Do I have a Y88 ???
« on: September 07, 2009, 04:19:00 PM »
I am restoring my 78 trans am , and one trip to a local outdoor carshow someone told me I might have a Y88 SE edition Trans Am.

If someone could take the time to tell me if the Build sheet is telling me I have a Y88? I did notice it is in one of the options thats for sure but at the bottom it also says WS6 in the design.

Please let me know.

WS6 was a suspension package. But if you read down the last column of option code you do have Y88 listed.

Congrats!

Interesting..... well I thought that WS6 in that small graphic..... w in w's and s in s' etc... meant I have a Ws6
I just thought it had to be a Y88 in large text in order to be one. I am also trying to figure out from the cowel plate and other areas if for sure I do.

help help...

thanks again joker..

Yeah, other than the build sheet PHS is the only other way to verify having any of the S/Es whether black or gold. ;)

But with this on your build sheet I don't see that there's any question.

Well thanks.... how did you figure out those stats?  "1267".
Could this car actually be that rare... and be worth something good one day?
Did you take a look at my cowl and build sheet... do I for sure have a Y88?

Thanks.
