MUSCLE CARS AND BLONDES.....BEST COMBINATION EVER

[@jeffscott8323]

And beer

[@bigmanblackt-shirt8506]

From what I could make out, the white one has 8" Snowflakes, which, if original, means it has the WS6 handling package. It has a Pontiac engine but I couldn't tell if it has painted or silver metal valve covers, so dunno if it's L78 400 or W72 400. It has Fisher t-tops, 78 interior door panels, and 78 lattice style grills.

[@mstover2809]

Glad to see someone that knows a thing or two about these cars. I had a white 1977 Base Model with the 6.6 Litre motor. Came with the Rally II wheels. I put 7" snowflakes on the front and 8" ones on the back. My '77 had the hexagon shaped grill opening. When the motor died, my brother and I put a T/A 6.6 motor in it.

[@jimmygr720]

Looking at the round air filter snorkel tells you it is a L78. A W72 would be square. 🙂

[@mstover2809]

Gorgeous. I've used the tire clean solution at the car wash for vehicles this nasty from sitting. Spray it on and let it soak a few minutes and the gunk just comes right off easy.

[@thomasbalzano2429]

Nice to see two more saved have my 74 and 77 since new still so much fun

[@bigmanblackt-shirt8506]

The bondo, black, and grey T/A has the 1977 honeycomb grills and what might be American t-tops, or they might be Hurst. Either way, a couple of nice finds. Please do followup videos and reveal engine details on both and whether the bondo one is a 77 or 78, and about its t-tops too!

Cool cars. Need more of the blonde! 😁

Just picked up a 81 turbo trans am project. Had an engine fire 20 years ago. Someone started to fix it and lost interest. It’s a Daytona 500 pace car too! 👍 It’s good to see others getting saved.

[@AC1984]

What a find , great project

[@stuartb9323]

Nice find ! I should talk to your buddy at that shop. I have a ton of parts, and a few cars left from back in the day. At one time, I had 22 parts TA's up here in the N.E. That was when they were cheap! Those 77-78 TA's have a huge following. Yep...they're still out there

I'm a proud owner of a 94 Pontiac Trans that's heavily modified with a 383 stroker LT1 with a D1SC procharger at 15 lbs of boost. I'll never sell it. I've been building this car for 5years. I call it my project trans am. The only thing stock is the body and interior. Street and strip and car meets and car shows with it. The Pontiac Trans am iin my opinion is the hottest sport's car ever built... Congrats to Pontiac... They did a hell of job with body looks... 👍🤙🇺🇲

[@kennypool]

I graduated automotive HS in 1975 got a job with Pontiac in the get ready shop. We installed the radios, defrosters, alarms , vinyl tops. Detailed the card and delivered them to the dealership about 3 miles away. I drove more 455 trans am cars than you can count. And they were so poorly but together, parts missing, I'm talking real crappy construction. But they sure looked good. Anyway in 1988 I bought a black fully loaded TA with the screaming chicken and everything. Guess what, it was garbage, burned rubber ok looked good, but the repair receipts were very high. I traded it in for a Honda civic in 91. Life is good 😊

[@paulrodgers5559]

Yeah , it's sickening , the way the Boobtube , movie fan community gashes on about this heap of shit model.

[@edfred6166]

SCREAMING CHICKEN??You obviously should not own 1 and i am glad you drive a CIVIC NOW

[@lydiapawlak8564]

They should have a 1970-73 Trans-Am white with Tan leather interior, or a Blue one with Black interior. Love those honeycomb wheels on those year models. Most beautiful car in those years...

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

I had a Formula like that Red one and a 77 Bandit 6.6, plus an 82 Recaro T/A partscar for my 83' 500hp stroker and a 89 V6 I was going to rebuild years ago. The 83 and my friends 70 Challenger are shredding tires in my 96' VHS Burnouts & Boobs

[@jjjww975]

@@Devon_Lewis - good to know - hopefully is she in a safe place and respected. I have had my 1992 Firebird since it was new. Looks just as new, of course it's not perfect. It's more of a "war-bird" that has gotten me everywhere early on in my career (Army & LE Officer). Those birds you've restored are fantastic. My family always had Firebirds as I grew up. My female cousins had them - my dad. They are the best in the pony car realm - too bad they don't make them anymore. I have 230,000 miles on mine - with alot of care & maintenance. Of course I don't drive it all over like I used to! HA !! Mine is as original state as any -best condition. I think my 1992 is best one out there at the moment. It's just the coupe. At 21 when I got it I couldn't afford the extra insurance cost of having a V8 ! Well - take care of that young lady! & keep restoring those birds!!!

People call these "Bandit" Trans Am's but Pontiac did not make such a thing. And, it was a black SE model used in the movies and these cars are not black. That being said, super nice find!

[@Devon_Lewis]

That’s why I said “ the bandit style” it’s the same car just black. Every time I’ve ever heard anybody talk about these cars it’s not the “73 Trans Am” it’s “ya that’s the bandit style trans am” because everyone knows what body style that is

I'm curious how they will clean up. My sisters dad has the white one that's been in his garage for almost 30 years. I was over there a couple years ago and it's still in there under a cover in the garage. And I know its low mileage. He used to pull it out and wash it and pull it right back in the garage once a year when I was a kid.
