The 1976
Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Trans Am
Lot#1
![]() |
This beautiful 50th
Anniversary Trans Am belongs to Gary Vass. It sports the optional 455 and 4-speed
tranny.
Only 319 Limited Edition TAs were produced with this combination. According to Gary the
car is well optioned with every power option available and the rare rear console. The car
has only logged 60,000 miles and is completely original. Gary is quite the Pontiac fanatic and collector with a collection totaling 12 cars. His expansive collection includes: a '79 10th Anniversary Trans Am (see the Anniversary Trans Ams Lot#1), an '80 Trans Am Pace Car, an '81 Nascar Edition Pace Car with only 4,000 miles (seen at the '80 Nascar Edition Pace Car Trans Am Lot#1), an '83 MR MSE Trans Am #39 with only 4,500 miles (seen at the Macho & MSE Trans Ams Lot#2), an '83 Daytona Pace Car, an '84 15th Anniversary Trans Am, an '87 Trans Camino (wildly customized into a Truck!!!) (seen the '87 Firebirds Lot#1), an '89 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am with only 500 miles, a '92 yellow/black Trans Am convertible, a '94 25th Anniversary with Daytona decals, and a '96 Formula convertible (see the '96 Firebirds Lot#2). Whew thats a heck of a lot of garage space. |

The 50th Anniversary Trans Am was outfitted with a completely unique decal set. First was the 50th Anniversary badge (seen here), a mile of gold pin striping applied liberally, and finally all the Trans Am lettering was a unique design. This special Trans Am also received gold bird stickers on the sail panel rather than the standard metal bird emblem. The honeycomb wheels you see here were a $103 option and the gold colored sets were only available on these cars. This picture also appears on the car of the book entitled, "Firebird: America's Premier Ponycar!". |

David Ochser owns both of these fantastic Special Edition TAs. David writes: "Hello, here are some pics of my 1976 50th anniversary. It is all original with 1 455 4 speed number matching with the rare anodized black splitter exhaust as well as special order saddle interior and am/fm 8 track player and very rare rear console. It has 10,500 miles on the car and it is in pristine condition. Enjoy the pics. I will send you one of my '81 and '76 together. The first black and gold and last black and gold together."
