Dirtiest Car Ever! First Wash in 20 Years Lost Pontiac Trans Am Rare 455 HO

This has been one of my pet-preservation-projects over the past few months. I wanted to create what I feel would be a fun "TV show for KZbin". This was shot over 9 days, 1200+ individual clips, and obviously a ton of car detailing disaster work. For whatever reason, the idea of rescuing or "preserving" a car for someone else to enjoy and rebuild is incredible satisfying. Anyhow, this is actually one of the dirtiest cars I've ever worked on which created a few interesting paint washing problems. The paint was so rough from sun exposure that the dirt was incredibly challenging to clean or remove from the surface of the paint. Likewise, Joe told me later that he has a few extra body panels in his garage that he and Buddy can use for the rust repair stage of the restoration. This was definitely the first wash in 20 years, but well worth the effort. Hope everyone enjoys! -Larry

i’m 17 working on a 1975 trans am too with my dad. Sadly he passed away about a month ago to suicide. Ever since, i promised him i’d finish the car. Not a lot is finished but watching this motivates me to never give up on it. Thank you so much

Not only a legendary, rare car gets semi revived, but the bond between father & son is unforgettable! I truly hope they decide to restore it and get it back on the road where it truly belongs. Nice to see the 455 roar back to life!! My favorite Pontiac I had so far was my '70 GTO in Cardinal Red with Black interior. I rebuilt the motor in High School Auto Shop class, and had it buttoned up/finished at a speed shop. Drove it for 3 years, and loved every minute! Pontiac Forever.. Gone but not Forgotten!

[@gtocruisn]

I am life long Pontiac lover. You found a rare and very desireable "HO" High Output 455?! There is no way this should of been thought of as crusher material. This car was one of the few Heavy Breather Pontiacs that was produced at the tail end of the Muscle Car era! The "HO" had bigger valves in the heads and a longer stroke engine than the standard 400 cube engine. The idea behind it was to try and recapture proformance that was lost from just a few years earlier (peaked in 1970) due to lower compression ratios that helped smog but killed proformance. That HO is a "Holy Grail" rare Pontiac that has incredible potential. Some exhaust work, a big cam, etc. and this car was hard to beat! I love it!

[@nathanbrockenshire4994]

Larry I’m not even exaggerating, this may be the best video you’ve ever produced. I loved this style of editing and the content was great. Can’t wait to see what’s next!!

My parents' second car was a Camaro with the Corvette style tail lights and the same red paint job. My dad loved the car but was forced to sell it when gas prices went through the ceiling. He once borrowed a friend's Corvette (late 1980s model) and NEARLY decided to get one because it was the fastest car he had ever driven at the time. The Vette put out nearly 300 hp, which was a lot back then.

[@robbieperry136]

Around 2004, I was at an auto parts store in Jersey along route 10, near Whippany where I worked at the time. There was pristine 1972? With an SD 455. The owner was a retired pilot. He had factory spec'd the car in order to prepare for the gumball rally, which ended up being canceled due to the gas crisis. Route 80 was still being built out, and he and his buddies would due speed and gas consumption trials on it, before it was completed. There is nothing like getting an automotive history lesson from the people that lived it. Great job Larry. Give us an update if you can, as I am a fellow Queens car guy. Thanks!

thank you 4 saving this classic ✊

[@clima]

Just came across your channel and appreciate your tips to clean out vehicles. Your passion and care to bring cars back in shape is contagious and fun to watch. Keep it up and hope that doors of opportunity continue to open for you.

[@andrewwilken9725]

I think Larry’s videos are the only videos I like before watching every single time.

[@vadimblin]

Every saved Pontiac is a win! I love those since I was sitting in one on a car show. Unfortunately I'm living in Germany and getting one isn't that easy here.... One day I'll have the money to go to the states and get myself one of these!

[@cole-trickle50]

Doesn’t hurt that Pontiac Trans Am values are skyrocketing

[@bhcamaro2002]

You are correct about that

[@MrGessi-px4sm]

Love that he restores any condition of vehicle He doesn't just stick with new and crazy cars

[@keinlieb3818]

Never destroy a Pontiac. They are always worth saving.

ive got a 74 firebird, v6 passed down to me, watching this video inspires me to do something with it. great work

[@louisboem5264]

Anyone remember when this chanel was called "Drive along" or something like that?

[@GDavis49]

It was “Drive Clean” back in the day.

[@themilkynipple2801]

Do you guys get as much satisfaction from cleaning these cars as we do from watching you clean them? It is extremely satisfying for us, found your channel a month ago and i cant stop watching

[@pyro323]

Burt Reynolds would be proud of you guys! 🇺🇲 👍

[@jakey7178]

Love the guy at 10 mins 18, the looks of a man of that age either waiting on bad news of his car at the mechanics or sat in a waiting room awaiting a prostate exam!

I don’t have access to water so I’m totally interested in the pro foamer 😳

[@joshuamorehead6124]

What? Are you in Texas and they still haven't fixed your pipes or something?

[@nckhed]

@@joshuamorehead6124 Could be in NY where they have to wear masks in a car by themselves. 🤦‍♂️

[@IntegraDIY]

@@joshuamorehead6124 no I’m in Los Angeles California, but I live in an apartment building. So I rely on “waterless washing” or public self car washes. I have a pump sprayer and it makes cleaning a whole car a breeze with only 2 gallons of water surprisingly. But this foam sprayer would be great for lifting the dust easier

[@Youknowitbby]

What part of LA do you live at bro I have a IK foam pro 12 that I’ve been trying to get rid of

[@prestonedmonds4128]

This hits home. Me and my son are finishing up a several year restoration on a 78 Trans Am.

[@blacksheep343]

Freaking love your work, attention to every detail, and cinematography 🤙🤙 You ever think of adding a collapsible wall between the cars on the left and right of the wash bay to cut down on splatter? Also, I frequently notice you using compressed air to clear your pads, wouldn't that also spread all over? Feel like I remember seeing you using a box fan and filter to cut down on that spread too.

Such a beautiful car glad to see people still trying to bring old cars back to life

"Its like shooting BB's at a tank" Larry Kosilla - 2020

I think it's 2021.

[@Johnlt13]

The time and materials spent cleaning this car is move valuable then the car. But man it’s nice to see it come back to some sort of life. Great job as always Larry and crew. Cheers

[@Snarl616]

Imagine Larry Kosilla detailing a car that was freshly restored by Car SOS. Now that would be something amazing.

[@gr1mrea9er82]

This episode did remind me a lot about Car SOS. Fuzz and Tim don't do restorations. They rescue cars. Literally. They take cherished cars that are in danger of being junked, that have fallen out of care, for various reasons, and bring them back to life, and in doing so give their owners and their viewers a big fat grin. And they often end up saving a bit of automotive history too, as many of the cars are rare.

[@Snarl616]

@@gr1mrea9er82 O yes. Mr. Larry Kosilla and Car SOS: please read this and please do it.

[@Jfunkey]

I dunno why but out of all the restorations, this one brought me to absolute tears. Great job Larry!

[@nagizah8]

Seat welded to the floor from rust in typical GM fashion

[@yungtooli]

probably already like that from the dealer cause GM is nothing but JUNK

[@FTsingos]

@@yungtooli 1975. That's 45 years old and being stored outdoors not moved for 20 years.

[@yungtooli]

@@FTsingos excuses. its just typical GM junk thats all

[@FTsingos]

@@yungtooli you're right. All other cars are rust free after 45 years.
