- Hey guys welcome to today's video. in today's video I just purchased this 1986 Pontiac firebird. let's get it washed up and detailed bring it back to the shop and see if we can get this 2.8 multi-port fuel injection motor running and driving.
This 1986 Pontiac Firebird could also be a great base for a Knight Rider Kitt car build. Leave your comments below if you would like to see this car get turned into a kit Knight Rider replica build of the original 1982 Pontiac Trans Am Kitt car from Knight Rider.

Where can i get that hat and jacket bro? Love it
That's my logo for my RUclips channel. I'm currently working on getting a Merch store attached and up and running for the channel. I'll definitely have it out soon.
Just up loaded a link to the Merch store I just added 👍🏻
I've got hats hoodies on there Monday I'll see what they have for Jackets to be added as well. Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏻
Thanks for restoring these great birds and putting them back on the road, where they belong 👍
No problem I had an awesome time working on this Firebird and getting it Up and running again. Next up for it metal work and paint looking to build a K.I.T.T car from this one
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I have the same 86 Firebird 2.8 manual transmission amongst my fleet of 3rd gen Firebirds and Camaros 👍
Oh nice that's awesome how many 3rd gens do you have? My 1st 3rd gen was an 83 Camaro I picked up In high school.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated

My first Camaro was a 1982 with a 4 cylinder 🙄😆
Ran really good but before you could get out on the highway you had to make sure that nobody was coming as far as you could see down the road 😆 if you seen somebody then you better wait until they go past you before pulling out on the highway. That was the slowest vehicle I have driven well my 29 modelAA was slower but not much 😆👍
I definitely would like to see this turned into KITT. Drop an LS1 or some other great small block in it as well!
100% definitely going to go with a Knight Rider build on this. I will have to Source the parts out and research some other kitt builds to find out exactly what I'm going to need for it. Should be a great build. 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated🙏 definitely going to need a LS swap something with more power for this car for sure
@@fullyloadedkustoms I can't wait to see the progress. I love your channel! Keep up the great work!
@@fullyloadedkustomsif it's the 305 get a good camshaft
Headers and some heads and you would be surprised how much more power you'd have
Roughly 400hp
That my plan with the 83 recaro edition I have
@@fullyloadedkustoms when you do will you share. I found a 86 in my area at a good price and wanted to turn it in to kit my self also
Glad to see another Firebird being saved. I love these cars.
A K.I.T.T. project is a must with this one!!!! looking forward to following the build!!!
@kennywhitaker3322 I would definitely like to build a kit car for the channel it would make for such a great time to build one. Haha pricey though from what I've seen researching the parts. It still would make an awesome build!
@kennywhitaker3322 thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I myself have 7 birds from 79 up till 01 so glad see you saving any bird I too hate see them get crushed or just disintegrated
Oh nice that's awesome I've definitely owned a few of these Firebirds and Trans Ams over the years. I'm looking forward to being able to put get this Firebirds painted and put back on the road👍🏻 owning 7 of them is sweet looks of nice cars over there I bet
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I had a 94 Formula that was British Racing Green and a Black 98 Trans Am, miss that car. I also had a 86 Fiero GT and 88 Fiero Formula with the same engine and another 86 Fiero GT with a 3.8 SC V6 in it.
Oh nice you definitely do not see too many Firebirds or Trans Ams in a green color that would have been cool to see. There's another car I don't see too many around of either is a Pontiac Fiero those are cool, the one guy around this area has one that was turned into a Lamborghini Countach kit car. It's still got the 2.8 V6 in it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Love the third gen firebirds. I currently own four third gens. All 1989s, two formula 305 hard tops,and two formula 350 t-tops. Three are Maui blue and one is black. Love these cars, very fun to cruise around in. Knight rider was how I got hooked on firebirds. I also own three fourth gens,98, 00 and an 02 WS6. 👍🇺🇸
Nice that's awesome all Same year too sweet my buddy Nick had a white 1989 Firebird Formula back in high school was a really sweet car lots of great memories there. That Maui Blue color is such a nice color if I paint this other then a Kitt car it's definitely going back to Maui Blue. That's awesome can't have to many Firebirds and Trans Ams 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
I'm a straight guy. I see "Knight Rider" I click the "thumb up" button :D
I had a ton of requests for a Knight Rider car when I posted up my last will it run video on the 91 Firebird. So I thought this 1986 Firebird would definitely be a great candidate for a kitt car. I'll just have to research into where I'm able to buy all the parts that I would need to be able to build this replica now.
Thanks for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms Can't wait for the results. Keep it posted :D
@@adrianfrankowski138 definitely I've got a few paint jobs lined up over the winter that I'm going to do. I should be able to put some money aside from those and hopefully get the parts I need to make this into a K.I.T.T car 👍🏻
Knight rider yes, as long as it has the sliding red light bumper!!
I've been trying to source parts for it here for the past couple of days. I've been able to find the bumper. Interior parts are looking like they're going to be a bit pricey ahha but gonna figure it out and get er built into KITT
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
3d printer
@traymoochris that's a good idea I never really considered a 3D printer before to be able to print the parts I need that would probably be pretty cost-effective too. Thanks for leaving that suggestion👍🏻
Yeah that's a good bird 😁
Yeah I am definitely happy I was able to pick this one up it's definitely going to make a great car for sure. Finish up some paint jobs here over the winter put some money aside and see if I can Source out all the parts I'll need to build a K.I.T.T car
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Beautiful !
Thanks I'm definitely looking forward to being able to restore another firebird. And a kit build would be a fun project for this one
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
NIce dash pad! it is pretty rare to see them in that good of condition! One thing to remember is that the reason GM didn't put the 350 in front of the T5 was because the cases would break under the torque. Another thing to keep in mind is that the 2.8 has a different bellhousing than a SBC, so you would have to find a 305 bell housing for it and then detune the 350 or grandpa it around to keep from grenading the T5. I put a LT1 style T56 behind a 2005 junkyard LQ4 in my 89 GTA and it is a wonderful combination- i would highly recommend going that route- I got the engine for $180 from Pick-a-Part and the trans for $1400 on ebay but the accessories and exhaust can eat your lunch if your not careful- need a LS1 intake and all the accessories, Hawks conversion headers, and a custom flywheel/clutch setup to get the older T56 to bolt up. You also need to cut a part of the bellhousing off the bottom to get the larger ring gear to fit. But Ive been romping on it for 2 years without issue.
Yeah it's definitely surprising to see them and not too bad of shape there's a couple small cracks on it but nowhere near as bad as some of the other ones I've seen. Perfect this is good information to know, I was definitely thinking I was going to need some V8 parts for that conversion to work properly. Yeah that definitely sounds like a good combo for sure I'll definitely have to put something good in this car once I get to that part. Give it some more power behind those Wheels.
Thanks again for watching and leaving the comments about what to look for in Transmission swaps and what I'll Need to do much appreciated for that information 👍🏻
She sounds great. I had 5 of these cars over a 5 year period. My favorite was the 89 Firebird Formula. I never had a Trans Am👍🏿😊
Oh nice that is awesome! what color was your 89 Firebird formula? I used to have a 83 Trans Am in high school that was Red/Grey lots of great memories in these 3rd gens
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments is greatly appreciated 👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms YEAH! Sounds dope! I had a white with the bottom quarters red striping and dark grey around the bottom. She was my baby.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Your welcome bro.✌🏾
@jarmelo2006 yeah it was a fun car to hava. Nice that's awesome, it reminds me of my buddy Nick's white 89 formula he had in high school. Awesome cars to have look they look great 👍🏻
I love the way you make this bad boy breathing again some hope to be back on the road.
Same here I'm really glad I was able to pick this Firebird up and get it running and driving again. It's definitely going to need a little bit more power behind those Wheels now to turn it into a Knight Rider Kitt car.
