Assembled at GM's famous Norwood manufacturing facility in April of 1977. this pristine black and gold Trans Am. one of only 2. 99 Y82 Special Editions. hopped a truck right up Interstate 71 to Haydocy Pontiac in Columbus. Ohio to begin 35 years of immaculate maintenance and impeccable care. Today. after a highly detailed frame-off restoration. it presents as practically brand new and displays a spectacular coat of GM code 19 Starlight Black on top of smooth and solid body panels. And naturally. those straight black panels are adorned with Special Edition-exclusive full outlining stripes and an awesome Special Edition-exclusive gold and matte gold trimmed 'screaming chicken' hood decal.

Despite minimal brightwork. Special Edition Trans Ams were highly decorated cars that brought new meaning to the word 'details'. Up front. a straight and glossy urethane front bumper houses Special Edition-specific gold headlight inserts which center on a traditional red Pontiac arrow head emblem to provide the brands familiar dual grille. quad headlight look. Behind that bumper. the car's great looking "T/A-6. 6" branded shaker hood sits in front of pristine Soft Ray tinted glass which is bordered by correct option B77 black molding. At the center of the car. Y82 Special Edition-exclusive tinted Hurst T-tops sit above black inlayed door handles and Special Edition-exclusive gold B-pillar decals. And at the sides of the car. Special Edition-exclusive German style "Trans Am" decals hang between traditional Pontiac fender vents and correct rear fender flares. At the back of the car. correct option B89 backlight molding frames an electrically defrosted rear window above a correct black valence that's complete with showroom fresh. silver trimmed tail lights. And a large German style "Trans Am" decal is centered above correct stainless side-splitter exhaust tips.

Pop the black and gold hood and you'll find this Pontiac's all-original 6. 6 liter W72 V8 which wears a correct 500557 casting number. a correct 191886 partial VIN and a correct W72-exclusive "WA" engine stamp. Thanks to government mandated emissions standards. performance was almost legislated out of existence; and that left the Trans Am suffering a bit of an identity crisis. At 400 cubic inches. the Pontiac 6. 6 litre was already the largest engine you could buy in 1977; and by utilizing smaller "6X" heads and a revised camshaft. it created bigger compression and successfully reversed almost a decade of declining horsepower numbers. At the top of the motor. a correct Rochester 4-barrel carburetor is supplied air through a tube which runs from the car's driver's side inner fender to its awesome shaker scoop. Below that carburetor. original GM corporate blue paint coats the entire block; and original exhaust manifolds send spent gases into a high performance factory exhaust system. All the hard parts around the motor. from the belt driven accessories to the brake booster and optional air conditioning hanging on the fire wall are factory correct. And as expected tags. markings and stamps are just where they should be from the date coded core support to the car's freshly cleaned cowl tag.

At the bottom of this super slick F-Body. solid floorpans tell the story of years of excellent maintenance. and a fresh rebuilt suspension tells the story of an excellent restoration. Behind the motor. an original Borg Warner T10 4-speed transmission. which wears a correct 1304065903 casting number and a correct 27N191866 partial VIN. sends power to an original 10 bolt rear end which has been restored to factory specifications. Below that stellar powertrain. a rebuilt Trans Am suspension. which includes power steering. thicker sway bars. better shocks and stiffer springs combines with standard issue power front disc brakes and rear drums to provide quick stops and great handling. At the center of the car. a power boosting mandrel bent true dual exhaust system barks out a deep. vintage sound from modern two chamber Flowmaster mufflers. At the corners of the car. restored aluminum Pontiac snow flake wheels spin Special Edition exclusive gold paint around 'red bird' center caps and correct GR70-15 Goodyear Steelgard white letter tires. And all of the car's hardware and bushings appear to be in good shape from its solid and leak-free stainless fuel tank to its correctly installed emergency brake cable.

Open this tin indian's massive black doors and you'll find a fully restored optional velour interior that wraps Special Edition-exclusive gold trim in a whole lot of old school style! The car's rebuilt seats are firm. crisp and look every bit as nice and rich as their velour name implies. Below those seats. like-new black carpet. which is carefully protected by factory replacement floor mats. displays no fading or unraveling; and between the seats. a silver trimmed console props buttons for the car's power windows behind a chrome Hurst shifter. At the top of the car. a stain-free headliner is stretched tight around the aforementioned Hurst T-tops. And at the sides of the car. pitch black door panels hang pristine pull straps and new chrome door handles below Special Edition-exclusive gold badging. In front of the driver. a gold. engine-turned dash houses crystal clear gauges. controls for heat and air conditioning. and the car's original Delco-GM AM/FM stereo behind a correct gold Formula steering wheel and optional tilt steering column. And behind the cockpit. a fully restored trunk. which is labeled with correct decals. carries a correct courtesy lamp above storage bags for the Hurst t-tops and a correct Space Saver spare tire.

The sale of this pristine pony car includes a stack of Pontiac Historical Services paperwork that highlights the original window sticker outlined above.

NOW is the time to buy a correct. low mileage. investment grade Trans Am to show and enjoy for years to come. And here's a guarantee: if you don't. someone else will and you will be chasing a value curve heading straight upwards for the next 20 years. This is the kind of car that you can take to the show on Saturday and drive to work on a sunny Monday morning. If you're in the market for a killer Trans Am that is the quintessential late 70s American muscle car; here it is. Grab it fast and thank us in ten years as you watch its value climb!
