This vehicle comes with smog certificate date and a clean and clear California title
Here is a little history about these cars:
"Engineer Herb Adams was responsible for the Trans Am's excellent handling characteristics. After he left Pontiac Motor Division in the early 1970's he remained a consultant for the division. Pontiac asked him to develop and produce eight 1977 Trans Ams that could be raced on track while keeping their street characteristics. Those eight cars made the rounds with the media and were an immediate hit. Pontiac ended up incorporating some of Herb's modifications into what would become the 1978 WS6 suspension. With the success of those eight cars Herb now found himself in the aftermarket accessory business. To prove a point, Herb Adams entered this 1979 "Fire-Am" model in the 1979 24 Hrs Of Daytona. There was no class for street-legal cars, but Herb entered anyway. He actually DROVE his 1979 Trans Am all the way from Holly, MI down to Daytona, FL. He found himself 65th on the grid in a field that included 14 Turbo Porsches. After 18 grueling hours, this street-legal 1979 Trans Am, with license plates, was running 19th overall when at 155 mph the harmonic balancer broke. At the time his street driven, street legal 1979 Trans Am dropped out, he held the highest position (19th overall) over all other U.S.-made cars on the track (photo courtesy of "The Fabulous Firebird"). - MCN"
