1976 Pontiac Trans Am 51085 Miles Starlight Black Coupe 455 Manual

1976 Pontiac Trans Am -- Additional Info:

Stock Number: 779 By 1976, all of the Big Displacement engines had disappeared from the option list of the Big Detroit manufacturers with the exception of Pontiac. Somehow they managed to put another notch in Pontiac History with an honest to goodness true 455ci V8. For the small investment of $125 dollars, you would receive a 455ci Torque Monster, a Borg Warner 4spd manual close ratio gear box, a performance rear axle ratio, specifically tuned exhaust system and distinctive 455... designations on both sides of the shaker hood scoop. Only slightly over 15% of the lucky buyers checked the L75 option code and made their Trans AM an instant collectible. Little did they know that this would be the last year of production for this legendary Engine. Think about those words. "Last Year for a Large 455ci engine in a Pontiac Performance Car!" That makes this a Must Have in any well rounded collection. There are a low 51,085 miles this TA. It was ordered with a nod to performance and options were kept to a minimum. A Center Console, AMFM Stereo, as well as the Hood Bird were the only real luxuries added to the invoice. This resulted in a Trans AM priced a just a little over $6,000. This Trans AM moves and runs like a top. We have rebuilt the Transmission, replacing all worn parts and reassembled to spec. It shifts smoothly and accurately through the gears. It is a real pleasure to drive. The paint and decals are all New with a Show Quality Finish applied by RAMC, This Trans AM looks and drives amazing. A few of the knowledgeable owners knew that with minor modifications, you could really wake up these engines. All you had to do was replace the heads with a set containing larger valves and smaller combustion chambers, a performance cam and tune the car to take advantage of those upgrades. This TA has had those upgrades done to it and feels more like an early 70's TA than a 1976.
