Beautiful car. I remember in Indiana in about the year 2000 there was a red on red 79 4spd car for sale and it had some rust of course looked identical to this car except used and abused but all there. I remember we were appalled at the 3500 asking price lol. Wish I could go back in time and get that car with that price now lol.
Good god I'm in love...with the car of course gahhh if only I could afford one of these unfortunatly with this economy I am unable to find a job to get one of these magnificent cars
nice ride! you know these kids today are so brain washed by the fast & furious movie series that they have no respect for these old muscle cars and classics! They actually think that an 03 honda civic is a better quality car and under the impression that cars like that are going to out last good ole American Iron, boy are they in for a shock!
0:12 - 0:17 something which is very special in the states, is in Europe a common thing which all 17 years old newbies need to learn in driving school 😅. Awesome car love it.
I have looked @ the 2 TRANS-AM that you posted. Something amiss,look @ the angles of their STEERING WHEELS while you're driving STRAIGHT? I love the fully equipped BROWN 1. BAD-ASS.
@cossworth to answer your question pontiacs do not have a lack of torque. they have about 330 ft lbs of torque at 200 hp... and the torque curve is very good.
The 79 trans am with a 403 olds engine and a 4sp is very rare, there were only 1500 made, the 400 4sp is valuable to adrenaline junkies, the 403/4sp is not fast but rare.
@henshalldood you just gotta know where to look, i found just bought a 77 trans am for $800. it's got 54,000 original miles, it was advertised as a 403, but more research i found it's actually the TA 6.6L pontiac in place of the original 403. it needs some TLC, new door panels and new paint job but mechanically it is very sound!
I just picked up a (RUNNING) 1980 Formula (301, non-turbo / Auto) for $500... I have a 350TPI .040 over with a Tremec 5 speed, I cannot wait to drop in! This video makes me wanna jump on it quicker ha
The olds 403 will have the long oil filler neck in the front and the Pontiac 400 won't. The time I restored my 79 403 the 6.6L shaker decal was not available so I had T/A 6.6 that came with the Phoenix graphic kit. Put a mild Edelbrock cam& intake along with headers and ran a 14.5@99MPH at Texas Motorplex. Miss that car!
dude,i checked out your website,i like the 1970 Pontiac Formula Ram Air III 4 speed,my buddy used to have a 73 firebird formula 400,bad thing about he sold it to a younger kid and repainted to a non factory color,i hate that when ppl do that to muscle cars like if you seen on the over haul tv show.
@chev202 If this car is a factory 4spd it does have the 400. Only the 4spds in 79 got the 400. This is one of the 2917 made with them. I have one also.
sbc's are cheap to build and endless parts/ combos available. If you really want a good ride, go drive one with a healthy 400 pontiac engine. Mine runs circles around most sbc cars and only has hedders, 1969 Ram Air 4 "t" grind cam, a set of big valve heads from late 60's and a good carb. Talk about not spending much money...lol. Mid to high 7's all day long in the 8th mile.
If all original, low mileage, why is the steering wheel off center? That tells me someone has replaced tie rod ends, or a collision. As a buyer I would walk away because of that on a low mileage "original" car. So please do tell why is the wheel like that?

Beautiful car!
Thanks!
Gotta love those 4-speeds
The good days of simple😌🇺🇸 great video
Beautiful Trans-Am!! Thanks!
you have to love that buzzer!
Not to knock your car, but to call it all original and have the wrong year shaker(70-76 shaker) on it.... Yeah... You need the right shaker!
HANG the looks of the thing! It's The POWER That made them Special!
You're driving a big giant Halls cherry cough drop that's a nice car
Good god I'm in love...with the car of course gahhh if only I could afford one of these unfortunatly with this economy I am unable to find a job to get one of these magnificent cars
reminds me of HS great times.
Shouldn't rest your hand on the shifter, hard on the synchronizers.

I need that car 🤤

Anyone else notice how far the steering is off?
They probably fix the blinker switch and whoever put back the steering wheel didn't align it straight.
You got an awesome job mate! :D
need to adjust the steering hub.
You mean it needs a wheel alignment?
wow never thought i like a red ta but i must say its sharp
I have looked @ the 2 TRANS-AM that you posted. Something amiss,look @ the angles of their STEERING WHEELS while you're driving STRAIGHT? I love the fully equipped BROWN 1. BAD-ASS.
resting your arm on the shifter is a big no no makes my job fun though hahaha

Red's my favourite colour, but i think the '79 Trans Ams look better in black, personally

AWW nothing like that signature sound of a muncie transmission whining as you accelerate...

Both your trans ams look out of alignment?
@Blue04Z71 the 301 Pontiac"s got a 4 speed option also. It would be correct however to say only the 400s got the 4 speed. not the opposite.
Nice car. But it looks like it needs an alignment by the position of the steering wheel.
Not fond of the rear well ground effects, and judging by the steering wheel misalignment, that would need sorted. Very nice car though!
my aunt has the same 79 with straight pipes!!! dat fucker rumbles!!!
beautiful car but it needs to be aligned badly.
what's the value of such ride?
@chev202
If this car is a factory 4spd it does have the 400. Only the 4spds in 79 got the 400. This is one of the 2917 made with them. I have one also.
Blue04Z71 They more than that. Around 7500.
301 cars also had the 4 speed available, this car featured is 301powered.

2 people were looking for a smart car video.
Is he driving the entire time in a counter-clock-wise circle?
are you selling it?
1:07 wow.......
I hate the flares behind the wheels
been modified the rear wheel well ground effects arent original along with the 70-76 shaker scoope
MY ROD
Yeah the wrong shaker is the first thing i noticed. NOT correct. Nice car though.
I think it's ok in 4th, got no where to go.
If all original, low mileage, why is the steering wheel off center? That tells me someone has replaced tie rod ends, or a collision. As a buyer I would walk away because of that on a low mileage "original" car. So please do tell why is the wheel like that?
never was a fan of the 79-81 trans am front end its weird looking it looks like a clam shovel
nice car to bad ruined by those "foilers"
what about gasoline consumption
Red on red...yuck
I think it sounds like shit, my Daytona sounds way better....
