Its a nice Transam, alot of money invested into it im sure....What i dislike are the different gauges , the 8000 rpm tach, and 160 mph speedo were from the early 70,s, not original...still a beauty!!!
"Factory Horse Power" Then you go around and say more horse power due to upgrade? Are you running for office? or just too close to D.C.? You sound like a used cars salesmen in this video.
I had a carasel red 1976 Trans Am (in 1981). I wish I still had it, but now I want to buy one. They are hard to find. It also had honeycomb wheels. I would like to know if somebody comes across one. I don't have the time or knowledge to restore one, so it needs to be in decent condition.
Give it a few years, but if i got a 79 trans am, could I get it to this exact condition easily? ( not having to ship it across the world, btw I'm in aus). I would love it exact factory design but over the 30+ yrs it's been out theres probably no way possible. And could I ship a car to u to have it done up?
i have a 1978 trans am i going with silver paint and black emblems with black and gray interior, def. not going be a"show car" i dropped a 455 Buick stage 2 bored .40 over all built and cammed up, its going to be my hot rod lol. it'll still look nice but its gonna be fast as hell.
See, now this is what happens when Americans build the cars, they are amazing with the best build quality ever and not only last forever but are amazing to look at. What a shame they're all foreign now.
@OldestManInCanada I don't tend o like the older trans am's. I like the trans am's that were made during the 70's and the early 80's. And I wanna live where u are :(
Why, why, why do sellers of cars sometimes fail to mention a price? "Yeah folks, call us up and we'll dream of a price based on the kind of person we think you are."
Im SOOO jelous, i have a 1980 firebird but it has a considerable amount of rust and would cost me an arm and a leg to get it back to this kind of condition
Hey that guy's got a point, more for T/A fans than Jeff haha, only 77s and 81s were used in the Smokey and the Bandit movies,i know this well cause my dad has an 81' Turbo T/A he's looking to restore, it is a Special Edition car and he is hell bent on restoring it to stock to match the Bandit movies but here's where i get into the argument with him, it currently has tan interior and the 81' Bandit had black interior! haha, he just wont believe me for the life of him...
Hey bro...drop me a line if you really want a sweet 1979 PONTIAC SE 400/W72/WS6/Y84 .....and are willing to pay for it. I'd consider selling you mine. Silver Spring, MD
Wish i didnt have to get rid of my t-a's. They need restored '78 t-a 400bb, '80 turbo t-a with t-top, '81 turbo t-a. Cant afford to pay my storage bill so i'll probably lose all 3 in the next week or 2. :(
well i own a 1979 trans am... recently just bought a pontiac 400 to drop into it. has a new paint and new interior. i have gone to 4 car shows and won at least a trophy every time. they are truly spectacular cars and a blast to run. and about the whole engine thing, there are so many different ways you can go with a pontiac 400 as appose to a 403 olds. it is just so much harder to find parts for a 403. i am putting out 450 horse with my 400 and that is about perfect. of course not a stock engine
The 403 is a great engine. The bore and stroke is amazing. The bore is bigger then the 455. As for the windowed mains? Put a gridle on the mains and dont wind it to high. I myself am building a 403 to 450 hp with easy to find parts. A easy set up for 300 hp is slap some early 350 heads on and a new bump stick with a little bite and you got yourself easly 300 hp and not shure on the ft lbs. so many people over look it as a peformance engine but its easly better then the poncho 400
I own a 1980 Trans Am and family members have two more 2nd gen F-Bodies. Mine is absolute stock, runs amazingly well, and last test drive was at a sustained 120 at 3400 rpm. Awesome car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't that have a 6.6 that makes like 120 hp. I think the motor is a single bolt main too. Idk I love how that car looks but it performs soooooo bad. He is def going to ask way too much for it. oh sorry it's modded it prob has 125 hp in a 5,000 lb car. Fucking beautiful though.
O.k, i take it back, but how much did you ask? I was also wondering what condition you got the car in because in this video it looks really nice. There is NOTHING like a black muscle car, i just wish the '79 t/a had a motor like the older ones. But I guess the emissions in the U.S restricted that.
@carsbyjeff thats really cheap for that car in that condition. in that condition i wouldve of paid over $75000 for the car. but then again im probs never gonna get the car because over the years people will pay alot more for the car, and im only 14 :(
The factory 6.6 liter 400 cubic inch engine that the T/A's came with were rated at 220hp, not 120hp like you state, my friend!...where the f**k did you come up with this paltry number??...do your research on these muscle cars first before assuming & posting dumb shit!!!
185 . . . but with 320 pound-feet of torque at 2200 rpm. Bumping up the compression and adding a decent camshaft to either motor made a huge difference.
The Olds wasn't Half the engine the Pontiac 400 was.. The 400 came from the 326, 350,389, 400 and went all the way up to the 421 and the 455.. Remember ...pontiac had NO SMALL BLOCK! So when someone says, It's a Pontiac Big Block, ask them where the small block is?? The 400 was on the GTO, and the Firebird, and the Trans AM .. In the GTO it was REALLY SCARY...
The 400 has more extreme buidling potential as it doesn't have to deal with windowed main webs or siamesed cylinders. Also, it's a tall deck block. I understand perfectly that the Ram air II and IV and other Poncho engines engines were awesome. However, people overlook the 403. It's a great motor that doesn't take a lot of effort to make power with. With about 420 hp reliable at the crank from a mild build, I'd say my Olds 403 is easily more than half of the standard 400.
Comments below were posted as a reply to paintballer223 and TransamJC, but I couldn't post them under their comments, even when I posted them as a reply.
you must know a lot of people in the industry, do u know of any resto shops in the (dc/md/va) area that u would recommend? I heard about Eric's muscle cars in MD.
