This 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am pairs unmistakable black-and-gold styling with its original, VIN-matching 455ci V8 and BorgWarner T10 4-speed manual transmission. Previously restored by our own technicians here in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Pontiac received a comprehensive frame-up restoration that included selective soda blasting, replacement fenders, doors and quarter panels, and extensive body preparation. Starlight Black two-stage paint is accented by a large gold Firebird hood graphic, Trans Am lettering, sail-panel graphics and gold outlining around the windows, wheel arches, shaker opening and spoilers. Gold-painted grille recesses and headlight surrounds extend the theme across the nose, while fender air extractors, body-color sport mirrors and a rear spoiler preserve the Trans Am's familiar profile. Gold 15" Pontiac Honeycomb wheels wear BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires measuring 245mm wide up front and 255mm at the rear. Beneath the shaker, the original 455 was professionally rebuilt by Gibbons Motorsports with a replacement Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor and COMP camshaft. The original BorgWarner T10 sends power to a 10-bolt rear axle with 3.23 gears and an Auburn Pro Series limited-slip differential, while dual exhaust incorporates an H-pipe crossover, Pypes mufflers and polished splitter-style outlets. A rebuilt suspension with Hotchkis front coil springs and front and rear sway bars joins factory power steering and power four-wheel disc brakes. Inside, Deluxe Black vinyl covers high-back bucket seats and matching rear seating, complemented by black door panels, gold-embroidered Trans Am floor mats and a center console housing power-window switches and a Hurst T-handle shifter. Gold engine-turned dash trim frames restored factory gauges, including a tachometer with an inset clock, while a Formula steering wheel carries matching gold spokes. Factory air conditioning, power windows, a rear defogger and a RetroSound radio with Bluetooth and SiriusXM add comfort and convenience to a Pontiac that makes a strong case for the enduring appeal of a black-and-gold Trans Am.
