I have been in this hobby 35 years and I only know what I read, which states no 455 in 77. I have heard the factory did some off the wall stuff, so I never say never. who knows. It would be curious to hear from some dealers from that era. What makes this convincing to me , is he has an impeccable memory, and even when he saw the car, he knew it wasn.t available with that motor in 77. He told me that even back then that he knew it was something that shouldn't exist when it was shown to him as, "hey you really want to see something special, look at this" in the back room of the dealership. At the time he was great friends with the dealers owners son who showed him the car. Cool story even better if it can be confirmed.

He said the whole thing started bc he was considering trading in his 70 gto 455 for a 76 ta w the 455 in it, and it progressed from there. He said that 77 wasnt for sale when he saw it. It was purchased to be put away.
