What's odd about this car is that it appears to be a '77 model, except for that 6,000 rpm tachometer, Those didn't start until 1978. My '77 still has the 8,000 rpm tachometer. Perhaps the tach was replaced with a newer model sometime.
Nice car for sure but I have no idea why it has red decals with the blue interior. They do have blue decals that should have came with this car to match the blue interior
I am the second owner of a 77 TA just this one with a white exterior and blue interior. Mine has mostly original paint and all of the original decals in the same color as this one and they are factory installed. Seems odd I know but it's true. I will be getting a repaint on it in the near future and am torn on whether I keep it original or change over to the blue decals I also have a Martinique blue 78 that I bought from the original owner last year. It has most of its original paint and the blue decals on it.
Were there even blue decals in 77? Don't think I've ever seen one. The decals matched the exterior paint and not the interior color in 77 as far as I know so this is correct.
I believe you are correct on the Tail light panels. My white 77 is identical to this one. Has mostly original paint and the panels are white. My Martinique blue 78 has mostly original paint and those panels are black. I suppose all the black cars eould have had black panels though lol.
The Mid 70's Trans Am's continue to climb in value. Compared to the crap you can buy these days for $75000.00. This trans Am is a steal. Love the car. It makes me realize why the styling has completely gone for the vehicles of today. I can't tell a new Camaro from a Mustang or a Charger. They all look identical from the side. The only thing these new so-called sports cars have noticeable is the power and performance. As far as looks go and styling, they don't have it. Nothing like this beauty. Camaros of this age continue to drop in value while Firebirds continue to climb. Here is mine, I bought it new to customize in 1977. th-cam.com/video/lkj4Vf39cIM/w-d-xo.html
Those are the wrong rims on that car, those are from a WS6 car 8 in wide , they didn't have them in 1977 you can tell by the lip. 1978 was the 1st year for them.
Whatever pal that's not original paint oh you wanna type that in English yourself 1977 trans am original paint yeah right and my grandfather was Elvis Presley lol 😂
I completely disagree with previous comment that this car is way over market price..I have a low mile survivor 79 W72...and believe this car is a little underpriced...a low mile nice survivor is a completely different animal from all the butchered restored TA's out there...then add the W72...
I've been looking for the past 1 year or so and you're right. The ones I've look at are nice, but not as new. Lots of add On's that never came from the factory. Ownership of a super low mileage anything as nice as the one offered. Is better off not being used for more than a ride around town. Engine and trans seals are 46 years old. But still a sweet car. I've seen so many CD players, or boom boxes added and just don't get it. Different folks, different strokes, I guess. Glad to hear you haven't monkeyed yours up. If you do let it go. It's Truly worth more than the butchered birds I've seen.
@@JustMe-pc2ii cool job working at Pontiac I believe there was 2 types of t.tops hurst and fisher .... If I'm correct water would get under the rubbers n rust the sides of metal away thus leaky roof
Not true. I am the 2nd owner of a 77 Trans AM identical in exterior and interior color to this one with most of it's original paint and all of the original decals still on it. Mine has just over 70k miles. The decals on this car are correct and they are the same as mine. Mine is a nice driver quality car that runs perfectly but I am going to have it repainted in the near future. I also have a 78 Martinique blue TA that I bought last year from the original owner and it has the blue decals on it that you mentioned. I will also be getting it repainted as it is also mostly original and needs a refresh. I just purchased the blue decals kit from Classic Industries for the 78. Cheers
@@markcheetah4960 Nope, this is the way it was built by Pontiac. The decals matched the paint not the interior, the decals matching the interior came later. In 77, this is correct.
That's a sweet T/A!!!!
corvette camaro and transam of 1977 to 1982 are the super dinamic cars and the most favourite cars of that to till now.
Nice ride....never was a fan of that shade of blue interior.
It has 78 WS6 wheels on it Taillights should be body color and the Splitters look aftermarket. Automatic...
Noticed the wheels also.
Nice! hope the new owner is putting lotsa miles on it.
The nitpicky comments cant be coming from car guys. Sheesh
Stunningly gorgeous car.
Love to take it for a hard fast drive and have some fun.
You and me both!
Hi Al, I see my Nova i sold you in the backround, The 71 Z28 i got from you is still fantastic.
The blue ‘72 Nova SS was yours?, beautiful car. Did you do the work on it? If so awesome job. Is the blue a ‘72 Nova factory color or something else?
@@garySS74 Hi Gary the blue
Nova SS i sold them was a 1970.
75k!!!! Whoa! More like 50-55 tops... sheesh.
Sold full asking
Good deal, cars are original only once and almost none left in condition like this.
What's odd about this car is that it appears to be a '77 model, except for that 6,000 rpm tachometer,
Those didn't start until 1978.
My '77 still has the 8,000 rpm tachometer.
Perhaps the tach was replaced with a newer model sometime.
The decal is wrong on scoop for the type of air cleaner inlet. So was it repainted?
nice museum piece
It sure is 👍
Look like 78 wheels to me. 77 had no beauty ring, snowflake went all the wat to the tire pretty much. So it's a mutt?
wow looks like it just came off the lott and pending sale ugh 70s like that are becoming rare

My 78 had that shade interior..wrong wheels too...I'd have to check everything..including..the oil and diff.
All original, eh?
I thought they didn't start painting the Tail light section black until 1978
I believe you are correct on the Tail light panels. My white 77 is identical to this one. Has mostly original paint and the panels are white. My Martinique blue 78 has mostly original paint and those panels are black. I suppose all the black cars eould have had black panels though lol.
I should also add that the black panels do look good o this car though.

I agree. There was no lip for 1977. These look like 1978 rims.

@@tonysteppan8495 my 79 W72 with 25k mile Atlantis blue survivor is for sale.
That sure is some light window tint lol
All it needs are t-tops and black paint
prices are bricking ev's are in
the way you close the doors was the big problem for those cars close it by the windowinstead of grabbing the door it self
Yeah that used to drive me crazy and everybody that rode in my cars would grab the damn window! 🤬
Nothings been replaced....lol...clearly the water pump was replaced. Small beer I agree but still...
Sold to a happy new owner
A fool and his money are soon departed@@Autosportco
No t-tops! 👍
Better off t.tops are prone to leaking ....standard roofline way better less to go wrong ..... T.tops can be a pain
@@Tiffany.1970
I worked at a Pontiac Dealer when cars like this were on the lot, T Tops were a nuisance 👍
Have a good year!

Couldn't stand the t-tops, hard top is tge way to go.
Not a 403 Oldsmobile engine? A T/A 6.6 TH350 automatic and not a 4 speed...hmm.
A beautiful 😮car with the worst interior color offered..$75k is way over market value, nothing wrong with being optimistic.
I like the interior. But the bird on the hood & the other exterior appointments should have blue accents to match.
