Vehicle Description
This 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a true collector's
dream-beautifully preserved, properly documented, and tastefully
restored to show-winning condition. Backed by Pontiac Historic
Services (PHS) documentation, a reproduction window sticker, and
its original build sheet, this Trans Am stands as an exceptional
example of one of the most iconic American muscle cars of the
1970s. It remains remarkably faithful to factory specs, highlighted
by its original drivetrain, factory air conditioning, and rare
optional features that make it both a striking cruiser and a
serious collector's piece.
Under the hood resides the original, numbers-matching 6.6L L78 400
cubic inch V8 paired to its original 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic
automatic transmission. Together, they deliver the kind of low-end
torque and cruising power that made these late-second-generation
Trans Ams so legendary. Power is routed to a 10-bolt rear axle with
a factory 2.41 gear ratio, supported by the G80 Safe-T-Track
posi-traction rear for reliable traction and smooth highway
performance. The Rally RTS Handling Package gives this Trans Am
enhanced road control and cornering stability, a hallmark of
Pontiac engineering at the time.
This Firebird retains its factory-correct Starlight Black paint,
professionally refinished in 2012 to show-quality standards.
Accentuated by a Gold Firebird hood decal, gold Honeycomb wheels
wrapped in Cooper Cobra tires, and the bold shaker hood scoop, this
Trans Am delivers on all the visual drama you'd expect from a
late-'70s muscle icon. Additional factory options like sport
mirrors, Soft Ray glass, window sill and rear hood edge moldings,
and a deck lid spoiler all contribute to its aggressive yet refined
styling.
Inside, the car features the Custom Trim Group with factory vinyl
upholstery, rally gauges with a working clock and I/P tachometer,
and even a GM-branded CB radio-capturing the culture of the era in
every detail. Comfort is improved by cold-blowing factory air
conditioning (a $478.00 option in 1977), power steering, and power
front disc brakes. A rare Hurst Dual Gate shifter adds a touch of
performance flair to the driving experience, giving the driver
control over shifting while maintaining the convenience of an
automatic transmission. The AM/FM stereo system, factory seat
belts, lamp group, and gold interior accents complete a highly
original, well-optioned package.
This Trans Am has been more than just preserved; it has been
celebrated. It is a multi-show award winner with class wins at
prestigious events like the Ames Pontiac Nationals and the Carlisle
All GM Nationals. Further cementing its credibility and
desirability, this exact car was featured in the April 2013 issue
of Muscle Car Review magazine, a respected publication among muscle
car enthusiasts and collectors. It also includes a copy of its
original 1977 title and was delivered new to W.A. Golden Inc. in
Reading, Pennsylvania.
With its documented provenance, outstanding restoration, and
head-turning presentation, this 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is
far more than a nostalgic piece-it's a standout example of
Pontiac's high-performance legacy at its peak. Whether you're a
seasoned collector or a first-time muscle car buyer, this Trans Am
offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of American performance
history, ready to show or drive with pride.
