This is a highly original, matching-numbers 1976 Pontiac Firebird

　　Trans Am Special Edition 50th Anniversary Edition with under 15,639

　　miles (title reads exempt). The 50th Anniversary Edition was the

　　first of the Special Edition cars, with a limited production of

　　just 2,590 vehicles. It included a cosmetic package created by GM

　　design boss Bill Mitchell to celebrate 50 years of Pontiac vehicle

　　production and was priced at $435 under sales code Y82, which

　　included a Starlight Black paint job with special gold honeycomb

　　wheels, gold interior appointments, special gold exterior

　　appointments, special gold stripes and emblems, and the hood decal.

　　This would be the first appearance of the now legendary black and

　　gold theme, later made famous by Burt Reynolds and the "Smokey and

　　the Bandit" movies and marked the last appearance of the 15-inch

　　honeycomb wheels. Power comes from its matching-numbers 400ci V8

　　engine with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor rated for 185hp and 310

　　ft/lbs of torque, which is paired with the original

　　matching-numbers Turbo Hyrdramatic 3-speed automatic transmission.

　　Also found in the engine bay is the optioned $452 custom air

　　conditioning, which was more expensive than the Special Edition

　　Package. The exterior retains its original Starlight Black paint

　　with Special Edition gold grille liners, headlamp bezels, firebird

　　emblems, gold stripes and 15-inch gold honeycomb wheels. The wheels

　　are wrapped in BFGoodrich radial T/A tires dated 2623. This Trans

　　Am features its original red oxide factory coating and is equipped

　　with radial-tuned suspension. The interior is finished in black

　　with its original vinyl seats featuring single buckle seats and

　　shoulder belts, nylon cut pile carpeting, a formula steering wheel

　　and Rally gauges with a clock and tachometer. The Special Edition

　　Package features an anodized gold engine-turned instrument panel

　　and shift bezel, a gold Firebird emblem in the steering wheel, gold

　　spokes on the formula steering wheel, gold Firebird on the shift

　　knob and gold Firebird door emblems. Additional features include

　　the optioned front seat console, Soft Ray glass for all windows,

　　stereo 8-tape player and AM/FM radio. The sale includes an owner's

　　manual, Pontiac Historic Services paperwork, a 1977 accessories

　　catalog printed in 1976, a reproduction Window Sticker, 8-track

　　tapes and various ownership paperwork.
