LaFontaine Classic Cars is proud to present this exceptionally
well-preserved 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, a highly original example of
one of America's most recognizable muscle cars. Finished in its
factory-correct Brentwood Brown Poly exterior over a Buckskin
(Saddle) bucket seat interior, this Trans Am is documented with a
PHS Report and carries the desirable WS4 RPO code.
Power comes from its original 400ci Pontiac V8, paired with a TH400
automatic transmission and Positraction rear differential. Equipped
with power steering and power front disc brakes, this Trans Am
delivers the unmistakable driving experience that made these
second-generation F-bodies legendary.
What truly separates this example is its remarkable history and
preservation. The car comes from more than 33 years of previous
ownership, with an especially compelling connection to its original
owner. The longtime owner's friend purchased the car new from Orson
Coe Pontiac in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and the vehicle was
subsequently cared for and preserved throughout its life. The
50,049 miles are represented as accurate by the previous owner, and
remarkably, the car has never been repainted.
The Brentwood Brown Poly finish remains original, allowing the next
owner to appreciate the car exactly as it has survived for nearly
five decades. As should be expected from an unrestored vehicle of
this age, there are a few paint chips and some checking in the
iconic ""screaming chicken"" graphics but these imperfections are
an honest part of the car's originality rather than something
hidden beneath a restoration.
The undercarriage tells an equally compelling story. The vehicle
was properly undercoated when new, helping preserve the chassis and
structure over the years. In areas where portions of the
undercoating have been removed, the factory red oxide primer
remains visible underneath. Even the original exhaust system
remains in place. The muffler does have some holes, but rather than
automatically replacing the entire system and discarding an
original component, we have left that decision to the next owner as
we've changed these out in the past and had people request the
original.
Inside, the Buckskin interior presents exceptionally well and has
been carefully preserved. The gauges are functioning, as are the
vehicle's safety and convenience features, including the lights,
horn, and turn signals. Even the factory radio remains operational
and plays as expected.
In preparation for its next chapter, the Trans Am has received
thoughtful servicing and maintenance. The shocks, fluids, gaskets,
hoses, belts, master cylinder, brake fluid, engine oil, and filter
have all been addressed to help ensure this Pontiac is ready to be
enjoyed with confidence!
This is not an over-restored Trans Am attempting to recreate the
past. It is an honest, highly original, carefully maintained
survivor with documented equipment, long-term ownership history,
original paint, its original drivetrain, and the kind of
preservation that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
