Ok I haven't muddled through all the posts in this thread. But I have to interceed.
Pontiac in 1976 mad a 50th anniversary trans am, yes 50th. It celebrated the 50th anniversary of Pontiac, NOT the trans am. While this particular car may be a celebration of the 75th anniversary of Pontiac, I highly doubt it. I have never heard any press on it,or seen any write ups on it. If you still have doubts contact Jim Mattison at PHS with your vin number and he may be able to help.

Its the 75th Aniversary of Pontiac, not the Firebird.

A 75th anniversary Trans Am? LOL, what idiot started that? That would mean it was made in the 20's-30's? The Trans Am debuted in '69, so '02 is typically the T/A's 33rd year. The Firebird was started in '67 with the Camaro, so '02 Firebird's are the 35th year.

LOL.. I love the people making comments on how the firebird was started in the 60's so this package is not possible etc.. Apparently there are a lot of people who never bother to read the posts in the thread before they post.

For those saying that this package isnt real....
PLEASE READ THE THREAD FROM THE BEGINING!.
The 75th Anniversary package refers to the age of the Pontiac brand. The 75th Anniversary package was offered on other Pontiac vehicles at the time also. Its only a collection of popular trim options put into a "package".

I hate to bring back a dead thread, but has anybody ever found out the actual build numbers for the Formulas with the 75th Anniversary package? I havent heard of any T/As with it, but I do still have my window sticker off of mine with the 75th package listed on it. I have been searched for years trying to figure out how rare my car actually is. From what I can tell, they made them in black and NBM, never heard of any other color. Does anybody have ANY info?

I can't believe someone found this old thread.

I got a 75th Pontiac TA that is Sunset Orange Metallic. After doing some digging previously on the badge I found that it came with... nothing extra... Even the Grand Prix's got similar badges for them like the 75th on the Firebirds/Formula/TA. I will throw the last 8 digits of VIN up later today or tomorrow to find out any info on the car and see if maybe something else can be found on it.
I know on NADA.com or KBB.com that it is an option and when I chose it (pricing car before I bought it) it added 5k value to the price tag of the car. You would think there is something significantly special done to it, but guess not. Also looking back through my Firebird History book and it even describes it as an option tacking on an extra few $$ from the factory. Will have to scan page and possibly post or at least post more details on it later!

(Not aimed toward you! It's the ones with the ridiculous replies with typing comments & not knowing the whole truth.)

It wasnt until yesterday that I realized that the 75th Anni. wasnt just a Formula thing. Until then, I had thought that they slapped the badge on the car just to try to get rid of a few extra parts before the end of the F-Bodies.
And yeah, I'm surprised I found this thread too.
Unlike others, I found that the Search button works wonders!