Thanks for saving another 3rd gen. I had a 87 with the 2.8. Fixed up the front suspension, did a tune up and serviced the transmission. It was no muscle car with that tiny V6, but it handled great and would bury the needle on the speedometer. Miss that car.
For sure no problem I have plans to hopefully save another three of them here this summer too. Oh nice that's sweet what color was your 87?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
What a great video, that blue color is killer, can't wait to see what you do with it.👍👍👍👍
Thanks really appreciate that. Yeah that's what I was saying too the blue color underneath was such a nice color I don't know why somebody would go and rattle can paint over top of a color like that it's a shame. But it's definitely going to make a really good Knight Rider Kitt car replica build
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Pontiac made some cool cars
100% Pontiac definitely made some cool cars they've got a lot of my favorite muscle cars that's for sure would also love to get a hold of a Pontiac GTO Judge
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms I like the Fiero and the 5th gen Grand Am because it’s a mix of the Trans Am and the Grand Prix.
Those old 2.8s had distinctive sound, i always liked.
Yeah that 2.8L actually has a really nice sound to it and from my knowledge, it's a stock muffler on there too and it's sounding that good
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I grew up in the late '80s and early '90s. The sound of that V6 engine brings back lots of memories when so many GM cars of that era used the same engine and made that exact sound
Awesome, I used to have a 1983 Camaro sports coupe in high school it also had the V6 definitely brought back a lot of memories. For a V6 it definitely sounds pretty good too.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
One thing to remember the spark plug cables and on Pontiac firebirds trip engine error codes by dealer cables yes 200.00 sounds like a lot but they won't crack and cause arcing
Oh really I didn't know that that's something to remember, I'm definitely pretty sure I will be pulling this 2.8 and putting in either a 350 or a 383 would be really nice
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
nicely done🎉 its nice car need some love to get back to the road so powerful❤
It's definitely going to be a sweet car to get back on the road. Definitely looking forward to rebuilding this Firebird. Would love to get a 383 stroker for it and get some serious horsepower under that hood too
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated🙏
@@fullyloadedkustoms I follow you. I love your style and the way you work. I learned many things from you. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Yes, you can. I will follow up on all updates on this car
@omar_Mukhtar thank you I appreciate that welcome to the channel. I will be doing full restore and rebuilds on the two Firebirds and the Chevy pickup truck that are in my shop right now. Those who make some fun videos for the channel coming up 👍🏻 should have another video out this week too
Hopefully he will get that 86 bird back to the beautiful blue it was. Wow! What a find, that body style was the best for the Bird!!
That Maui blue color that was originally on this Firebird is such a nice blue I can't believe that somebody would take a rattle can and paint over top of it definitely a waste. If I paint this car and don't do a Kitt Build on it, it's definitely going back to that original maui blue color
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
👍👍👍🏆🏆🏆THIS FIREBIRD IS DEFINITELY A 💎 IN THE ROUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Yeah this Firebird is definitely going to make a great project car I'm looking forward to the chance to get to rebuild it. I really liked that original Maui blue color that was originally on the car. It would have looked really nice on that car before someone rattle can painted it black.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
4th season Kitt is about $20k+ in parts. It’s what I’m trying with my 91 formula. Can’t wait to see it.
Oh damn really 20K in parts that's wild I didn't think it was going to be that much haha I thought Maybe if it was sent into a body shop etc. Going to have to get some extra work going here and flip some cars to save up. Where's the best place to get parts for K.I.T.T ?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Knight industries of Kentucky is a good one in the USA. There are a couple out of Italy, but one is a con artist. There is also one from England and another from Finland.
I personally would love to see it restored to it's original blue, and keep it stock. I always liked that blue paint job.
Yeah that Medium blue Maui color is such a nice blue metallic. I can't believe that someone took of can of rattle can black and painted over top of such a nice color. If I go back original it's definitely going back to that blue paint job looks soo good. It also has an original dealership decal on the back bumper I found after blasting away some of that black at the car wash haha. Cool to know it's originally from this town
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
What a great find on a good running driving firebird!! Yes a Kitt car would be great. Watched knight rider as a kid and always wanted a firebird. Maybe one day..
Definitely was a really good find on this one. Glad I came across it while I was out doing my internet installs. Ended up getting this for $500 pretty much sight unseen. It's going to make a great candidate for a K.I.T.T knight Rider car.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I love it.. I had an 86 with the 2.8 and 5 speed manual, was my favorite car I owned as a young man.. I always wanted to put a supercharger on the 2.8 because honestly, it was the toughest, most reliable little engine.. I drove the piss out of it… and other than a water pump once, it never left me stranded. I’d love to find another one myself… do it justice!!! ☺️ as for the 91, was never a fan of those noses… it would make a great KITT clone.
Nice that's right on what color was the 86 Firebird that you had? I have been hearing that from a lot of people that these 2.8 L v6s were really reliable. I used to have an 83 camaro sports coupe and it had the 2.8 V6 carburetor motor definitely put some serious miles on that car. If I do not do a kit build on this car I would love to paint it back to that original Maui blue color I think would look really great on it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Great car thank you for listed video brings back childhood dream car memories
Awesome I'm happy to hear this, I can't wait to get started on these 3rd gen Firebirds and Camaros. Get them rebuilt and back on the road again.
good job,.... keep going... kit car would be fun to watch happen....
Hey thanks I really appreciate that. I think a KITT car would definitely make for a really fun project. I've been able to pick up some of the 82 Trans Am parts already for it. Just need a source of some of the KITT specific parts for the car. And start saving for the build 👍🏻
And a kitt car would be awesome, great video, Yeee😃
I had a ton of requests for a Knight Rider Kitt car build on the 91 Firebird Revival video. Definitely thinking that this 86 will make a great kitt Knight Rider replica build. Should be a lot of fun I just have to source and find all the parts I need for it now over the next little while.
@@fullyloadedkustoms I agree👍
I have a firebird with a 2.8L like yours and I have always enjoyed it just the way it is. You have others with a bigger engine. Just bring that one back to life fully with the engine you have in it. The problem you are developing is that you are collecting lots of cars but none are done and if you continue to proceed like this, none will be done. Bring one all the way back with nice seats, nice paint, so you have at least one car you can show off and drive everywhere then move onto the next one.
Oh exactly I definitely have to work on one and get it finished, haha I just keep coming across these cars for a very low value lol. This one was $500 Canadian for example. So with the low price I'll pick them up so they're there for a future build. Just like yesterday came across an 86 Iroc Z for $600 Canadian. I'm currently working on the 80 Scottsdale Start to finish once that's done. I'll pull in one of the 3rd gens to get started on
Me and my dad are actually dropping in the new 700R4 into the blue 91 Firebird today. My plans while I had the Scottsdale in the garage was to drive the 91 as is. To car shows and put the will it run sign out front of the car. So the people can see that it's a RUclips Will It Run car. And have the video to watch on it. Thought it would be cool and next season I'll have it painted for shows
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Kitt will be an awesome project 👍
Yeah Kitt would be a fun project to do. I was thinking about using this one here although I am looking at picking up I think it's an 82/83 Trans Am. And that one would also be a good base for thr car too already have the hood/Bumper taillights etx and V8. Needs to totally be redone but I'm definitely thinking one needs to be turned into a kitt for sure. Just need to Source out the parts put some money aside from these paint jobs I'll be doing over the winter.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
