Vehicle Description
The 1976 Pontiac Trans Am is one of those perfect year cars. A very
well integrated design met with the still beating heart of an
American muscle legend. So you know it's something special when you
can find an all-black example with four-on-the-floor, low mileage,
and a ton of great survivor-grade features - including the 400ci
V8.
Starlight Black is this car's factory color, and if that wasn't
already desirable enough, most of it is believed to be factory
original. It retains an exceptional gloss and shine, which is what
you get on a car that has average under 1,050 miles annually. A
nice rich black is great on the '76 coupe, because it's the first
year to fully integrate the color-matched urethane bumpers front
and rear. The hood did receive a quality respray and a fresh
screaming bird decal, because after all, that is a hallmark of
these and you want it look great. The golden hood bird goes great
with all the other hallmark gold striping that follows all the main
lines of the car, including around the fender flares, windows, and
accents the full-width rear spoiler. But arguably, the best golden
shine comes from the iconic snowflake-style wheels.
The stellar survivor presentation continues inside. We're told this
is the full original setup, and it remains vintage and
exceptionally clean. High-back bucket seats and a center console
give you a great driver's feeling. Full instrumentation was
standard on Trans Ams, including the handy large tach. The dials
look great set in the iconic and aggressive machine-turned
instrument panel. Ahead of that the driver gets the three-spoke
sports steering wheel that's another icon of these T/As. You get
some nice features like the Delco AM/FM radio and the factory air
conditioning is upgraded to R134a refrigerant (will need a
recharge.) But the piece you'll love the most is that Hurst shifter
- it's your direct gateway to what's in the engine bay.
Beneath the cool hood shaker lies the numbers-matching 400
cubic-inch V8. No one will have no trouble believing you when you
tell them about its originality. It retains a very stock appearance
in everything from the corporate blue engine enamel on the block,
to the air cleaner that still correctly inhales through the front.
This has newer fundament components, like the plug wires, hoses,
and belts. It's part of a strong running package that gets to
inhale deeply from the four-barrel carburetor. You're able to take
complete control of the motor thanks to the four-speed manual
transmission. And you'll love the howl from the Flowmaster exhaust
when you get up into the higher rev ranges. Plus, with power
steering, power brakes with front discs, and sway bars front &
rear, and it will be tough to resist adding to the low mileage
odometer.
The sale come complete with the owner's manual packet and original
warranty card. This Trans Am was not only born with the ideal look,
but it' a rare survivor, too. That makes for a V8 icon with a story
to tell. Call today!!!
