My Dad bought a new Camaro Z28 back in 1982 . He was one of the first in the city of Houston to get one . I can remember all of the neighbors coming over to check out the car . Your Trans Am is literally a time capsule . It’s almost as cool as KITT . I currently restoring my 2002 WS6 Trans Am . Watching your channel is giving me the itch to tackle a KITT of my own next . Keep up the great work

Man I cried watching this. Your car looks so beautiful and sounds like a dream. I'm working on restoring a 92 Firebird and I cant wait till mine looks and sounds as good as yours. Thank you, this has encouraged me to work more on my own. :) Addendum: Dude dont just pack it away and leave it locked up. Its a car, it wants to be driven, it wants fresh air and open roads. I'm not saying use it as your daily driver, but take it out once in a while. Give it a good fresh cruise, especially on nice days where the weather is perfect!

That was a real treat! Being an eighties kid (and thanks to my childhood obsession with cars... and Knight Rider) I always had a warm spot for these '82 Trans Ams; may have even been my favourite car for a while, but then... you know... "Cannonball Run"... Lamborghini Countach! :D As a Brit, I have not seen many '82 Trans Ams in person; except for those that have undergone restoration or tidy-ups for KITT projects, the ones that I have seen are nearly always pretty ropey. - These things just don't age well. Never thought I'd see the day that I'd learn of the existence of one that's over 3 decades old and yet be as mint as this. - Well done!

I to had an 1982 Black/Gold Trans Am just like this, only it had a 305 V8 with a carburetor, not fuel injected. I have to say that I got it when I was 18 years old as a graduation gift, and it was the most beautiful car I had ever seen. Mine had grey cloth interior (my dad ordered it that was, he did not like black interiors and the tan interior was almost orange, so he went with grey. I dint mind, lol. The black exterior paint was absolutely by far the most flawless paint I have ever seen on a factory car. There was zero orange-peel, which you see on ALL cars made today. This car shows you just how nicely the black paint was done by GM at that time. Mine was just as slick and wet looking, really flawless. I unfortunately drove the wheels off of mine, lol. I ended up selling it (sadly) in 1998 after I married and we needed sedans not sports cars. However, I think about it all of the time. It brought me the most fun every single day that I drove it, no lie. The re-design to this body was so sexy to me I had to have it. My dad ordered such an early one that the window cranks on the doorsills had firebird inserts in them where the crank would go, my door sills were not smooth with no holes, like this one. I don't know why, it came from the factory with poor windows. I wish I had a picture. I remember being curious what the emblem was doing in such an odd place and popped one off to find a hole for a hand crank window handle! Anyway, thank you for sharing, this video brought me happy memories to watch, but also made me incredibly sad that I let mine go. Thanks for sharing, these were indeed cherry cars, and were vastly underrated.

Seriously your project/build/replica was way better than any of the examples used in the show....anyway I respect your decision to sell, I don't agree, but I do respect. The style/design gurus of these Trans Ams were truly gifted automotive artists. These cars have not aged 1 bit in nearly 40 years. I honestly " tear up " when I see one of these at the wrecking yard. Bloody Hell !!! Chris you have found the " Mother Lode " Pristine/Immaculate & Oh so BAD ASS !!! & that deep bass sounding engine note on idle, just makes such a statement..

I had this exact same year, mine was called a “Recaro Edition” with tan leather Recaro seats. My wheels did not come with the center discs but were painted gold. If you leave the discs off there was small black center caps and bolt caps that finish the look. Super cool car back then only thing cooler was maybe a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

Back in 1995, as a 17yr old, I bought an 83 TA that was very similar to this one, however not as clean as yours. The paint was identical, however the interior in mine was black and grey and it had a different shifter. Mine had the T-style shifter (idk the proper name of it) that had the button on the side. My car was slower than Christmas and the T-tops leaked, but I loved that car. I’d love to have one again. Great video, man.

