NOT FLUSH BUT WITH A SPECIAL LIP, THAT WAS PAINTED GOLD AS WELL AS THE FULL INSIDE, CENTER AND OUTSIDE ALL FULLY PAINTED GOLD., WHERE THE REGULAR GOLD WHEELS WERE NOT. BECAUSE MY CAR CAME WITH ALL THE IMPORTANT OPTIONS, YOU GOT THE LARGER PREMIUM TIRES. THEY WERE THE P225 / 70R 15