A KITT car would definitely be cool. I would love to see it. Maybe an ls swap, true duals, long tubes
Yeah a K.I.T.T build would definitely be fun. I've got a few paint jobs over the winter to do. Put some money aside from those and Source out the parts for this build. True duals would be sweet, they made it so tight on these cars to get the duals but it can definitely be done
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments greatly appreciated thanks
Love it, that V6 sounds sweet !! You're so lucky coming across all these 3rd Gens !
Yeah I was surprised that V6 actually sounds pretty decent. I'm pretty fortunate that I've been doing Rural internet installs for the 7 years I've come across tons of classic cars down back roads that no one else knows about. Got this one for a pretty good deal picked this up for $500 without the keys pretty much sight unseen other then the back bumper.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated🙏
@@fullyloadedkustoms They do sound really good for a V6. My '88 Firebird has a 2.8 too. BEst sounding 6 cylinder I've ever heard
@nicksspeedshop8664 yeah definitely it has a really great sound for a V6 and as far as I'm aware that's even the stock muffler on there too.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Yeah mine has the stock muffler still too. Its great for what it is, for cruising its more than good enough. I might get a aftermarket muffler eventually but I can't afford a V8 swap over here. I think I commented before, just a 20 y/o from europe. The prices are hell over here sadly
i have 4 -1984 ,3- 1985, and 5 -1986 firebirds , great cars to fix up and seeing yours here is nice to see as well , great video awsome thanks for sharing
Thanks, that's awesome 👍🏻 definitely can't have too many 3rd gen Firebirds. They are definitely great cars to fix up they're easily affordable. The parts are affordable for them. And they also draw lots of attention when they're out cruising. And lots of people have great memories of these cars too.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments is greatly appreciated👍🏻
I miss my 1986 Firebird that I got in the late 90's, my ex got her in the devorce.
Oh that's too bad she ended up with the firebird what color was your Firebird you had? Hopefully you get the chance to enjoy another one👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Yeah it was upsetting. this was back in 1999 and I only paid $1,200 and it was in great shape inside and out. It was either let her have that or my first new car that I bought, which was a Plymouth Neon. I didn't want to give her the new car, because I could always get a Trans Am or Firebird. I really would like to get my hands on a 1982 Trans Am. You're welcome, and i will be watching more of your videos. @@fullyloadedkustoms
Turn it into a K.I.T.T. car! That would look so good!
Yeah that's what I definitely love to do I found the turbo style wheels for it recently just waiting to hear a reply on Facebook Marketplace. And it was just out picking up a Trans Am turbo hood for it today.
I had a 2 tone (Black/Silver ) V6 bird same year and also automatic.. was just a great little cruiser
Also, just notices your in Edmonton .. I’m in GP!
Oh nice that's sweet, those 3rd gens made great cruisers haha I know I put tons of KM on my 83 Camaro back in high school drove that car all over Ontario.
Oh nice that's not far from me at all. I'm just a few hours northeast of Edmonton in the Lakeland area.
Awesome find my friend 😎 I remember cruising in my buddies firebird. Keep up the good work .I'm diggin your channel.🇺🇸
Same here my buddy Nick used to have a white 89 Formula Firebird back in High School. Tons of great memories cruising around in these 3rd gens. I used to have a 1983 Camaro sports coupe in High school too. What color was your buddies firebird?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Would love to see a K.I.T.T. Car made from this ‘86 Firebird. Interested in how to deal with the manual transmission since K.I.T.T. was an automatic. Still love that show! Thanks for posting!!
Yeah I agree it would definitely make for a great Kitt Build. I was thinking about swapping out the V6 manual/ 2.8L engine for a V8 combo give it some more horsepower it deserves
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
My parents had a couple chevy celebrities that had this same 2.8liter with the Multi Port Fuel Injection, they had pretty respectable power for their displacement and as others have said, that exhaust note is just awesome! Wish I could get the 3.8 in my 96 RS to sound like that!
Yeah exactly I was surprised too it's been a while since I've heard one of these but for a V6 it definitely sounds really good especially with it being only a stock muffler on there too.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I currently own a 95 4th gen got to be good friends with a wrecking yard in the States and I stumbled across an 89 XS firebird 2.8 funny thing is it ran and the only 600 bucks got all my forward gears except reverse so I'm going to try to change the fluid but thanks for all the info on these third genes I really appreciate it
Oh nice that is sweet what color is your 95? The black Firebird I just picked up I was able to get for $500. Hopefully a fluid and filter change will get you all ready for the road again. Sometimes it's all needs to get going again
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments on the channel it's greatly appreciated
So glad I found your channel. No one does 3rd gen firebird revival videos! Every time I look up videos on my 84 T/A its always Camaro Camaro Camaro 😂. Hope you keep the firebird videos coming 👍
I'll have more 3rd gen Firebird/Trans Am videos coming out. I'll have a paint series on this one and the 1991 Firebird I did a Revival on too. I'll also have a pair 84/86 Trans Ams to pick up in the spring as well I'll do a Revival and a full rebuild on
Great stuff! When I was a young man I loved Trans Ams, owned an 80 turbo (blew motor twice lol) and an 89 Formula 350 (blew motor also!) Going through mid-life so maybe someday can I'll get another!
Oh nice that's awesome what color was your Trans Ams? And Firebird? You know there's no better time to pick up another Trans Am or Firebird gotta get out and enjoy a cruise it's a good idea 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Trans Am was a rare copper decal delete (I believe) and Formula was black. Really loved both. You are most certainly welcome for likes and comments, your content is assuredly appreciated! @@fullyloadedkustoms
Best of luck with your KITT project!!!
Thanks I appreciate that. I had a lot of requests on my 91 Firebird Revival video for a K.I.T.T car. This one will definitely make a great candidate for the Knight Rider car.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
We have a 1990 Pontiac firebird 3.1, a longer stroke version of the 2.8. it's a 4 speed automatic with overdrive and the color is white, my grandparents bought it Brand new and even today it still looks brand new. Everything is original, we have had issues with the engine of stalling/starting and rough idle issues from time to time but when fixed it runs good. And it will remain in the family for many years to come, I've always loved this generation firebird. Something about the style always catched my eye. Idk i feel like you should fix this up and keep it stock, I'm sure many people will disagree and will probably tell me it needs a v8. But i feel this v6 engine is kinda a unique engine, it may not be as reliable or as fast as the v8 but for what it is it's decent, and gets pretty good mpg on long drives if it runs properly.
That's awesome that yous still have that Firebird in your family especially after all the years that's so cool. If I do fix them up and go with something othwr then a kit car. I would definitely love to paint it back to that orginal Maui Blue color that was on the color I'm sure that looks really good. The 2.8V6 from what I've heard in the comments is pretty much a bullet proof engine
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Awsome! I'd restore the car and leave the drivetrain alone! Those V6 engines were great motors. This will make a great cruiser.
Yeah that's what a few people have been telling me now that those 2.8 liters were pretty much bulletproof engines and get you anywhere. Like you said it would probably definitely make a great Cruiser definitely be a lot easier on the fuel there too. And surprising enough for a V6 it sounds really good. I'm thinking that it actually sounds better than the 83 Camaro I just picked up lol
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Man I wish I could find me a car like that I love those old cars but the one I would like to have is 78 trans am
Yeah I'm pretty fortunate I've come across a ton of classic cars while I've been out doing my internet installations over the last few years I know where there is a lot of them haha. There's one 77/ 78 Trans Am I know of and a 77/78 Firebird that I would love to eventually pick up to redo. Can't remember if the Trans Am had a motor or not. The Firebird didnt either one would be a sweet Car to build. The first car I ever painted was my 79 Trans Am. So definitely like seeing these Trans Ams/Firebirds put back on the road.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms I really enjoy your videos and love how you get these old cars running again I’m a subscriber
