Vehicle Description
A one-owner 1976 Pontiac Trans Am already is enticing. But when you
find out that he also took the time to give this red devil a big V8
and a heavy duty transmission, well then, you know you've met the
best balance of history and performance - all for a terrific
price.
Firethorn Red is the name of that paint you can't take your eyes
off of. It's the factory color, and in '76 you wanted something
this bold. After all, it was the first year for the fully
integrated urethane bumpers that give this Pontiac a uniform
appearance of a more modern sports car. Plus, you get the right
performance touches like the factory body kit and the bold gold
Trans Am script. There's even the shaker hood, fender vents, and
full-length rear spoiler. But beyond getting all the iconic
components right, this is fundamentally a very nice coupe -
including straight body panels and doors that can be closed with
confidence. It even has the correct Rally II wheels to make this
factory-correct Trans Am package complete.
The tan interior looks great against the fiery red exterior, and
the highly original presentation reminds you why it's great to buy
a one-owner machine that's averaged less than 1,900 miles annually.
There are even still provisions for factory air conditioning. Full
instrumentation was standard on Trans Ams, including the tach/clock
combination. The dials look great set in the aggressive
machine-turned instrument panel. Ahead of that the driver gets the
unique three-spoke sports steering wheel that's iconic on these
T/As. As your right hand grabs the Hurst dual gate shifter, it's an
instant reminder of the upgrades under the hood.
On a fiery red T/A, you know you want the top dog motor. That's why
it made sense to Pontiac to have the beastly 455ci V8 shoe-horned
in the engine bay. This is a '71 block from the true muscle car
era, and it was rebuilt less than 10k miles ago. It was also
fortified with bored .030 over forged pistons, Comp Cams hydraulic
roller cam, Edelbrock intake, and a four-barrel carburetor. And to
take full advantage of this powerful package and the Hurst dual
gate shifter, the transmission was upgraded to the heavy duty TH475
three-speed automatic. Add in power steering, front disc brakes,
and upgraded sway bars front & rear, and this is a terrific anytime
muscle machine.
Complete with build receipts and the owner's manual, this is the
cool classic that has been enhanced for driving and will always
have a story to tell. So at this price, you know you have to hurry
if you want to make it yours. Call now!
