1979 Pontiac Trans Am Special Edition Y84 WS6 W72 Print E-mail
Here is an unrestored Black Special Edition Trans Am aka Y84 aka Smokey and the Bandit. This example is 1 of 1107 produced with the 4 speed manual transmission. This particular example has been documented as the 2nd to last W72 Special Edition produced. The last W72 Special Edition was produced just a short time after this one on the same build day making this car a very important and valuable car. We are given the task of cleaning up the original underside of this unmolested vehicle.
 Here is the beautiful Y84 Special Edition Trans Am 
  Original interior in the hobnail and lombardy cloth. The black on black combination is rare
  Dash view. The steering wheel and dash bezel were gold on the SE
  Rear view
  Another view
  Now for the underside. While the topside is in beautiful condition, the underside shows it's age
  Original floors but tired
  The underside disassembly begins. No, that is not Ted Kazinski
  Axle and exhaust look really tired
  Floors are solid and original. And they look it!
  How is that for a difference? 2 weeks of hard scraping and cleanup give this result
  Another view of the underside as it gets cleaned up and new stainless lines are installed
  Rear axle looks better than it ever has in it's basic black
  Front wheel houses are cleaned up
  Rear wheel houses look great. New Bilstein shocks will ensure the ride is smooth
  New rear springs, hardware and bushings are installed
  Sway bar is installed, new fuel tank also
  New stainless exhaust system from Pypes is installed and fitted
  Here is the stainless system installed
  Stainless exhaust splitters complete the system
  On the ground, this underside looks as good as the top side!