@jessieleonard8398 thanks I greatly appreciate that welcome to the channel 👍🏻 I can't wait to paint on these cars. I plan to do a full start to finish series on each of the vehicles I get going. I plan to take them from not running to running and driving, stripping them down, repainting them, and getting them put back on the road. The 1980 Scottsdale truck I recently got running and driving after 26 years, I've got stripped down in my shop right now getting it ready for metal and body work.
@jessieleonard8398 when I grow my channel big enough I would really like to travel around and help subscribers with their classics get them running and driving painted and put back on the road would be cool to be able to do for people
Making this a KITT on the outside would be amazing, I think you'd need the KITT nose (there are a few different ones depending on which season nose you are going for, the YT channel Knight Rider Historians has a video on that), the rear bumper, the hood, and the taillights. You got the correct rear spoiler already and the Firebird is a good base for it as it doesn't have that bulky looking body kit that '85+ Trans Ams have.
I've been able to Source a good place for the front bumper for a K.I.T.T build. Also picked up a set of tail lights and a bumper that were off in 82 Firebird in the Pick-n-Pull. Just need to find a Trans Am Hood front fenders and those style rally rims. For the exterior of the vehicle paint and body work for me is not a problem I do all that. It looks like the hardest aspect would be tracking down all the interior components of the car for a build.
@@fullyloadedkustoms The question is if you really want to make a complete conversion with interior parts - especially if they are supposed to work properly. It certainly looks cool, but its usefulness regarding driving the car is debatable :D.
Sup man glad to be back for the videos I would love to see a kitt car dang man wish I had one
KITT would definitely be a fun build. I've got a few paint jobs I'm doing over the winter time. I should be able to put some money aside from those and source out the parts within the next couple months see what I can find for a K.I.T.T build.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
What will you be left with after all of the work? I bought a fully documented 88 GTA from the original owner 15 years ago. It had 46k original miles. It has 74k now. Alwyas garaged 1988-2008 in the original owners garage and 2008 to current in mine. Always kept running. Never had junk stuffed in it. Never left outside in the elements. The reason I say is that rhe only 3rd gen worth anything is the GTA, Formula 350 or Firehawk. Maybe I'm doing something wrong by not restoring mine. Your channel is really inspiring and your enthusiasm is contagious. Rock on brother!
Oh nice that's sweet what color is your 88 gta? That's awesome to be able to have purchased that off the original owner of the car. Definitely sounds like you got a good Trans Am there.
Oh yeah like for example this one is just a standard minimal option 2.8 V6 Firebird. For me I enjoy rebuilding and restoring any kind of car it doesn't have to be numbers matching or high value I just like the process of being able to to build and restore something give it a second chance and get it back on the road
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated🙏
Mine is black on tan leather. It's an Upstate NY car and even though it hasn't been driven in the winter and been garaged, it's fallen victim to the elements anyway. It had the bad primer so the paint was in pretty bad shape in 08. I have a receipt from the dealer when the paint first started chipping off of the car in the first year. The dealer said it was acid rain causing it. Who knew car dealers weren't honest.?
That would be so cool to turn it into a kitt car
Yeah that's what I was thinking it would make a really cool Kitt car build. I had a lot of requests and suggestions on the 91 Firebird Revival video to turn the blue 91 into a kit car. So I'm thinking this one right here would make a perfect candidate for that build
the that 86, to a kitt is the best thing for that car, that engine sound great though, 👍
Exactly that's why I'm thinking too it would make an awesome kitt car Replica. Yeah it was really surprising how good that V6 was sounding. I'm thinking it sounds better than the 83 z28 Camaro I just picked up
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Aweome mate, would love to see the KITT car!
Same here A kitt build would be sweet to have for the channel, would make for such a great paint series
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I'll never be tired of admiring the lines of this car. Of course KITT is a legend but even the basic car looks friggin good when restored.
This one seems in rough shape... Still, good luck working on it.
It's definitely going to be a pretty fun build. I'll have no problems getting the exterior of the car put together. It Might be a bit harder trying to find some of the Interior components. I've already gone ahead and grab some 82 Trans Am parts for it already. And I've recently just found the front bumper for it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
This is a car I think you should show off what you can do with the air brushing go crazy and show us what is in your imagination I'd love to see it
Thanks I definitely need to like lose and do some customization with the airbrush on a vehicle. Definitely would be really sweet to go all out custom painted on something maybe this one.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I have a white plain jane 87 Firebird bone stock with the 2.8 MPI V6 and a 1980, I love both Generations. The belt squealing on this V6 can be epic....Lol!
Oh nice that's awesome my buddy had a 1989 Firebird that was white back in high school. That's sweet to have a second gen and a third gen. I'm working on getting a 2nd as well. Just so happens to be the first car I ever painted my 1979 Trans Am was just listed for sale in Saskatchewan. Yeah those v6s I've been hearing I really really good Reliable Motors. And this one sounds really good too
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Awsome save those third gen need to be save i own a few of them over the years i have a 85 firebird s/e since 2012 and i love it !!
Continue your good work
100% agreed got to save these 3rd gens rebuild them put them back on the road and give them a new life. That's awesome that's the Red one in the profile picture? Looks good 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Yes its the red one
And its plesure to Watch your Channel 🤟
@jaysgarage6011 nice I used to have a 1983 Trans Am in high school that was Red/Grey was the 1st 3rd gen Trans Am that I owned love those cars lots of awesome memories. Thanks I greatly appreciate that 🙏
Definitely a Kitt project car! 👍
Yeah it would definitely make for a great K.I.T.T project definitely give some new life this Firebird
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated. Also have a great Christmas
The 2.8L with a manual would be a great daily driver. Cheap and simple to keep running, and good fuel mileage if it's in good tune.
Long time ago I was looking at getting a Fiero, and one day an 86 Firebird 2.8L (automatic) was set out for sale in the middle of my daily drive. I stopped to look at it, and I was tempted. I always liked 3rdgens. It almost seemed like fate, but I decided against following up on it. I've always wondered if I should have. I wish I could have bought both.
I definitely want to see this turned into a kitcar
Yeah I definitely had a ton of requests on my 91 Firebird Revival for a K.I.T.T car build. This one will be perfect, just have to Source the parts and figure out a budget for it and work towards it to make it happen.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments much appreciated
Nice video I had an 1982 trans am good times with it 😀 I got really nervous😮 when you dropped the car jack stands in sand be careful 😅
Yeah these firebird and Trans Ams have definitely brought back some good memories. Haha yeah it's on a packed down driveway. I definitely made sure it was stable before going underneath that haha.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Hey what's up Bro ? Like the New Project Car 👏🙏👍 can't wait to see what you do too it and if you do turn it into a Kitt Car that would be awesome and I also have the original Kitt Scanner Light that goes in front of the car if you are interested in buying it ?
I would definitely like to turn this into a K.I.T.T car, I'll definitely have to Source the parts out for it and see how much a build would roughly cost. Have to do a few more paint jobs and maybe flip some cars one person told me it might be around 20K for the parts needed for build. When I get the funds to go ahead with it though I will definitely need that 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated.
@fullyloadedkustoms your Welcome Bro 🙏 👍 anytime
K.I.T.T. car build? (Grabs popcorn and soda) Hell yeah!!!
It would definitely make a great K.I.T.T build just need to source all the special parts I need for it and see figure out a build budget on it. If I do a K.I.T.T build then I'm definitely going to have to get another Firebird and Make a K.A.R.R. build as well.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated

