Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Description:
This Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Y88 Special Gold Edition with just 15,000 miles since a complete engine rebuild in 2010. 103k miles on chassis. It is a numbers matching, well documented car with a brand new clutch and transmission rebuild. The Y88 Gold Special Edition Trans Am was a limited run, and was only available for a 3 month span, from November 1977 to February 1978. Only about 1,200 similarly optioned T-top, manual gearbox, gold editions were ever produced, making this a very rare bird.This Y88 package specified a Special Edition gold paint job with Firebird graphics, a higher-output version of the Pontiac 400 engine, and gold styling cues throughout. The Y88 Gold Special Edition was the first introduction of the newly designed 5 color hood bird that became the Firebird standard in 1979.The Anniversary Solar Gold metallic paint has medium-gloss 1970s sheen, and the overall look is very clean with few flaws, visible in the pictures.The brown and gold Firebird hood mural and Trans Am graphics are still bright and sharp. The seller notes a few small chips visible on the front and rear bumper as well as rock chips behind rear wheel wells, but notes no discoloration or fading even up close.The Camel Tan interior is original apart from an aftermarket radio. The fabric seats show light discoloration, no rips or tears, passenger seat is worn, and the carpets are lightly faded, though the overall appearance is quite clean and well-preserved. The dash is in fair shape and all gauges work appropriately. The 6.6L (400ci) Pontiac V8 is the features a shaker scoop and dual exhaust. The factory headers have been replaced with aftermarket piping and stock emission controls were removed. The transmission is a manual four speed with limited-slip differential. The engine bay appears unmolested, and original cowl data stamps remain in place. The master cylinder has been replaced in 2015.The 15Ã7? gold-painted snowflake rims show no visible flaws, and the tires are new as of May 2018.The original space saving spare, and vinyl T-top cases are included.Vehicle was always garage kept, with the utmost care for longetivity. This well-cared-for Trans Am with the one-year-only Y88 package represents one of the last large-displacement Firebirds produced by Pontiac before the debut of the F-body cars in 1982. This car is a proud survivor from a unique era in American automotive history.
