Now available for purchase in our Houston showroom is this 1977
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special Edition (PHS documents available,
showing Y82 on the Monroney). This Starlight Black beauty is only
on its 2nd owner, and has only traveled 73,361 actual miles in its
life. According to horsepowermemories.com, "...the 1977 Trans Am
Special Edition was the most popular of all the special editions
because of the movie Smokey and the Bandit. Burt Reynolds' name may
have been on the marquis, but the Trans Am Special Edition was the
star of the show. Let's turn back the clock 40 years and see why
the 1977 Firebird Trans Am Special Edition is one of the most
sought after muscle cars from the 1970s. The 1977 Firebird Trans Am
Special Edition is easily identified by its Starlight Black paint,
gold striping, gold grille inserts, and gold accented snowflake
wheels. Other standard equipment includes a rear decklid spoiler,
dual chrome splitter exhaust extensions, and front air dam. The
interior features a gold engine-turned instrument bezel,
gold-accented steering wheel, and red Firebird emblems. Pontiac
offered three engines in the 1977 Trans Am Special Edition. First
up was the L80 Oldsmobile 403 V8. This engine was primarily used in
California and other high altitude locations. It was rated at 185
horsepower and 320 foot-pounds of torque. Second was the L78
Pontiac 400 V8 with 180 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque.
Even after 40 years, the 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special
Edition is still one of the most recognized Pontiacs ever built. It
brings back memories to a time when disco, drive-ins, and CB radios
were still staples in American culture. Few cars can match the
popularity this car possessed back in the late 1970s. Pontiac may
no longer be around today but our memories of the brand and the
Trans Am will live on forever." This '77 T/A originally came with
Deluxe Vinyl Seating, but it original owner changed the vinyl to
black velour cloth seating surfaces; but virtually the entire rest
of the car is the way it came from GM. Cold A/C keeps the occupants
comfortable, and its aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio keeps the tunes
coming while you're cruising down the twisty back roads that you'll
want to take this baby on. The original 400 CID V8 is mated to its
original transmission, and provides plenty of oomph when you get on
the loud pedal. Also equipped with its original Aluminum
"snowflake" wheels, Cruise Control, Power Brakes, Power Locks,
Power Steering, Power Windows, Raised White Letter Radial Tires,
and Tilt Wheel, this car has plenty of options. Come grab a piece
of history, and be your own Bandit! For more information on this
