[@edwarddrake4268]

For those saying that the gas gauge is off, the tanks in those models are wedge shaped \ / like a "V" smaller quantities registered higher on the gauge. I had a 95 Z28 and the fuel gauge would move slowly from full to half, and then take a nosedive after around half tank till empty 😅

[@jokergordon8446]

I currently own a 95 z28, and had the same issues. Once it gets to a half a tank, you better find a gas station!

[@jonathangoldberg7777]

6k is a great deal for that car. Usually the dash and door panels are cracked. Seats ripped at that price. I have a 94 black trans am. Picked it up with 40k miles for 5k a few years ago and needed some cosmetic and minor mechanical tlc from sitting. Now she’s like brand new and fun to drive. I am also a collector of 80s and 90s cars. Mostly Pontiac. I get them cheaper so I can fix them up and drive ‘em. My wife wants to kill me lol

[@ksmooth1973]

Yeah thats a nice T/A I had a formula that was just garbage

[@jimsix9929]

that rear end noise was very common on those cars, bad news is it will take a ring and pinion and bearings to make it go away, still it is not a bad job, parts are cheap, it only takes one day, a few bulbs a good detail and some TLC and you have a great car worth a lot of money

[@sprsprtrudy]

Posi trac IS a limited slip. The blue throttle body plate is aftermarket and the blue valve covers were painted not stock colored. It looks like it has lowering springs in it by the stance. It's obviously not 100% stock. Imo $6k is a clean running lt1 car so you got fair market value... Could definitely find one similar for cheaper but finding a 25th anniversary car isn't as easy... Good score imo...

[@rachalhollier5679]

Look into the alarm system. My 2001 Camaro I purchased had a rod knock. So I changed the engine and battery,& it would not start. It tripped the alarm,& it had an aftermarket radio in it. To turn alarm off, consisted of pressing certain radio buttons to turn it off,which I didn’t have. Needless to say I had to get rid of it because of family issues. This was in 2012, then you had to bring it to a dealership for them to turn off the VATS system and I had no way to do that. Sucked for me

[@shawncurry5515]

Randy, for your headlight motor issue, you can either change the headlight motor, or do the brass gear upgrade. My t/a had the same issue, seems like these and the c4 Corvette had same issue. I had a Corvette guy in my area help me out with the gear idea. Factory is plastic/nylon and due to age just strips out etc.......far as rear diff noise, check your fluid. May just need service

[@CallforthePriest]

Good man Shawn, have the same issue in my C4 that i need to fix. You beat me to the comment :)

[@mtrgv]

Good info!

[@2DogsVlogs]

Like your idea of replacing plastic with brass. Nice upgrade. The diff on Randy's car is done. Mine sounded\did the same thing. Quiet at low or high speeds but between 48 & 64 there was that annoying whine. Had to rebuild it. Got it professionally done and suspension work for $400. Hopefully the mirrors not working is just a blown fuse or just need silicone spray on the gears.

[@shawncurry5515]

Yeah, rebuild isn't very expensive on the 10 bolt......but I do know it's a shot in the dark, but should be able to pop it open, clean it out and inspect it at the very least ....... The reseal with gasket and fill with 80w-90 synthetic and some friction modifier to get by........

[@jasonlavertu6894]

Nice find, I bought a 95 online 2006 out of Florida w/109k and now has just under 150k and it is the LT1 with the 6 speed. Ive done the optispark and while i was that deep replaced the timing chain and water pump. I still own it and is parked every winter here in Maine. Yor rear end noise is common as i have it when i let off the throttle. And my thermostat is a 160 so very little heat in mine also.

Use Motive gear when you rebuild it. Very strong and quiet also

[@JesseHarjala]

Randy, same thing here. My 93 Z28 runs out immediately when it just touches the line for empty. And when it's full, the needle on the gauge shows a quarter tank over full. You learn to adjust to it. Watch that last 3/8s of a tank. Its gone super fast!

The LT1 just has that certain sound to it. Have fun with that car for me!

[@Tim-Tiller]

I just got a 2007 Pontiac Solstice, when I checked the carfax it had something similar listed, major damage reported on visual inspection. It’s been gone over thoroughly on a lift and no damage is anywhere that can be noticed visually. Mine also has a LSD and whines, even after a rear end service, it is a known characteristic of the LSD rear end in this car.

[@mtrgv]

Check ALL the fuses and relays for damage, etc, etc. Those would be easy fixes if the car has blown fuses and or relays.

[@HarleyBadger]

Randy, try the heat on "floor." Some GMs from the 90s and earlier had a feature where the air temperature coming out of the panel vents was limited, so that you could have hot air coming out the floor but cooler air at upper body level to keep comfortable due to the warming effect of the sun. Toyotas do that too, while Fords of the era would have the same temperature regardless of airflow selection.

