1978 Pontiac Trans Am

The second-generation Trans Am has become one of the most recognizable American performance cars ever built, and few years capture the spirit of the late 1970s muscle era quite like 1978. Fresh off Pontiac's dominant racing presence and riding a wave of pop culture fame, the Trans Am became the car enthusiasts wanted parked in their driveway. Today, finding one transformed to this level is a rare opportunity. Under the shaker sits a Chevrolet Performance 525-horsepower 6.2L LS3 V8 backed by a 6-speed manual transmission, creating the kind of power-to-weight combination Pontiac engineers could only dream about in 1978.
