1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
This matching numbers 1976 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a documented L75 455 four-speed car, frame-off restored and finished in Carousel Red over a white deluxe interior with a black dash. The original factory build sheet is present and confirms the drivetrain, the options, and the original selling dealer, Thompson Pontiac of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. As the last year Pontiac offered the 455 in a Trans Am, and the last year any American manufacturer put a big-inch V8 in a pony car, this car carries real historical significance. Out of 46,701 Trans Ams built for 1976, fewer than 7,600 received the 455, and every one of those cars came with a manual transmission. With its restoration, documentation, rare drivetrain combination, and strong presentation, this Trans Am stands apart as one of the most collectible examples of the era.

The requested photos have been added to the end of the photo gallery. This is a Numbers Matching TA!
We do have pictures of the VIN for both the engine and transmission … they are matching numbers
Can you please post pics of the stampings?
Also, I would like answers to the previously posted questions before I place another bid. Thanks.
Description of this car states it is a L75 455 4 barrel. But, unless I overlooked it within the description, it does not state anywhere that it is a matching numbers correct motor and transmission. This can easily be determined via factory stamped engine number and transmission stamped numbers. These numbers originally are paired with the VIN number of the car if this is the original engine and transmission. So, is this 455 with 4 speed transmission and engine matching number correct with this VIN car, or is it a swap from another VIN car? Also, is this car repainted and is the color factory original to this VIN car? Thanks.
