Survivor Alert - 50K miles | # Matching "XA" 400 V8 | WS4 RPO | Brentwood Brown Poly | Buckskin Bucket Seat Interior | Power Steering | Power Disc Brakes | PHS Report |
LaFontaine Classic Cars is proud to present this exceptionally well-preserved 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a highly original example of one of America's most recognizable muscle cars. Finished in its factory-correct Brentwood Brown Poly exterior over a Buckskin (Saddle) bucket seat interior this Trans Am is documented with a PHS Report and carries the desirable WS4 RPO code.
Power comes from its original 400ci Pontiac V8 paired with a TH400 automatic transmission and Positraction rear differential. Equipped with power steering and power front disc brakes this Trans Am delivers the unmistakable driving experience that made these second-generation F-bodies legendary.
What truly separates this example is its remarkable history and preservation. The car comes from more than 33 years of previous ownership with an especially compelling connection to its original owner. The longtime owner's friend purchased the car new from Orson Coe Pontiac in Grand Rapids Michigan and the vehicle was subsequently cared for and preserved throughout its life. The 50049 miles are represented as accurate by the previous owner and remarkably the car has never been repainted.
The Brentwood Brown Poly finish remains original allowing the next owner to appreciate the car exactly as it has survived for nearly five decades. As should be expected from an unrestored vehicle of this age there are a few paint chips and some checking in the iconic "screaming chicken" graphics but these imperfections are an honest part of the car's originality rather than something hidden beneath a restoration.
The undercarriage tells an equally compelling story. The vehicle was properly undercoated when new helping preserve the chassis and structure over the years. In areas where portions of the undercoating have been removed the factory red oxide primer remains visible underneath. Even the original exhaust system remains in place. The muffler does have some holes but rather than automatically replacing the entire system and discarding an original component we have left that decision to the next owner as we've changed these out in the past and had people request the original.
Inside the Buckskin interior presents exceptionally well and has been carefully preserved. The gauges are functioning as are the vehicle's safety and convenience features including the lights horn and turn signals. Even the factory radio remains operational and plays as expected.
In preparation for its next chapter the Trans Am has received thoughtful servicing and maintenance. The shocks fluids gaskets hoses belts master cylinder brake fluid engine oil and filter have all been addressed to help ensure this Pontiac is ready to be enjoyed with confidence!
This is not an over-restored Trans Am attempting to recreate the past. It is an honest highly original carefully maintained survivor with documented equipment long-term ownership history original paint its original drivetrain and the kind of preservation that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
