Let's take a look at the 1978 Pontiac Firebird I bought for $1900 in 2014, and have spent countless hours working on. It is a project car, purchased incomplete and with many parts in poor shape, but a solid shell. This isn't a restoration, isn't a drag car, and isn't a high-dollar build. It's a car built on a budget, and built to be driven.
This video covers pretty much the story up until now of this car, but of course does not cover everything. It also isn't entirely in chronological order, so please don't mind parts changing out of order. I wrote up a table and dropped in every part I could think of, the total cost is around $4200 for the car and the parts covered in this video.
Timeline of filming: October 30th, 2014 - December 12th, 2017
Song List (Order of First Appearance):
0:01 Surfing Llama - Bird Creek
2:29 Nadia's Theme - Topher Mohr and Alex Elena
2:42 Old Friend - Silent Partner
7:46 Our Distance - Silent Partner
9:45 Rooftops - Silent Partner
10:22 Old Friend - Silent Partner (Excerpt)

It doesn't matter if it is fast or lays rubber for a 1/4 mile what matters is that you built it and it is yours. Enjoy it for what it is like you said it isn't a show car. What matters is that you love it. Other opinions do not matter.

Manly tears were shed. My dad bought a blue 78 Trans Am with the 400 pontiac but it’s been sitting in our garage for 8 years now and without a steady job and me finishing college, the car patiently awaits the day where we can continue the project. Some day that car will be daily driven all over my country.

@@NorburyKnobWhomperswow I did not expect an answer to this 6 years later. Well… the cars still exists but is still just sitting there unfortunately. Some years ago I tried making it run but ran into an argument with my father and gave up. It’s complicated. The car has been sitting since then and it’s not going anywhere soon. I have dropped out of college but got a good steady job. I guess that life just happens. Got a good girlfriend. Thank God I could be a lot worse. A lot has changed in this 6 years. But don’t worry. The car is here and one day I’ll keep my promise and ride it out into the sunset! Thanks for asking bro!!

My Dad got me into muscle cars and even bought me a 1968 Mercury Cougar. We installed a BOSS 302 and man did she fly. California was tightening her grip and we sold it but, slowly but, surely I talked my Dad into helping me get my 1976 Chevrolet Camaro (Rally Sport). We installed a 350 HO. My Dad passed away about 10 years ago but, I still keep the Camaro running good in his honor. I bet he'd be proud of how far the Camaro has come since day one. This video brings up a lot of memories. It's like we're family now.

My father was also a Pontiac man and we had a 66 LeMans ( now mine) a 66 GTO convertible 4-speed clone lost to fire and several other Pontiacs. I my self had a 1989 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 I bought in Atlanta, Georgia and brought home to Ohio and it was an immaculate vehicle no rust and the A/C even worked and the T-Tops did not leak. But being a young man in 2008 (32) I thought it needed more power so out came the engine and trans and I proceeded to build a pretty strong 350 and in the process I deleted all the A/C shit and all the computer controls, wiring and the TPI injection system and ruined the drivability of the car and sold it, and I regret doing that to an awesome car. I am currently in the restoration of my fathers 66 LeMans because he has since passed away and it will be a tribute to him...completely stock other than a few improvements for safety's sake and maybe a little lower with more meat under it and of course a loud sound system. Just sitting behind the wheel and moving it around in my barn I get nostalgic about all the great times we had as a family at car shows or club meets. My 2 children are graduating high school this year and 1 is going away to college for Chemical Engineering and the other to the Air Force for Aerospace Engineering so it will just be me and my wife taking the car out for drives on the country roads where we live and enjoying the vehicle my father enjoyed with his wife and children and honor the memory of a great man taken from our lives way too soon... bravo to you!

I understand the passion you feel for that car. My first love was a 1987 Dodge Ares K Wagon Streetside 20 (good luck saying that all in one breath.) This was a car my parents got me for $500. This thing turned away so many people because it smelled, the AC didn't work, run had gotten into the frame, the seals were bad, the transmission didn't fully engage after a stop, the glove box would open if you hit a pot hole, and the muffler "deployed" one day while a guy in a pickup was tailgating. But that beauty could turn on a dime, had the most comfortable bench seats (with a stylish saddle blanket covering the upholstery I might add), could stop on command, was the widest damn thing on the road, and every mechanic, gear head, and friend I showed it to loved it. I miss that car a lot, but when the transmission failed on me there was nothing I could do. But for a car that gave me more memories per mile and smiles per gallon than I can count it will always be special to me. Some people just don't get it, but that is their loss.