[@louismoench3554]

my 82 rampage has two big vents that say "FLOOR AIR" on them

[@BrendanW0214]

Your codes at 23:53 are RPO codes. Basically it just tells you what options your car has if you want to go decode them. 6K is a great deal on this T/A! I had a 2000 Firebird and this video definitely brought back a ton of memories, like the gear noise from the headlight motors. I rebuilt my motors with brass gears and it eliminated the issue. Getting them out is a pain in the ass but it’s definitely doable. As far as leaks are concerned, the fourth gens are notorious for rear main and pan gasket leaks so keep an eye on those. My old car had a rear main leak and admittedly it wasn’t a terrible leak, but it was noticeable especially when you drove with the windows down or with the heater on and got a nice whiff of burning oil.

[@mattspontiacta]

You got your self a beautiful 25th Anniversary TA for a steal. Even with 119k on it. When you opened up the glove box I see you have a GU5 which is a 3.23 rear gear ratio. I saw the G80 which is posi traction, limited slip rear end. All Trans Ams had posi traction. Your 94 TA is rated at 275 flywheel hp. They may be slow by todays standards but they cleaned house back in their day. Low low 14s from 98 mph - 101 mph depending on what track and elevation. I had a couple 4th gens. I had a 95 LT1 Formula best time it ran bone stock was 14.10 at 99 mph. I also had a 93 LT1 Firehawk Formula M6. With headers and a tune it went 13. 7 @ 103 mph That 94 TA will definitely put the hurt on the GN and you 91 bird sitting in your yard. The 4rh gen Trans Ams would run a little over 150 mph top speed. 4th gen TAs do it all well. Stop, handle and run like hell. Nice find !

[@mattvermont7994]

Hi Randy, I owned a similar Firebird in the past. Very fun to drive short distances. No fun on a long trip though, as the exhaust drone wears on a person. That rear diff. whine is not normal. And that rear diff. is considered one of the weak points of the car. I once heard it described as "Fragile as if it was made of glass".

[@bikeman1x11]

use a stock type exhaust and its not awful- the fart cans will drive anyne mad

[@gordocarbo]

That was an issue with many of this era F bodies. Dont know if there was a recall or bulletin on it.

[@mtrgv]

Very nice Trans Am Firebird. A bottle or two of Chevron Techron high mileage fuel additive will dissolve the deposits on the fuel level sender in the fuel tank. It would appear that the fuel gauge isn't quite accurate. There are YT videos on removing/replacing the heater core. I would replace the fuel filter as all the nasty stuff from the bottom of the tank probably got pushed into the filter. Fix her and flip her, good to go!

That white on blue is hard to beat but the 99 with the blue / chrome wheels look even better (30th Anniversary ) I’d definitely hang onto that long term bc eventually the older mid 90s trans am will get recognized and gain value especially when the 98-02 get totally untouchable which is coming soon

You got a great deal. That car is really clean to be 30 years old. I never had an issue with my horn, not sure what is going on there. My heater did the same thing though, took forever to get hot. I flushed it gently with water and it helped a little, but it still too 10 miles in the winter to even start to get warm. I cannot believe that rear emblem is not faded and the dash is not cracked. Car must've been garage kept or maybe those things have been replaced. As far as I can tell, it needs a headlight motor, maybe some rear gears, horn (fuse), and that's it.

[@amadeo_serrano]

The "frame damage" could also be a flattened or dented spot somewhere on the structure from a speed bump or other obstruction. Being a unibody car, that could include pinch-welded ribs on the actual body structure or dent on one or both subframes.

You're probably going to need a new diff. I had a 2001 Camaro with the Y87 pkg which included many of the Z28 hardware with a posi traction rear. Most likely the same unit. I followed the service guide and took it in for a diff fluid change at 3k miles (only 3k the first time, then I think every 50k) and immediately after I had a whine. The stupid dealership would not fix it. They said it was normal. After going back and forth with them several times I said screw it and found a local shop that could replace the unit. I'm not sure what they replaced it with....but from the moment I drove out, no more noise ever and I put 100k on that car. If I remember correctly you have to use special fluid or an additive in that Torsen unit or it could get damaged and I bet the dealership didn't. Try doing a fluid change and use the specified friction additive and see if it goes away. If not, replace it.

I would say you got a dang good deal, well worth 6K. Even if you had to put 5K into the motor it would still be a good deal. Funny the problem was it was out of gas. Besides cleaning the car I think fixing the fuel level/gauge would be good and maybe change the differential fluid to see if that helps. Positive diffs normally require special fluids and maybe somebody put the wrong type in.
