The 1976 Trans AM was the first year to offer a Special Edition
model. This model proudly wore the Pontiac 50th Anniversary Decal
and was the first year for one of Pontiac's most successful
Firebird options, the Special Edition. There were only 2,590 Y82
Special Edition Trans AM's built in 1976. Many would be surprised
to know that the majority of them were NON-T-Top cars. This was a
new option and had not quite caught on yet. This TA is one of the
1,628 SE cars that were powered by the Pontiac 400. It was
considered one of the only choices for anyone wanting a true
performance car in 1976. Car and Driver designated the Trans AM the
Best Handling car in their performance car shoot-out. It bested the
Corvette in Stopping Power by a very significant 20 feet. That was
impressive. There were 46,704 Trans AM's built. This cars
configuration represents less than 4% of that production.
This specific car is a low original mile car that was chosen to be
restored. Even though it had low miles, being decades old, it just
was not showing its best and was ready to be freshened up. It is an
original metal car that required very little prep-work to get ready
for paint. That is the beauty of choosing a low mile car to
restore. Interior needed very little to look like new. Detailed
throughout, it is a great example of the first year Special
Edition. With 22 factory options, it is a high end collectible that
will be an excellent addition to any collection.
