Greetings. Up for auction is a very rare 1977 Y81 W72 4-Speed Trans Am. This is one of only 384 Special Edition Trans Ams that came off the assembly line with the combination of: hardtop (Y81), high performance T/A 6.6 400 cu in Pontiac engine (W72) and 4-speed Borg Warner Super T-10 manual transmission (M21). Only approximately 14 of these rare birds are known to exist today. This vehicle was delivered at Winkel Pontiac Buick GMC in Reno, Nevada. It is PHS documented with only 30,891 DMV certified miles on the odometer. The paint on this car is new and in excellent condition. It is very straight. It has GM licensed Phoenix Graphics and preformed striping. Amazingly, all four wheel spoilers, the chin spoiler, and even the front spoiler to lower front spoiler brackets are original to the car and molded in black plastic as they came from the factory. The floor and trunk pans are solid and original to the car. The drivetrain on this vehicle has remained virtually unmolested all these years. The matching numbers 400 is bone stock with the exception of maintenance items and a high voltage Accel Supercoil. The transmission has correct matching VIN serial number, and shifts tight and smooth like a knife thorough butter. There are no leaks to speak of. The stock 3.23 rear end has been serviced with posi additive and runs quietly. The exhaust still retains its original catalytic converter, single exhaust, and dual tailpipes with dual chrome splitters. Some time in the past the transverse muffler has been upgraded to a Flowmaster in the stock location and configuration. The Flowmaster provides a great throaty exhaust tone while adding performance. With the exception of some under hood detailing, the undercarriage of the vehicle remains untouched. The chassis has the expected patina of a 36 year old car, however there has been no undercoating to hide anything. The interior is original with the exception of new bucket seat upholstery, Clarion tape deck and a steering wheel upgrade. The steering wheel is a stock gold anodized wheel that has been covered in genuine hand stitched leather with 1/8" padding for that fat grip feel. The carpet, headliner, dash, console and door panels are factory original and in excellent condition with the exception of the headliner which had to be re-glued in spots. This car runs and drives excellent, as good or better than off the showroom floor. The air conditioning still blows cold air. There are the usual body squeaks and rattles typical of these unibody cars, but no knocks, ticks or smoke whatsoever. It passes strict California smog tests with very clean emissions, and has no problems passing the evap test, where the fuel delivery system is pressurized and expected to hold pressure. I have found that not many vehicles this old can pass this test. Please direct all questions to the Q&A section below so questions can be answered and posted. This vehicle is sold as is. Thank you for viewing my auction. All offers will be given serious consideration. Good luck and happy bidding. Here is a link to an album with more pictures: http://imgur.com/a/Ue1re