You got me wanting to find a old Fior Camaro. Im in Florida and just retired and need a project. From what I see you can buy one for reasonably priced
Yeah they're super affordable priced like this one here I picked up for $500. They are affordable to purchase not crqzy expensive for the parts you may needs like this for example. new quarter panels are like $225 each, fenders are like $150. Full interior kits to replace the stock seat covers the door panels headliner carpet are around $800. That's what I've sourced out and that's in Canadian dollars. A car like this one that's in this kind of shape I can totally redo and repaint etc. for around $2500 Canadian. To bring it back to an orginal shape. That's quarter panels, floor panels that are needed, tail lights etc new interior. Body work material Paints primer /base coat/clear coat etc. I do all the work myself so it saves a great deal not taking it to a shop And also swapping out to a V8/700R4 I've found 350/700R4 combos on Facebook market place for around $500-$800 for a running driving combination.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
I hope you're able to find yourself a Camaro or Firebird project down there in Florida 👍🏻
You almost need a donor car to save the 86 with all the cancer and desire to do a motor swap. I've been messing with the f-body cars for over 30 years. Nine of my parts/projects I have parked around my workshop are 3rd gens, seven are 4th gens, and one is a 2nd gen. I round out the rest of the collection with three 57 chevy bel airs, a 85 K10, and a 68 Merc Cyclone GT. God only knows what will come and go from my collection day by day! Nice channel you got here and good luck with the 86 and 91 Birds!
Yeah the panels are definitely rusted on this one pretty good. I'm glad that I'm able to get the panels that are pretty decent price through Classic Industries. Should be able to cut and weld some new ones in no problem all the dents etc on the doors I can pull and hammer and dolly.
That's sweet can't have to many 3rd gens, these are getting popular again they were alot of peoples high school cars or first cars. And now are looking to get them back. Those 57 chevys are slick cars so much style in those. Mercury Cyclone there's a rare car I've only ever seen one of them out of all the car shows I've been to and like the last 15 years only came across one. Thanks I appreciate that 🙏
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms Yeah, I hear ya! At least for now you can still get quarter panels for third gens. You are right that the third gens are growing in value. I just sold an 89 GTA that was a daily driver quality I put together for 6k a few months ago. Took some of that money and grabbed a rare 88 GTA notchback project and a 92 GTA project (with a dealer installed SLP performance pack) to play with. The Cyclone is so rare that they don't offer many aftermarket repair parts for it, so I'm stuck trying to track down other dead 68-69 Cyclones or Montego's for parts since it's sister the Ford Torino does not interchange.
@notyourtypicalchad6778 yeah exactly good thing you can get a bunch of parts for the third gens. But they're definitely going up in the value and a lot of people are seeking them out now I noticed. Oh that's sweet a notchback is pretty rare you don't see those around too often they made a small limit of those ones.
@@fullyloadedkustoms I believe they only made 716 factory notchback GTA's in 1988 and a very very few early 89 models got one. They are indeed rare, but the Holy Grails are those 89 Turbo Trans Ams you have to have a fat wallet for and the very limited production 91-92 Firehawk Formulas(think less than 14 3rd gen Firehawks were made? Could be wrong).
You are like a Firebird hunter 😀👍
Definitely, I've been hunting down these 3rd gens. Great easy car to work on, and the parts are readily available for them and affordable too. Looking forward to restoring these cars getting them painted and put back on the road.
Fantastic 👍🏼👍🏼
Well ill be dipped!

