1976 Trans AM SE Special Edition - Y82, Only 21k Miles, 400 Automatic, Restored
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.
