T
he Y88 Gold Special Edition was a one-year only special edition created exclusively for the 1978 model year. With the success of Smokey and the Bandit, sales of the Trans Am were on the rise. Pontiac kept this momentum going by releasing the Y88 Gold Special Edition.
1978 Pontiac Trans Am, that has been restored within the past five years, this Trans Am has been repainted in the color star light black 19, they did a great paint job on the vehicle, the snowflake wheels are brand new onto the car, with a great set of radial tires, all of the glass on the car is in great condition along with all the stainless steel trim around the windows,
W72 Performance Package which consisted of the T/A 6.6 engine with 20 more horsepower . This extra horsepower was created by using a better camshaft and tweaking the compression ratio. Buyers that ordered the WS6 Performance Package got 15×8-inch wheels, larger stabilizer bars, and quick-ratio power steering. Special Editions with both of these packages are highly desirable and bring higher selling prices.
Only 8,666 Y88 Gold Special Editions left the factory in 1978. This disco-era bird came out at a time when the Trans Am was the hottest thing on the road. Pontiac continued to produce special editions but none were as “golden” as the Y88 Gold Special Edition.
This is a number matching freshly restored Trans Am that only needs A/C compressor to be finished.
