'76 Trans Am project
 

Look what followed me home last weekend:
455 with original drivetrain, 74k miles. Been in storage for the past 16 years.
Original black on black. 99% rust free, all original sheetmetal.
Missing a few parts here and there, but pretty much complete.
Looking forward to learning about these, wanted one for about 30 years now.

nice more pics. engine interior etc... wheres it from.

Found it in the motor city. Started tearing her down, very early progress pictures:

Should be a good project 68! No rust issues is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, looks real solid. I think that I should have kept my '74.

I remember your 74. It was a good looking car.

Very cool and rust free! Obviously had to follow you from somewhere south or west right?

Actually, east. Motor City.

Wow, trip out! A '76 T/A with standard interior. I knew they made them, but this is the first one I've seen.
I miss my first 76- 455/4 spd White on blue Deluxe and my 2nd 400/auto Black on black deluxe.
That's a GREAT start!!

Nothing like clean floors to start a new project!
One hole about the size of a quarter, plus a little bit of surface rust.

I had a Silver 76 455 4spd about 35 years ago that was a base as it gets. Standard black interior, non-A/C, no hood bird, no console. Another of the many that got away.

Black on black 76 455 car is just an incredible find. Good for you. It will be a stunner. Great equity potential. Pre Bandit-Bandit.

Thanks. Are production numbers posted anywhere for this?

Thought I'd update this. We are about 90% complete now. Working out some gremlins...

Looks really nice! And a pretty quick turn around time.

Nice job. I see that you added the Hurst T-tops. I too did that a year ago to my 1977. It turned out well, and totally transformed the car.

Yes, found an early HH roof section from a '76 SE that someone had tucked away in a garage for 20 years.
They were in pretty nice condition.
Thank God for pack-rats! :)

Just realized I never added any finished pictures:
