Another TLC project car, but this is still a winner! Hey Nick, some people just don't appreciate old cars. Definitely a driver! Maple Motors car for sure. This will sell!!

A few little things wrong, but overall a pretty damn good TA! These things are iconic. My old man had a '89 Firebird Formula, which was pretty sweet, but the 70s Firebird/Trans Am generation was really special.

My Dad had one same as that one with 403. Rainy days you have to be very light on throttle or it will go sideways and tap someone beside you.

That's a sweet deal on a sweet ride. Someone put a nice cam in that 403, she goes! And I think the seats are fine, they're just really dirty and need a good deep-cleaning

@grand73am Ай бұрын

The seats aren't dirty. They're just worn out. On those "hobnail" seat inserts, the tan hobnail dots are made over black material. You can see that on the unworn upper seat backs. So when the tan hobnails wear out, the black is exposed, and that's the black you're seeing...not dirt. They can't be "cleaned". The only cure is to replace the seat covers. Reproduction covers are available.

My brother bought a brand new 1979 trans am T/A6.6 WS6 with factory 4 speed white with gold bird camel color interior. Eight inch snow flake with gold inserts. The last of the 400cu big blocks . He wrecked it when it had about 30000 miles on it. Came from beamon Pontiac in Nashville. 😢. I always loved Pontiacs .@@KevinTurner-hr1wg

That horn has got the croup. If I remember correctly according to a hot rod magazine I read back in the day the 403 was an Oldsmobile motor that didn't perform as well as the 400 Pontiac motor because the 403 had more pollution controls that held it back. The 400 would bark the tires going from 1st to 2nd even though the transmissions of that time had more slippage than today's. Back then you'd get better mpg with a manual transmission nowadays the automatic often gets better mpg because of the improvements.

@timshannon6363 4 ай бұрын

The 403 would do the same thing, I worked on them for a living, and every other slow car from the seventies the lower compression was killer of hp in these cars but the big engines still had some torque

@grand73am Ай бұрын

The 403 didn't have more pollution controls than a 400. Both had EGR and cat converters. The Olds 403 had 185 hp and the Pontiac 400 had 220 hp. Plus in 79, the 400 came only with a 4 speed and with 3.23 rear gears. The 403's came standard with 2.41 highway gears. So with more HP and better rear gear ratio, the 400 was naturally going to be faster. But the 403 was still a good engine, with 320 ft/lb torque(same as the 400), and with a true dual exhaust without cats, and better rear gears, it will perform reliably. With some engine work to increase compression ratio, even better.

@robertwilliams3983 Ай бұрын

@grand73am that information came from one of the hot rod magazines of the day. They also claimed the 400 was faster. I never compared the 2 for myself

The biggest flaw on this car is the T/A 6.6 on the shaker for a 403 engine. That call out is for a Trans Am equiped with the Pontiac 400.

Where are all these Firebirds coming from? That's like the 5th one in 6 weeks. I don't miss mine, I had one back in the day. It was a cool car but it was a POS rattle trap, all the interior coming apart. Both inside door panels eventually came off. Door sag cause they were so long, never shut right unless you had gorilla arms. T-tops leaked like a sieve. All sorts of mechanical problems with the drive train. Mine had the whoppin 200hp turbocharged 301 4.9L V8. My best friend had the 68 with the 400HO. It was red and primer in most places but a much better car with Cragers and 50's. I eventually sold mine and got a 1970 with the 6.6l Sammy Hagar red. That car I do miss.

Not a TA 6.6 Pontiac engine, has to be the 403 Olds that should have 6.6 Litre on the shaker. In 1979 the TA 6.6 only came with a 4 speed, no automatics that only went in the Olds 403's

You can see sun through the t-top seal on passenger side .. that may be why floor undercarriage looks like it had something, maybe rust covered by sealant. Axle on passenger side has something wrong... lots of buildup on passenger side. Can't understand why someone takes ac off of a modern classic. I had a blue one same year and model .. same engine. It would smoke tires easily even with ac on. Overall for age nice car to restore.
