1976 Trans AM (298) Special Edition- Ground UP Restoration is Done !

[@buzztp5119]

Love the 76 front design my bother had a 76 40 years ago. When I turned 16 in 1984 I took my drivers test in his 76 and the State Patrol officer said it was the first Trans Am test drive he had ever done.

Yea me to. I had to cut and fiberglass it back together many times, to make it fit right,, .. its all part of the game.

Car is a beauty! My 76 has been with longer than my wife, although I have paid less attention to her due to work and kids. I did purchase the ram air exhaust manifolds many years ago as headers constantly hit the ground and leaked. Performance wise I did find these provided more low end torque, headers higher up. Headers do sounds nice but leak all the time. Sorry for rambling, I can't seem to find video on your installation of these manifolds, would you mind directing me to the correct video. Again, she is a real beauty of a car!!!

Great car, I always thought 1976 is the nicest looking T/A, and I was born in 1976 .....back in the late 90s I couldnt find a nice 76 that was worth restoring and I looked at alot of them for sale. So somehow I ended up with 2 "uglier" 1975s a Formula and a 455 Trans Am. LOL

Yeah, they were not built to last.
