Real Y88 gold special edition, upgraded 455!

True Y88 Special Edition Gold Trans Am and it's Pontiac Historical documented. The Y88 included the gold paint, gold tinted glass T-tops, gold in the wheels and on the machine turned dash bezel. GM made these for only 1 year and they were limited production. This one is well restored and upgraded with a 455 motor.

EXTERIOR: Overall a very good restoration. The body is straight, and the panels line up nicely. It is decked out with shaker scoop, fender flares, trunk spoiler and fender air extractors. Repainted its original Solar Gold color and it is smooth and glossy. It has its original gold tinted T Tops, new Special Edition door handle decals and blacked out window trim. the decals including the hood bird are in excellent shape. The wheels are awesome! They are either new or restored and they are the much better looking 15x7 with the polished lip. They are wrapped in nice BF Goodrich radial tires.

INTERIOR: This is the deluxe interior. The door panels and armrests are excellent and look to be replaced. Reupholstered and recushioned seats. Part of the special edition package is the gold tinted machine turned dash. It has a working clock and new tachometer. The dash pad is in really nice shape, and in the glovebox is a power trunk release button. The center console looks really good and has power window switches in the center. The headliner has been replaced and it has a nice formula cushioned grip wheel on a tilt column.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood you'll find a hopped up 455 V8 pushing 400HP! It has a hotter Competition Cam, and has been fitted with an Edelbrock Torquer II intake, Edelbrock 750 dual carb, and Edelbrock air cleaner. Long Tube headers are bolted to Ported 62 heads. The rest of the accessories include a 50K High Energy Ignition system, Power steering, and power brakes. A vacuum canister and pump supply the extra vacuum needed because of the performance cam. The heat/ac were deleted.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and jambs have been painted nice and glossy. The trunk light is functional. It is also a functional power trunk release. There are two liner mats that sit above a rust free, clean metal trunk pan. There are also the original bags for the T-tops, so they don't break when you are driving around with them off.

UNDERSIDE: Body off frame restoration! The front suspension looks to be replaced at time of restoration. This features Pontiacs Radial Tuned Suspension front and rear and is all clean and looks great. The body bushings were replaced and are new. The power disc brakes are in great shape, and the dual exhaust is fitted to the longtube headers. They are paired with dual Flowmaster mufflers. Mated to the engine is a nicely rebuilt TCI Turbo 400. It has a stock torque converter and is backed by a factory Posi-Trac rear end. The floors and frame are super clean and dry. They were prepped and painted black.

SERVICE: After our shop inspection, we found and replaced a few small things. The door locks were replaced, ignition cylinder, a new tachometer was installed, and the speedo gear was replaced.

This is a very nice example of a rare Y88, 1 year only special edition trans am with the best looking front end. Hopped up with the right upgrades and it's ready to have some fun in.
