Vehicle Description
Stock Number: 969 - 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 that year. 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 was
sold new at Gryder Motors in Rolla, MO. 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 and includes the rear factory
installed rear console. It has been owned locally here in Lincoln,
NE by one of our best customers for the last 6 years. 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.
