Very cool, nice someone in UK appreciates these cars. What I usually see are the Top Gear guys thumbing their noses at American muscle cars. Nice treat.
Hey i preffer the 79' myself, and it seems to me the 79-81s are more expensive than the 77-78s even though there were more made in 79' sooo
anyways, i bet the British are scared to death of this car LOL, i so wanna take a muscle car like this to Europe and see how freaked out everyone gets when they see this loud evil american muscle car in their mirror xD
The 78 trans am is hands down my fave car, my dad used to have identical car only it was a 1978 TA y88 i think it had the 6.6 turbo for an engine and he said it would fly lol, and handle really well. someday im gunna buy him one and were gunna restore it =)
@Rbkkid350 They never made a 6.6 turbo, 77-78 was the Pontiac 400 in all cars, 79 had the 400 in manual and the Olds 403 in auto, 80-81 had many options including the Chevy 305, Pontiac 301, and a Turbocharged version of the Pontiac 301, so maybe your dad had an 80 or 81 Turbo T/A? haha
My dad has one too actually, he has a Bandit Edition 81' Turbo T/A, its an amazing car, these cars are 80 times better in person than they are in videos and pictures, and in pictures they're to die for so, damn!
@Ratmouth66 you are right my friend his was an auto 403 olds, good motor. he bought the 78 when it was two years old for around 7 grand, it was the most amazing car he said hes ever driven, they are for me the nicest looking car on the road. dad told me he drove that car the way they did in the bandit movie hahaaa everytime i watch it i think of him in that car lol.
@Ratmouth66 you are right my friend his was an auto 403 olds from a 79 trans am, the origional 400 got blown due to the previous owner running the engine low on oil, dad said the 403 was just as good. he bought the 78 when it was two years old for around 7 grand, it was the most amazing car he said hes ever driven, they are for me the nicest looking car on the road. dad told me he drove that car the way they did in the bandit movie hahaaa everytime i watch it i think of him in that car lol.
I love to see American muscle in the UK. Do your neighbors think you're crazy to have a car with a 6.6 liter engine? They probably all drive Twingos. LOL
I saw one just like this at the Seminole smoke shop in Hollywood, Fl. Risked my life and limb to get pictures of it. The owner was like seven feet tall. I call this car Golden Boy.
That is a stunner guys, well done, keep it that way! did he give you the keys back??? where abouts you lot from? i have a 1991 Trans Am GTA, very quick, and very handsome.
Hi i have a 1978 white trans am, restoring it as it was broken into once in garage when my dad left it there for ten years. its interior and brakes need doing. yours is nice though. our paint works still perfect. were near chelmsford in essex.
Nice car mate. TOO bad it just cost you about 2 pounds to pull it in and out of your driveway. It cost me about $20 every time I take mine out for a spin. Nothing like the sound of a Pontiac 6.6!
Hi, the car is Stock, as rolled out of factory. As we are magnaflow dealers in UK I am going to put a magnaflow 3" system with x pipe and only 1 silencer per pipe, I will change the headers but still confused as to what header brand I should go with, what to you recommend???
I went with the Hedman Shorty headers for clearance under the car, but for full length headers the Doug's headers are the way to go fit is great. I bought my shorty's from Butler Performance they are online check them out.
nice car it could probaly beat my Nissan Primera 2.5 v6 twinpipe SRi 1990 Sounds Shit Though I would like to race this thing one day........ ......it would probaly beat mines its probaly got 250hp my ride only has 225
You also have to consider the torque on these cars, they almost double their horse power ratings. Just something to think about when you hammer one of these beasts.
You lucky guy, man you will be the envy nice to know that there are more people with great taste. this car will be hitting the shows again after a 3 year wait, you will find it on profusion customs, a one stop custom shop near heathrow. meanwhile visit my other site, fixmymileage dot com
Hi, i imported it after paying 17K for it and then held my breath when it turned up at my house, the seller was a gem totally genuine, keep up your passion for a great car, check out my other site, fixmymileage dot com
