As I recall,Y88's were the FIRST Trans am offered with an interior colored column and wheel.....in 79,most if not ALL were color keyed to interior color....

Also every single Y88 I've seen came with tan interior, but I've seen basic and deluxe seats.

I was working at a Pontiac dealer during that timeframe, after school and weekends.

"On the Y88 Gold Special Edition cars, the tail lamps were paint black. This was a change made in the 1978 production model year. Prior to this change, the tail lamps were painted the same color of the body, but this changed to black in 1978. (see Bulletin below)"





*Early Y88 build sheet - January 13, 1978

*Late Y88 build sheet - July 20, 1978

* Edit Note: "T93" designated on both "Hitman www.78ta.com" provided Y88 build sheets.
Why does it matter? Many Gold 1978 TA's are listed as "Special Editions" BC they are Solar Gold...and NOT Y88s.