Hey thanks I appreciate that. I'm looking forward to getting started on the Knight Rider project. Would be cool to make. A movie car Replica
Another brilliant video I would like to see it rebuilt to a bone stock show car
Thanks much appreciated. That original Maui blue color that's underneath that rattle can black paint would make for a beautiful color on this car. If I were to go back to the stock color on it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
that would make an awesome kitt
I definitely think it would make it really cool KITT Build. I've already gone ahead and sourced out some parts I'll need for it ive got the rear bumper and the tail lights. And also already have found a front bumper cover for as well
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I'd say leave it in, that way it's stock. I miss my 91, but one day I'll have another :D
If I do go back to stock I will definitely 100% be painting it that Medium blue Maui color such a nice color can't believe someone rattle can painted it black. Nice would you be looking to pick up another 91 firebird?
Pretty cool video ! Keep up the good work ! ✌

Awesome job, what I'd give to see a firebird parked on a driveway whilst doing my rounds 😂
Thanks much appreciated, haha I always duck down the back alleys of these small towns when I'm out doing my installs I usually find some classics that have been parked and forgotten about or the people have lost interest in. And they are more then willing to make a few bucks by letting them go.

Lmao Rob 😂 when you first showed the video I thought it was right hand drive car 😂😂 don’t know how ya did it but it went back on the proper side cool Camara trix 👍
Oh hahhaa yeah I use my cell phone to record and make the videos, so it wasn't edited properly to fix the recording from the front camaro hahah, I don't know how many people though my 91 firebird was a right hand drive 😅 😄 I've got that fixed up in the new videos now lol.