Very nice car. I owned a 83 Trans Am in HS, it was a sharp car, but it was a SLUG esp. with the automatic. My next car was a Mustang LX 5.0, with straight pipes and a Hurst 5-speed. That was the opposite, not as pretty, but it smoked almost every other car I raced back in the day.

Heck it still has its factory radiator hose clamps. It's magnificent. Oh and by the way you said that the Trans Am's had the gold bird in 1982 and the Firebird's had a silver one. I want to correct you on that one. The only cars with the gold bird were the black & gold cars such as the Trans Am, Recaro Trans Am and the Firebird S/E in gold color. The other cars all had a silver bird on the center of the tail light.

Only thing I would say is please stop driving with no hands on the wheel for up to 10 seconds at a time, you're also passing oncoming cars on a 2 lane road, you will never be able to keep the car straight if anything happens.

For me personally one of the most beautiful cars that were built. I remember it so well, at first when I was a kid I saw the movie (Smokey and the Bandit), with the 1977 Trans Am Firebird, I like that car as well. Some time later the series Knight Rider came on TV and when I saw this car I almost flipped out. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible for us in Germany to own such a car. The gasoline price is so high in our country and unfortunately everything has become so expensive. Also this model here in absolute original condition is really, very nice. A car is always as beautiful as its owner.This car was taken care of really well as you can see. I wish it was my car :-)

BEAUTIFUL!!! Just curious about something you said, though. Why did you state you wished the vehicle did *not* have "Rusty Jones" applied?

Very Pretty. I understand the fear to mess it up. I guess it will remain a show car. Will probably be worth a mint in ten years.

Wow that's amazing. I had a 89 L98 GTA black on black leather car when I was 19. She was a bit rusty here and there but I loved it. I saw it for sale it has close to 300xxx miles mostly all original. I know because I knew that car in and out he literally did nothing to it when I saw it last. Pretty sure the fuel pump was replaced by then and I replaced the distributor when I had it. L98 is a damn good motor just lots of torque low hp that keeps it alive for a long time.

My dad had a T/A just like this one many years before I was born, except his had T-Tops. He traded the car in '89 on a Mustang (that I now own), but we still have the bowling ball hubcaps!

What an incredibly well preserved specimen. I have never seen anything quite like that. It is as if it had been delivered from 1982 through a time machine. Please, could you give some information about the environment where the car was preserved, the degree of humidity, temperature, what - if any - preserving coats were used for the different surfaces (paint, rubber, plastic). Thanks!

OMG dude that car is fkn perfect! How did you find it. Its amazing some people buy a car and never drive it. Great purchase, no matter what you paid for it, it was worth it.You gotta enjoy it though man. Take it out of the cocoon once in awhile, and pull it out on the driveway, then bring a few buddies over, sit back in the lawn chairs with some cold brews and admire your great buy, you'll be the talk of the town.

Hi Chris, I'm 45 and knight rider was my favourite show back in the 80's, and I love it kitty, but now at my age I prefer that 7k trans-am no mods, I also liked the video dude.

It is absolutely mint! I'd still drive it 1000 miles per year or so. There's no way this car is gonna loose value anyway. Interesting point about the satin black painted rear spoiler, I didn't know that

WoW! The best part is when (because I guess he's too busy being awesome or just another one of those thoughtless..I digress) he is behind the wheel looking into the camera and talking with his hands Instead of.. ya know driving? But hey man Safety 3rd is my motto and you obviously must be the best driver on the road.? Aahh u got this yo! Beautiful gem you found. Just amazing 🙏 The highest of Fives Sir.

Wow what an amazing one of a kind finds. If Pontiac Motor Division was still in business I bet they'd buy this car back for their collection like Chevrolet have for their Corvettes. If I win the lottery I'll make you a rich man buying that from you and ship it to the UK ;)

It's weird how such a relatively ordinary car can be so cool. It's not a super car by any means. It's like: "I know! Let's make a sci-fi show about a Volvo!"...

Soooooo beautiful!! I wish I could have one someday, but the biggest problem back here in Spain is that the few existent are market-adapted and have different tail lights, mirrors, bumpers... such a pity!
