1983 Pontiac Firebird from Lyon's Vintage Junkyard - We Missed ONE Key Detail to make it Run & Drive

We go back to Lyon's Vintage Junkyard in Loretto, KY to pick up a 1983 Pontiac Firebird that "ran when parked". After picking up the Firebird we head down to the Redneck Rumble Show in Lebanon, TN. Join us for a fun filled weekend!

I started out as a GM Tech in 1983, Chevy, Buick, Pontiac, Cadillac and Oldsmobile, you name it, I drove it at one time or another over the 7 years I turned wrenches.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Wow that's really cool!

[@JazFranco71]

The 80s Camaro is one of the best looking cars, I definitely a GM fan. Thanks for the vid folks 👍

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Sweet! Thank you!

[@J.JMcClure-wc9yh]

You can irritate the GM purists and put a FORD 302 in it lol. Whatever you both choose it will be a nice revival. God bless you both. Looking forward to the next video.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

LOL! Thank you!

I own a 1983 trans am and the ground effects are different that looks like an 84 trans am, I just subscribed to your guys channel.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks! We will double check.

[@randalltrowbridge9631]

My first car was a 83 trans am. It was black with the goldish brown along the bottom like 2 tone. It had a 383 in it was originally a 305 HO.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Beautiful color combination! Super sweet!

Very cool cars

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Yes, Lyon's Vintage Junkyard has some neat ones. There is another video of a full walkaround we did a few months prior on this yard.

[@Thirdgen83]

Cool. I have one of those!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Sweet!

You Guys are pretty tall!!!😮😊

Patrick from Lyon's Junkyard has us beat at over 6ft. We are right there at 5'8 or so.

[@boozieboise]

Find a cheap 305 and rebuild it. I had an 85 Trans Am, Black and Tan with T-tops. Loved it.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Sweet color combination!

[@jecrpalier]

Put marvel and that or trans fluid mix down each piston , remove plugs and try to free it with breaker bar. And use a pipe to work it back and forth. U can be thorough and take off valve covers and dead blow and after removing rockers tap each valve spring down until it pops up. That’s normal for locked engine.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

After we found out the car was missing a driveshaft and some other important bits to make it drive we changed gears and decided to just load it on the trailer. We've been working on pulling the old motor out and freshening up a 350 to drop in.

[@jasonanderson6714]

Cool project mild built small block would be nice.just my opinion. Cool firetruck.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks, that was along the lines of what we were thinking that would be the easiest for us to get ahold of.

I agree it's a curse I have a 86 iroc and I have 3 parts cars also

[@ResurrectedGarage]

That's the easiest way for us to build cars, we've had multiples of vehicles over the years because of that reason.

[@rickeyhecht1919]

Get ahold of Bruce Matty at Endless Cycle Mantua Ohio he's the guru on indian dirt bikes and has a lot and I mean a lot of parts and knowledge on these bikes prices are fair he helped me on the 1972 me100 indian I restored 2 years ago if you'd like to get rid of it I'd be possibly interested possible