I have all sorts of ideas for that car I have built it in my head for years, it would be cool to be left stock , but I remember not much power but I had so much fun, idea idea I almost made made happen was a bought a i think it was a 86 Camaro running and driving v 6 , black nice car just dirty, and was trying to get a wreaked iroc but this guy wanted a lot for his iroc , I was going to put all the iroc engine, transmission, etc, in the 2.8 Camaro and keep it stock looking, but in didn’t happen, 🙂, love these cars Yeee 😃😃😃😃
That's awesome I will definitely have to pick up another one and build a sleeper vehicle out of it where it looks like it's a stock either Sport coupe Camaro or a stock firebird and just have like a 454 or something crazy under the hood would make for a sweet build too. It's a lot of fun working on these cars because they're very affordable to get all the parts needed to build one.

@roycervantes1341 definitely, I like working on these 3rd gen Firebird/Camaros/Trans Am they definitely bring back a ton of memories from when I was in high school
Dude you are so right. You cannot have too many 3rd gen camaros or firebirds
100% can't have too many 3rd gens they're definitely great cars and from a lot of the comments that I've been getting on the videos people have lots of great memories in these and a lot of people had these cars back in high school just like I did.

I have an 83 camaro i put a lq4 6.0 into. I highly recommend it, lol. It's about to get a t56 to replace the 4l65e. Even a stock 6.0 in these cars makes them get down.
Awesome I will definitely have to remember that. It would be nice to to put something with a little more power and get up and go under the hood of the Camaro.

@@fullyloadedkustoms amazing, will be watching to see what happens to it ,and the blue one is probably my favorite, because I had a beautiful 91 with aero/ ground affects, T tops and black interior, awesome car , haunts me today
Hey Rob, great video, not sure the v6 manual will directly drop in on the TBI, the V8 and v6 transmission are different ( bellhousing are different i think) i thought i seen a senor on the dash, that tells me its been changed to 90-92 pad the 86 didnt have auto headlights but a decent car for sure.
Hey thanks I really appreciate that. Yeah I was just reading online a few nights ago actually that the transmissions for the V6 were slightly different even the 700 R4 models that bolted up to the V6 models were all so different as well. The guy I purchased the car from road down on the bill of sale 1986 Firebird I didn't think too much of it I thought maybe someone just changed out the back hatch that's why the third tail light wasn't there. But after I got a couple comments in the comments section I double check the VIN number in this car is actually a 1988 Firebird

If you end-up selling it, I'll be waiting to see a pricetag on a KITT/Car. We could use another-one in the GTA/Ontario!
out of rhe 3 cars I'm definitely going to build and sell two so I can roll that back into the channel to grow. I will definitely have something posted when I do.

Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's greatly appreciated
If this is an 86 model, someone put a 87-90 rear hatch on it, and a 88-89 steering wheel.
No it's actually an 88, the guy signed the bill of sale as 1986 I figured someone probably just put another hatch on it that's why it didn't have the brake light didn't think anything of it until the other day when I was going through the VIN. After some one else made a comment and I thought maybe I should double check that vin haha.

