The original owner of this unique 1975 Firebird Trans Am had one goal: to rule over everything else in town, including the ’74 T/A SD driven by the local Pontiac dealer’s son. With that in mind, he took the Silver ‘Bird to Yenko Chevrolet, where Don and Frank advised him that an L88 427 CI big block would do the trick. The craftsmen at Yenko Chevrolet fabricated the engine mounts, power steering and starter brackets and other hardware to facilitate the conversion, and installed 4.10 gears to maximize the L88’s considerable effect.
The result is this all-powerful Yenko L88 Trans Am, the only one known to exist. With just 13,000 miles on the clock, it is as fresh and powerful as the day it was completed. In the best Yenko tradition, the car’s history is completely documented, including the full ownership trail, title copies, all Yenko receipts and records and a listing in the Pontiac Historical Society.
