  1. You put all that work into it, top shelf motor, full suspension and brakes, yet you bolted all those beautiful parts into a grease covered under carriage. Shameful to do all that work and not even give the underside a high pressure wash. I do it out of my garage and I'm not sponsored with a giant studio. Just saying

  2. That is not a chicken on the hood scream a chicken you listen to whatever other people say don't you get away from the car before you crash it look up what that bird is on the hood it's not a hog it's not an eagle can you get Google it buddy Google it I've been around Pontiac since I was 3 years old let me guess you're in a Chevy engine in it and make it go slow you want to take that big engine out and put a little 350 Chevy in there huh okay Chrome dome

  3. 2:08 That's not a '69 Trans Am, you can tell by the front bumper. It is either a '67 or '68 Firebird as it has the smaller headlights within the grill silhouette whereas the '69 had headlights entirely separated from the grill. Also 1969 was the first year of the Trans Am so its most likely that its a Firebird 400 as the was the model with the largest motor for the first 2 years.

  4. I’m not sure where the mix-up occurred, but that red Trans Am looks like it could be a ‘77 instead of a ‘78. It’s obviously been repainted at some point, but the grille assemblies are the ‘77 style. Maybe it was wrecked at some point? That’s my guess.

  5. トランザムV8.1978カッコイイ最高サウンド最高、好きだよ❤️大好き😍💓💓美しい,サイコ🔥🔥🔥ほしいい、カッコイイV8最高

  6. My heart broke when they said the new paint job would be the black and gold from Smokey and the Bandit. I would repaint it in the original red with a black interior.

  7. I just got a 84 Trans Am 15th anniversary complete except for the windshield it needs a engine transmission driveshaft but it came with title for 500 bucks game with everything else brand new decals for it no rust still have good tires on it factory wheels anniversary edition Wheels and All Electronics still working it is except the radio

  8. had one in high school, my dad's buddy helped me build it. bored it 20 over, some head work, a aggressive cam, a 750 carb and it ran like a scalded dog. I busted 455, 396, 454 383 strokers and they all thought I had nitrous. Pontiac 400 with cast numbers were stout engines that you could get low 12's no problem
