Vehicle Description

Amazingly restored Numbers Matching 1976 Trans Am 455 Big Block 4 Speed!This is a great example of a very rare and desirable investment grade classic "show" car. Less than 8000 Trans Ams with the 455 were built in their last year of production and if you have ever driven one you know the handling characteristics are the envy of the market.If you are in the market for an early Trans am that stands head and shoulders above the rest you’d be hard pressed to find a better example than this one and it’s a 4 speed to boot!This is a nicely optioned example restored back faithfully to its original "as sold new" condition. It is also nicely appointed with 455 engine, 4 speed manual transmission, power steering, power disc brakes, AC and AM/FM stereo with 8 track. It has just had a complete and thorough restoration of the entire body and frame inside and out.This car came out of central Texas so there was very little rust to contend with. The trunk floor was replaced due to a leak at rear window. Both front and rear windshield glasses were removed, channels were cleaned out, primed and painted. Front windshield is new. We cleaned and regreased the door glass regulators so they roll up and down real nice. The rear end and leaf springs were removed, blasted, primed and painted. The underside of car was cleaned, sprayed in 2 coats of black epoxy primer and then undercoated.Engine is the original, born with 455 with vin stamp and is still standard bore. Engine was rebuilt prior to my ownership but never ran. I tore down the engine, inspected the bearings and then resealed everything, including new head gaskets. One drive and you will see why this combination was so popular!The original Borg Warner Super T-10 trans was completely gone thru and including a new mainshaft. Also has its original carb.Interior has been refreshed. Carpet, drivers seat cover, headliner, door panels, etc. All dash bezels are new and dash frame was repainted. AC system is all new but still needs charged. Original Hurst shifter with HURST ball was rechromed. I do have the original Pontiac ball that goes with the car.The subframe was removed, blasted and powder coated. All suspension bushings were replaced. New shocks all around. Complete new brake, exhaust and fuel system.The original shaker scoop was opened up and the door flapper installed so it actually functions as intended.Cars like this don't come up very often anymore. Don’t let this be the car you wish you had bought when you had the chance! Call 30//592//23//432
