1976 Trans Am
|
1976 would be the last year of the 455 Engine, and the first year of available T-Tops. All Firebirds received new more angular bumpers which improved their appearance, and Pontiac introduced the very popular Black-and-Gold Special Edition Trans Am which quickly became one of the most famous Trans Am's of all time. This would be the first year that over 100,000 Firebirds were sold. 1976 was the 50th anniversary for Pontiac Motor Division, and to commemorate the occasion, Pontiac released a special Anniversary Edition Trans Am. Powered by either a 400- or 455 cu. in. V8, the largest Engine in its class, the '76 Trans Am was considered by the buff books to be the best handling car on the road. It was also one of the sharpest looking. The upscale exterior boasted gold graphics on black paint. First and foremost was the huge in-your-face Firebird (often referred to as the "screaming chicken") on the hood. Special 50th Anniversary decals graced the fenders, while gold pinstripes and gold honeycomb wheels really made the car a visual knockout. This Trans Am was also the first to feature the Hurst T-top removable roof panels. Inside, the unique gold-on-black theme was carried though to the interior, and included a gold tone instrument panel and steering wheel spokes. The gold bird was also emblazoned on the black horn button and shifter knob. 859 such models were produced (643 TAs were produced with the T-tops.) Production: Trans Am: 46,701
