Vehicle Description
This 1976 Pontiac Trans Am is a superb survivor with outstanding
options and original sales paperwork! Pontiac introduced it's Trans
Am on March 8, 1969 as a high-performance option package for its
pony car, the Firebird. By the mid-70s the federal government had
essentially halted true American muscle car production with the
introduction of pollution control regulations. Nonetheless, Pontiac
continued to produce the Trans Am as the performance-oriented
package for the Firebird. The next major T/A milestone occurred in
1973 when the iconic "Screaming Chicken" graphic made its debut on
the Trans Am, originating from legendary Indian symbol that was
modernized by stylist John Schinella. 1976 was a milestone year for
Pontiac with the GM marque celebrating its Golden 50th Anniversary.
In anticipation of its Golden Anniversary celebration, Pontiac
debuted its Firebird line on September 25, 1975, and the line was
comprised of 4 models, the base model, Esprit, Formula, and, at the
top of the Firebird hierarchy, the Trans Am. The '76 Trans Am was
modestly updated from the previous year featuring new body colored
urethane bumpers and a new sloping front end look comprised of a
twin-section grille with mesh pattern inserts. The Trans Am also
came with a rear deck spoiler, shaker hood, and a few other
goodies. This particular 1976 Trans Am comes to us from an east
coast collector who owned the car for the past 14 years. This Trans
Am is powered by a Numbers Matching L-75 455 Cubic Inch V8 engine
paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor that was said to have push
out 200 horsepower. The Numbers Matching 455 V8 is mated to a 4
speed manual transmission that makes this Firebird and absolute
blast to drive! This '76 Trans Am is loaded with options! With
power front disc brakes, this T/A has plenty of stopping power
especially with all of that muscle under the hood. Driving this
1976 Pontiac is much more enjoyable with power steering and it
makes getting in and out of those tight spaces at car shows much
easier. Equipped with Air Conditioning, you'll stay cool while
cruising even on the hottest summer days. Riding on raised letter
225/70R15 radial tires on Rally II rims in all 4 corners, this
Trans Am has a great look and even better ride. Finished correctly
in Starlight Black paint with a gold and black "Screaming Chicken"
decal on the hood, this 76 Trans Am has excellent curb appeal. The
interior on this Pontiac looks fantastic! The front bucket seats
and rear bench seat are upholstered in White Vinyl and are in very
nice shape. The dash, door panels, carpet and steering wheel are
all in nice shape as well and appear to be in their stock
configuration. The dash is equipped with a 100 MPH speedometer,
8,000 RPM tachometer, clock, oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge,
volt gauge, and fuel gauge, as well as an AM/FM radio with 8-Track
player. Whether you're buying your very first classic car or you're
an established Pontiac collector, this 1976 Pontiac Trans Am would
make an excellent choice. Give us a call today!
