Restored Firebird Trans Am 455 V8 4-speed Air Conditioning ///

Originally sold new at Central Pontiac Inc. in Seattle, Washington, this 1976 Trans Am spent most of its life in California and is the recipient of a recent restoration. It is one of just 7,528 cars built with a 4-speed manual transmission.

This Trans Am also features an L75 455 4-barrel V-8 producing 200 HP, as well as a Borg-Warner T-10 close-ratio 4-speed, power steering, power front disc brakes, power windows, Formula steering wheel, tachometer, remote driver-side mirror, upgraded Audiovox AM-FM stereo cassette, 3.23:1 Safe-T-Track differential, gold-tone Honeycomb wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires, dual exhaust outlets, and gold striping accenting the fresh Starlight Black paint. Standard Trans Am content includes the shaker hood, front and rear spoilers, front fender tractors, rear wheel foils, rear spoiler, as well as the optional hood bird decal and gold-tone engine-turned dash.

The 1976 model year featured a new urethane bumper design that replaced the black rubber design used the previous two years in the front and rear. It also proved to be the final year for round headlamps and the 455 V-8, as well as Honeycomb wheels. With a 7.6:1 compression ratio and a Rochester QuadraJet 4-barrel carburetor, the 455 was rated in its final year at 200 HP at 3,500 RPM, with 330 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,000.

Documentation for this 1976 Trans Am includes the California title and license plates, PHS documentation, build sheet and some receipts from the rebuild.
