Details

This 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is the recipient of a frame-off rotisserie restoration. It is powered by a matching-numbers factory 455ci V8 engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The 455 (WX code) was rebuilt from top to bottom. The BorgWarner Super 10 transmission was fully rebuilt, along with the rear axle, which houses a new Auburn posi-traction unit and a 3.23 Richmond gear. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes. The subframe and suspension were powder-coated Gunmetal Gray and most nuts and bolts were replaced with stainless Poly Performance bushings throughout, with a new stainless fuel and brake line routed through the chassis. Stopping power comes from 4-wheel power disc brakes. It is finished in a black 2-stage paint over a new interior that features a new scalloped dash, new gauges, power steering and factory air conditioning. This vehicle comes with a complete breakdown of new engine components and machine work that was involved, PHS paperwork, original Bill of Sale, original Build Sheet, tag receipts, bank records, cancelled checks and insurance forms.
