i got a 4 row radiator and a different thermostat car was running hot withthe bigger motor.
the high beams look stupid with the hid lights so i ordered the headlight housings for the high beams but will just run with the hid not gas charged bulbs for the high beams. not much more to go now.
I am surprised at how good those numbers are, most I read were way worse. Its too bad about those days, when they stoped advertising HP numbers becuase how low they were compared to early 70's.
Man i love this car, actually im currently on a personal life quest to get a 79' T/A with 4-speed and 400 block, i wouldnt mind it being an anniversery or not, in fact i'd preffer black with red interior if i could find one but id take any one sent my way haha
BEAUTIFUL! I had a 1980 Turbo with a built up and transplanted 73 455 Poncho. 13 secs flat in the 1/4 but MAN did that thing use some gas and put out some fumes. XD
These are the best looking TAs that Pontiac made IMO.
My dad and I are working on restoring one now. The poor car was in a field, unprotected, undriven, uncared-for.. for 15 years at least. Rusty as hell, brakes shot, and with wasps living on the underside, too. Unfortunately, we weren't able to save the "shag carpet" due to plenty of water damage, though I don't think I would prefer to have that even if it had been salvageable. The hood-bird is almost entirely gone, too, but we're going to fix that as well.
Wow! That thing is in nice shape. I test drove one of these in the late 80's. Very rare...only 7500 produced and only 1800ish of them were 4spd. Also,I think the first year for the delco ETR.
thats a bad ass ride, my grandmother had one since it came out of the showroom in the 70s. I dont't remember much because she died when I was real young, and my uncle sold the car, but all I remember was it was fucking LOUD
beautiful car....my dad just restored one of these.....but lose the stereo.....its a fucking muscle car. what are you going to listen to thats more bad ass than that exhaust .....i mean....really
i love these cars had a 1978 ws6 should have never sold it 20 years ago,have never liked any car i ve had since including my 1972 454 ls5 4 speed vette,2001 rag top mustang g.t and presently a mint condition iroc z with a mega horsepower 383 stroker,they re all nice but long live the t/a 6.6
I hear what your saying, I sold my 79 back in december '08, but am now in the process of buying it back.........for 2000 more than what he paid. love makes you do stupid things lol
Well im putting a 79 T/A with a 400 on the road in november as my daily driver so i'll let you guys know. Manual should help with gas mileage if I can keep my foot out of the firewall! :D
You are probably right mate. These cars are about incredible styling, Awesome luxury features, the BeeGee's, great handling and great driving satisfaction! If you can get your Aston out of the repair shop long enough
maybe you can find one of these awesome Pontiacs to race.
@fashizzle369 shut the hell up. This is better than anything you drive buddy. This is a great piece of American history. I sincerely hope you die a fucking painful death.
thats a nice radio in the stock spot, what kind is it?