Yup turn it into a kit car but make it faster and better
Well whatddayaknow! A fellow Albertan! Yee Haa! Great stuff!By the way that "Paint" on that Bord might not be actual paint. I bought an older BMW a few years back and it was white but it looked like it was sliver underneath. I started to just pressure wash it and it peeled like that one did. Then I found out it was something called "Plasti Dip". Which if put on with a thick coat can be peeled off in sheets or if put on badly (Thin) you can get it off with WD-40 yes that's right WD-40 and a plastic paint scraper and it will come off in gooey gobs. Check it out.
Nice what area of Alberta are you from? Yeah this is definitely rattle can paint that's on this car. Would have been nice if I got lucky and it was the Plasti Dip and I could have peeled it right off haha that would have been great the blue paint was clearly not prepped at all LOL. Car wash took a good amount of that paint off haha
Would make a lovely K.I.T.T replica car or K.A.R.R
Yeah that's definitely what I'm thinking is it's going to make a fantastic KITT replica just need to research all the parts I would need to build that car now. It'll definitely need a little bit more power behind those Wheels there too.
Thanks for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
lol, the 2.8 was on of the few motors where I'd take EFI over carb. The carb those came with was the most godawful Frankenstein's monster I've ever seen. 😂
Yeah it definitely needs an upgrade under that hood would love to be able to get a 383 stroker for it that would make a fun car.
Thanks for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
For being a little 2.8 it actually sounds good lol.
Yeah it was definitely surprising for being only a V6 and actually has a really good sound to it I was not expecting that especially with the stock Muffler haha. I just picked up a 83 Z28 Camaro I wanna say that this V6 Firebird actually has a better sound to it lol
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
350 or 383... whichever you can get in a good shape. Then, once done, I would totally sell it to my neighbor if I were you! 😅
Hahah well hey there is an idea. This one would definitely make it great K.I.T.T build. Just have to Source the parts I need for it. And then work towards it to make it happen 👍🏻 and then once it's built see if the neighbors interested in buying a Knight Rider car.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
How much did you buy it for if its ok to ask? Im about to buy an 85 TA. Its a manual with a 350, headers and cam (supposedly, not crazy of things where I dont know what was done). Its rough but body is straight, little rust. T tops that dont seem to leak. No key....but its 500 bucks, and if I can crank it and start it, might be able to skoot quick home. Its like .8 miles away from me lol.
What drives me nuts though, that the car was red, but repainted this dark blue. Who does that? lol
@RipRoaringGarage for this Firebird I paid $500 Canadian, I usually try and find the really good deals for these cars for the channel. $500 for that 85 TA to me sounds like an awesome deal. And to replace the key cylinder on those isn't hard at all. Especially if it's a non VATS car and you don't have to deal with a vehicle anti theft system, makes it quick and easy to change out I think a new ignition key and cylinder is like $35 good luck on the TA
@@RipRoaringGarage thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms Thanks. Im enjoying watching the cars. Out here there are very, very few classics left like this. I bought everything in my area lol. A 96 XJ (though that was from Craigslist, so cheating lol), a Grand Marqius thats now a daily driver from around the corner, and this. Would have had it by now if he didnt forget the title. But, hes going to get a key made. Not sure how...trial an error? His buddy is a locksmith. He initially wanted 1000, and I negotiated it down to 500, plus he gives me a key. How, dontcare lol. I think the trunk is a round key right? Or is it the same key like the glovebox? The small key?
Its been almost 30 years since I owned an 80s F body so I dont remember, and my brain is going to 70s Fords, where the glovebox key and trunk key are the same oval keys.
just came across your channel and subscribed here in the UK. i love firebirds. Def need to make a kitt Car! the 86 would be perferct! also the bird you have at the end and i think on your hat? where Could i get a decal like that?
Thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel. Yeah a kitt car qpupd would be a fun build. That's my channel Logo for Fully Loaded Kustoms. It's a nod to the first car i ever painted my 79 Trans Am. I will have a Merch store set up soon that I will connect to my channel when the website is all finished up 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
thanks for the reply! ill take a look at your previous vids. i must say the 79 transam sounds amazing, as i love the bandit transam on a 77. one day ill own one hehe. but i do love a kitt replica and black is def the colour for this car. i look foward to seeing what you do. as soon as the merch shop is open ill be getting me something for sure. (im subscribed to twin sticks, not sure you know him, but hes just finished a snowman KW and will be doing a transam too!) thanks fella, keep those vids coming!
@antwilliams2253 @antwilliams2253 yeah I definitely wouldn't mind finding that Trans Am again and getting to repaint it and build it the way I wanted to build it. Now that I fully know how. It would definitely be a fun project to do. I've also got an idea to build a replica of my 83 Camaro I had back in high school that got me into airbrushing. It had a classic flame paint job on it and I would love to redo that vehicle as well. A 77 Bandit Trans Am would be awesome to have. I know where there is one sitting I might have to go pick that up and do it will it run on it and get that restored too if the owner is interested in selling it. No I've heard of twin sticks garage I think my brother mentioned it because he's also located in Alberta too. That's again for leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated I tried to reply to every comment I get 👍🏻
sounds awesome! Id def be knocking their door and getting that 77! if they dont sell, just take it man! 🤣 look foward to the show! thanks again
What engine is in that? Is it a 4.3 or smaller? The last 4 Chevys I have owned had the 4.3 and I swear by them for reliability and torch. I had a 80s Firebird that had the 2.8 but it just didn't have any power.
So this 86 Firebird this one had the 2.8L multiport fuel injection engine in it, I had a 83 Camaro back in high school and it had the V6 2.8L carbureted motor in it. They definitely don't have to much power maybe around 130HP at best. But from what I've been reading apparently those 2.8 Motors are pretty Bulletproof and really reliable
Kitt car would be very nice
Definitely that's what I'm thinking too a KITT would make a awesome build.

Tree fiddy for sure. Maybe even a tune port?

Should have tried the other bird key in the ignition…. Ya never know .. the trunk key from my 81 firebird also worked on my 68 Camaro…. Lol
You know I actually have heard of this before some of the older GM keys once they're worn out they tend to work on other cars haha. I still have the lock cylinder in the console maybe I should go through some extra GM keys I've got kicking around here see if anything works on it before I order a new one.
