@OldboySaint whats terrible about that? plenty of torque and fun as hell to drive but if that isn't enough you can always buy the bandit edition from year one it will rape any modern pos.
its obvious someone made this..but they did a good job, i dont understand why people state obvious facts by saying "fake!"...just appreciate it for what it is
The audio is from a earlier commercial. In 1978 there was no cold air intake. Those tire didnt come on a 78 firebird. They would have a model driving the car not a middle aged man with a recieding hair line. Also it wouldnt have real plates on the car. The audio is from an old commercial. The video is recent. It is not a real commercial.
The audio is from the '70 Firebird commercial. There was definitely no Ram Air option in 1978 and that year's Formula could be ordered with either the 301 or the two 400s from the Trans Am in 49 states - in California the engines were a Chevy 305 or Olds 403.
The 1978 Firebird ad featured a Firebird logo going up in flames and revealing a Trans Am,. And that year's slogan was "1978, Pontiac's Best Year Yet"
This does not look like a commercial from that time period. Look closely at the closeup of the side emblem and you'll see some dirt around it. also some slight blemishes on the paint you can see around it on the door and slightly above the front fender. Also the guy has somewhat short hair, is driving with one hand like he is taking a leasurely drive rather than with both hands, driving a sports car. and the picture is jittery. This is a freaking FAKE !!!! made today !!!!
@PFB92 I noticed the tripod at :37-:39, the boots (or something) behind the driver's seat at :06-:08, the Elvis / Skeletor keychain at :10, The fact that the close up and pullout on the tire at :18 shows a scuffed, dirty letter tire along with the shadow of someone's head at the bottom of the frame, the misaligned trunk at :22, and the finale of the rust coming through under the emblem at the close... other than that, well done man! :-)
...and no, this was not an official Pontiac commercial... note the cheap ass home movie tripod out the pass window behind the car at :37-:39. Not to mention the totally lame, less than car buying settings and scenery. A well cut together amateur piece just the same, but a "real" ad? ummmm, no.
@mjmcg Wow, and what great intellect (you probably don't know what the word is) skills too you have. I see 5th grade was a challenge for you. I'm impressed that you even know how to get on a computer. They made them that easy these days that a jackass like you can get on them? I guess soo.
No cd player in that car...those slots you're seeing are for the levers that controlled the heating and vents.
However had Pontiac done wind tunnel testing, they'd have learned that those scoops sit well below the 4 to 6 inches of dead air directly above the front of the hood... wasn't any air going anywhere through those scoops no matter how many time you "ordered" it LOL!
@pdennis93 I have looked at every frame of this vid and all I see is (at :11) the two horizontal slots of the heater panel with the cig lighter immediately to their right, and at the spot you mention I don't see anything definitive, other than the presence of the original twin knobbed AM/FM cassette deck just above the little useless cutout for tossing change into at the head of the center console above the shift lever. I have all but stood on my head and used x-ray glasses, I see no CD player.
you're looking too high. the stereo is down below the main part of the dash. there are no knobs on the deck. its definately a newer aftermarket cd player
@pdennis93 My eyes must be seeing something different. In the space where the radio goes, I see a deck that looks to have some sort of knob on the left side and a cassette tape sticking about 1/2" out of the top middle. It's too unclear to identify it. I'll bet the poster didn't expect to get this much mileage out of this video! LOL! Oh well, whatever it turns out to be, I'm actually done caring at this point. Time to move on.
i see what your saying about the knob. it looks like it's got 4 buttons rather than a knob. just because it has a knob does not make it modern. my 95 trans am has a jvc mp3 player from 2006 and it's got a knob on the left side for volume still.
THIS THE REAL COMMERCIAL ALL 70'S PONTIAC'S CAME OUT DELCO AM/FM 8-TRACK STEREO WELL INTO THE EARLY 80'S OF THAT WAS AN OPTION AM/FM STEREO WAS A STAMDARD WHEN THE 81 THRU CAME OUT THE NOW AM/FM CASSETTE WAS A STANDARD
It obviously isn't a commercial not for strange eagle-eyed spots but simply because a) the smile in the description give it away and b) well, something very obvious such as THE PLATE. It's not that difficult! However it's a very nice car
I just watched a 1970 Firebird commercial, where the narrarator says.."Pontiac intruduces the begining of tommorrow..." just like he says in this commercial here. Whats up with that????
Nice fake commercial, by the plates you see its from Potsdam/Germany.
But good made. Next time change plates.
