Scotty Kilmer Scotty you should play gta and do gameplay on it you would get so many views

[@angelfigueroa1206]

Not worth over $20k First of all its not a collectors car 2nd its not all original 3rd Mileage ? My cousin bought last year a burgundy 1987 trans am GTA 5 speed 305 tpi all original Original owner With all maintenance receipts since day one Original window sticker Paint was flawless Original 70k miles Car was garaged its entire life Owner originally selling it for $7500 Sold it for $6800 cash I think the only 3rd gen trans am worh over 15k should be the 1989 trans am 3.8 TURBO As it came equipped with the same engine found on the Grand National came with about 300hp was faster than any american car that year evan a (corvette ) ran 12s on 1/4 mile 0-60 4.6 secs thats faster than alot of todays cars and they only made about 1,500 .

[@bretsonenstein]

Gorgeous car but the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

[@angelfigueroa1206]

Aye Bee oh now i get it ,its an import so it cost more over there, im a Mustang enthusiast and most of my family and friends own muscle cars so i know if its rare and how much they are worth basic specs. I stay in the Bay Area you see muscle cars everywere....SF/Oakland

[@-m.d.n-9019]

How reliable is the 90-97 Firebird?

[@SA-zoom1]

Thanks for featuring my car scotty. Apologise for the video quality its not exactly my forte.. just wanted to add some info for those who dont know much about these cars. They were rated at 220hp and 295 lb/ft stock. 0-60 6.5 seconds q/mile 15.4 only available as auto (with 5.7 engine). In its day it was a proper performance car and was as fast as cars like Porsche 928's and even similar to ferrari 308's etc... but it was over 30 years ago! This ones a little quicker as it has the lower gear ratios, emissions delete, Cat delete, Cold air intake, full custom freeflow exhaust, msd ignition and performance chip, so is plenty quick enough for the tiny roads in the uk. My last trans am was a procharged 4th gen with 580bhp it was a ridiculously powerful car and i could never drive it near its power band. This car is great fun as its got enough power to have fun and NOT lose your license. They are rare in the uk and not many super clean ones about as many old imports have rusted away in our horrible climate. Mine came from japan so was totally rust free and even the underside was better than my 2002 4th gen. Anyway thanks for watching and have a great day.

[@lesliehorwinkle]

Nice job. The paint shows really well here. I think most here in the States wanted the IROC w/ the 5.7 as I don't believe I have ever seen a T/A from that era with it.

[@michaelburke7978]

I miss Pontiac so much. Even though they're the exact same as Chevy, I always preferred their variants of GM cars.

[@vtwinbreed]

Their orange interior glow was always better than the standard green everyone else used.

[@jquest43]

[@lb9gta307]

Pontiac had more detailed styling, better interiors, and different suspension tuning. They were a more premium car with a higher price. Pre-80s they also had their own completely different engine families as did the other divisions.

[@scottb_02]

Agreed, like how for example there were 5 Camaros to every one Trans Am back in the day.

[@alext9067]

I don't know who did the paint, but keep going back to them. They might know what they're doing. I edit and say that it's the blocking and the "cut and buff". That thing is optically perfect.

[@Caveman305.]

@11second69nickeynova it was a reference and a correct one at that seeing as the 1982 model started the third generation. this car resembles KITT being all black and a third generation TA. is it a replica? no, it doesn't have anything the same as Kitt. but for somebody on the street that only knew of the tv icon they wouldn't think twice to call this car "knight rider"

[@czluver4338]

Agreed. I see the car and Knight Rider comes to my mind.

[@bryankyrish6023]

Never did say WHY this car was still worth over $20,000. Thats why I clicked on this one, but nobody ever said why.

[@Dhalin]

Dude just *LOOK* at that beast. Just looking at the car, it looks fantastic. It had personality, it purred like a kitten when you revved it, I've been in a normal non-GTA transam before (or was it a grand am? the interiors look very similar) and they are just a pure pleasure to sit in, even in the passenger's seat. These cars are worth 20k because they are pure awesome.

[@meatrocket1]

Its not stock so its not worth $20,000 for sure

[@twodollardream5545]

Same here. It’s a beautiful car and definitely has a nostalgia value, but sadly I think there’s an extra 0 in that valuation. Maybe it’s worth more because it’s not in the US and harder to find/more in demand? I recently spent time in multiple European countries and noted that there were a lot of firebirds. I asked my friend in Switzerland about it and he said that “Everybody loves KITT.”

[@imonymous]

@@twodollardream5545 Yea, I grew up in Switzerland and based on Knight Rider my classmates and I had the impression that it was a super exclusive car on the level of Lamborghinis. Europe is crazy though, I was in the Netherlands last month and because of some weird laws a damn $35'000 Mustang is apparently €120'000. Anyway, I don't remember them being common though, because I'd get very excited the rare times I did see them. So when I moved to America in the early 90s I was shocked to see people in my high school driving around in them.

[@Dhalin]

See, that's when cars looked GOOD. The Trans-Am was always one of my favorite cars ever (Of course movies like Smokey and the Bandit sure as heck helped that). Nowadays, cars just look too samey, you can't tell one from the other. But back in the 80s, there were several cars that were more affordable that had their own personality, and maybe the GTA was expensive, but normal Trans-Ams could be found throughout the 90s and you could get them for a decent price and you had a car that was just pleasing to look at, pleasing to be in, and pleasing to drive. Oh, and... one thing this guy forgot.... where's the golden firebird on the hood!? How can you have a black TransAm and not have a bird on the hood?

Bucket list car right here! But more black for me. Love the sleepy eye headlights

I have 88 Trans Am GTA with 5 speed, T-tops, digital dash and I have new 350 crate engine for it! 😃

[@Theuglytruth1776]

You couldn't even special order a 350 5 speed when they were built. Car was designed for road courses not drag strips. LOL

[@itsonlyacommentsnowflake3346]

That's a fine example, make sure you avoid all the potholes and crazy speed bumps🤪🤪 Awesome job👌👌

Stunning! Awesome Trans Am

Currently been working on a what I like to call a "Resto-Retro" for my car. It's a 1984 Firebird S/E (Special Edition). It's a T-Top and we already swapped the motor for a v8 smallblock. Just need to get the hydraulic clutch to mount right and cooperate. Once we ge it running right we can get an exhaust system installed and have the little things worked on
