Default Anyone own this 78 W72 WS6 4 SPD BLK?



Pic from oh, 1995 or 96. Used to own it. Sold in Estacada (Portland area) Oregon 96 or so.

WS6, W72, 4 speed, AC, PW & more.

Total red non cloth interior, original black non SE car.

Wish I would have kept it, but hope someone is enjoying it. I sold it crazy cheap (smacks self). Just a fun thread hopefully and be awesome if it was a PY car now.

Very Cool picture. I sold my first 78 trans am for 3500ish back in 1988 ish. I have a picture of it too. Pretty sure mine went to the scrap yard. I saw it 2 owners & 5 years later & it was looking really abused.

Good luck in your search. Have you tried posting adds on craigslist in the areas you think it might be? Worth a shot. If it's still around, there are going to be some people familiar with the car I would think. Just got to find those people somehow.

Great picture Anthony! Given the choice back then. That was the car with the style...

Thanks for the share.

I always enjoy looking at everything else in these older photo's The old cars in the road, lawn chairs, coolers, etc. Can't get enough of that. I remember our family having a metal cooler when I was young. Probably could have set an engine on it.

My brother owned a dead ringer for that car;
his was a '77, and it's currently (afaik) in Lethbridge...
Starlight Black (non-SE) on red delux interior W72/4spd.

Before that one I had a same optioned (WS6, W72, 4 Spd, power all) brown on tan cloth 78 that is the one I actually would rather own still even over this one. It had gold graphics. It was stunning I always thought. Last I heard in 84 or so it went to Tennessee and was painted red (!)................
