3/4 Roller: 1976 Pontiac Trans Am
Has the rise in prices of muscle cars got you bummed out? Many of us feel that we cannot pay the big bucks we see these cars sell for. Maybe you should buy 3/4ths of a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am! This car is located in Newalla, Oklahoma and is listed for sale here on eBay. The starting bid for the auction is $950 but no one has stepped up to buy it yet. The Buy It Now Price is just $300 more at $1,250. There are 4 days left in the listing.
The interior is close to the worst we have seen. It was originally a red deluxe interior that came with upgraded door panels and seats. The seats are still there but the door panels are long gone. The car is listed as flood damaged and can only be sold on a bill of sale according to the seller. The car is a roller which means no engine or transmission. The original suspension is there along with the brakes. The front windshield is cracked and the car has been exposed to the elements for quite some time. This car probably left the factory painted in Code 36 Firethorn Red.
There were two engines available in 1976. The base motor was the L78 400 cubic inch V8 engine that was rated at 180 horsepower. The seller states that this is the engine that came with this car. It was available with a 4 speed or an automatic transmission. This car had an automatic transmission. The optional engine for 1976 was the L75 455 cubic inch V8 engine. It was rated at 200 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque and was only available with a 4 speed transmission in 1976. There were 7,528 Trans Ams built in 1976 with the L75 455 cubic inch V8 engine.
Total production of the Trans Am in 1976 was 46,701. We started this article with a tongue and cheek comment about saving money by buying only 3/4ths of a car. After a look at this one, it might be more expensive to buy and restore it, than to pay for a restored car!

At least it’s easy on gas .
That left front wheel doesn’t look stock. What gives?
neither is the right front as it matches the left, or the rear ones but what’s the difference? They hold air
The longer old cars sit unused, for some reason, they seem to acquire all sorts of different wheels & tires – some whitewalls some not – maybe from other cars in the family whole tires are all worn out but still hold air, or some bargain wheels/tires found at a swap meet – one at a time.