I have a 78 Redbird. I changed it around to a muscle car and show car. All details were covered. I have small B&M blower. Headers run to mufflers minus that converter. I also have cut offs welded in to run straight headers in races or dynos. I had highway gears that I swapped out and placed 4.10s in. It's cherry red. I didn't want this car at first. I could have bought a Bandit version. At the same car show these 2 set. The Bandit would eventually need changes I ended up doing to the Redbird. But the Redbird was a 1 owner and sooooo clean. Always garage kept, and no use to race it bc it was a cruiser for highways. It was perfect for the 17 year old me. I had a pretty car for high school. At the end, I parked it and began a beast mode overhaul.

Dude that is awesome. It's so nice to see a forgotten old "smog era musclecar" come back from the grave. I had a 75 Firebird, 350 big block. I rebuilt the engine and put the widest tires possible (too wide if I'm honest) on it, with Corvette 25th anniversary rims and to top it off, a 400 Firebird Formula dual-scoop hood. It was badass and I loved it. Sadly, I went to jack it up one day and the frame literally broke in half. Damn you salty salt. I miss that car. Best of luck with yours.

You have to start with a solid car, though, or it'll just end up in the back yard because the money isn't there in the everyday Joe's pocket to do a wreck right. I'm either going to get me a T/A again, or, at long last, an El Camino. Thanks for the inspiration!

Beautiful car man! I bought a beat up old 79 Formula a few years back for $ 1500. Came with a 350 just like yours so i rebuilt it for $3000 got it all up and running amazing and found out it had stage 4 cancer. Body shop couldnt believe i was still driving it around it was so bad. So i looked for a few weeks on craigslist until i found a 79 trans am roller for $3500. Drove to wisconsin to take a look at it and it was beautiful. The T-Tops leaked and rusted out the floor panels but everything else is perfect. The guy that owned it picked it up from Tennessee and between this and his 57 Belair he didnt have the money to do both. So after lots of haggling i got the price down to $2800 and it came with an extra 350 and tons of extra parts for it. So i got it home and dropped it off at the body shop where its sat for a year now because they want cash upfront for working on it before looking at it. So i bought the floor pans and a brand new carpet for it. Just found out a buddy of mine has a 400 for sale so im going to pick that up this weekend and start the building process. Ive never been more excited to get to work on one of my dream cars. Theres nothing like it out there. It makes me happy to see that other people have such love for cars. Great video!

Around 15 years ago, I got myself an 82 Trans Am to work on. Unfortunately, working on cars as a hobby turned out to be really hard in Switzerland because we just don't have the space for it. Our garages usually are just wide enough for the car to be parked in and for you to get out, usually uncomfortably. What you people in northern America call a double garage would probably house 4 cars around here. I sold the thing to Germany. Your videos prompted me to send the dude an email. It seems he more or less completely rebuilt the thing in the meantime and while there is an elemnt of yearning to it, I'm really glad that my car got the attention it deserves.

Fantastic video again, you catch the same sentiment I have about my 1985 corvette which was my first "car" that dragged me into car culture and working on cars.

Just came here through KZbin's recommendations - I just couldn't not click a video by a guy named "fuzzydicepimp"-, this reminds me so much of my own story with my E30 which has been my first real car. I'd love to own old american iron but that's rare, difficult and expensive in Europe. Subscribed right away, eager to see what comes next for this car!

I always liked the second gen body style. Had an 80 Z/28. One of my favorite cars I’ve owned.

My mom gave me her 79 trans am with the 403 olds and a grenaded turbo 350 that was rusted out, I just got a donor 80 body with a whole rebuilt bottom end and upgraded suspention with disc brakes all round and I got a pontiac 400 with a 400 transmission,. I'm going to gut the interrior and swap the 79 flares and packaging on it painted deep emerald with solid american racing rims. fingers crossed it's done before the winter sets in again.

This video brought back some memories thanks brotha! This was my first car also! 78 firebird with a 350 chevy same rootbeer brown color also. I eventually painted it satin black. Unfortunately it caught fire before we sold it. But now I recently purchased a 1968 firebird to start the journey again.

I drove a 79’ firebird with 305 all through H.S. in the late 80’s. My dad had a t-top 78 trans am 400/400 during the same time that I wish I still had today!!!!!
