Like people are commenting. I'm 60 years old now. We got these cars for dirt cheap in the late 70's early 80's. Thanks for the memories. 🙂
@Life Is Poetic be Stoic heard that! #1) 67-Pontiac formula bird all stock,except hooker headers 400engine 4-barrel Hurst 4spd. Hood tach. all the fun stuff one would need to blow off most of the competition- oh ya first car $500- wish I kept it! 2/- 87 Pontiac Firebird Formula- 350 TPI like the IROC’s , totaled it in Nova Scotia 1st month owning(financially)
Lost that
one. Oh but what fun! Thanks @57
Yup, they were throw away cars back then. Junk basically
Traded with buddies. Always had something “ new to me “
@@jeffnpatricia ✊🏼
A new car for around 3k. Those were the days
How can anyone NOT be a fan of Maple Motors??? . . Pure American Patriot dealership! Awesome hotrods!
74 Formula, TA dash, 73 nose, 76 rear bump. Better with Orig Pon400&4gear. Very nice Camero😎
73-74 had the same front end, at least my 74 Formula did. Good catch on the Dash though. Formula had wood grain and my TAs all had metal turned dashes. Regardless, this car is set up very nice! 😎
74&75 had a black rubber 2" protective bumper that I use t9 armor all shine, I'm not trying to criticize as good parts are hard to come by $❤
Should have kept it all Pontiac. I hate when people put Chevy engines in other GM’s.
That TA looks like it's going a Million Miles an Hour when it's sitting still. Such a beautiful ride!
Its not a trans am, its a formula firebird
That was a badass TA. I think you were having fun driving this guy lol. You sure do have a good gig driving all those nice cars. I’m a Trans-Am, Camaro, Firebird fan myself
Who ever built that car poured their heart into it. Most likely they needed the money and had to sell it.
I would jump on this particular car. It’s done right!
Idk the hood cut out. Ruined it for me
Agreed! The hood “thingy” not my cup of tea…. :(
Agreed
I agree
It's for air flow induction
@@Fvcky0uverymuch I thought it was to collect the winter air for the tires
In 1969, back from my jungle trip, i purchased a1969 Mach One, 428, 4 speed, shaker hood. $4,200 OUT THE DOOR!!!!! Bought it with saved up COMBAT PAY.
You really do a thorough walk around. Would feel you are fairly honest and that’s hard if not impossible to find in this business. Keep up the good work. Nice ride!
First with no price must be north of 50, or want to keep it lol
I doubt he'd want to keep that car it's about 3 or 4 different years
No it’s just on hold, I do really like it tho. Car is a blast but I just bought another so I can’t right now lol. It was $28k
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate That sounds about right. The ones I like for the right price goes quick. Liked the 68 firebird too just wrong timing lol
Anyone else notice, a price was never disclosed on this vehicle? Not here, on the lot video or the windshield. I'll guess this was claimed well before it left, and the videos were "eye candy" for the public. One note, is the torque converter is too tight for that cam! Hence the banging when put in gear.
Man what a sweet ride. Love the fact he just said f it and cut the hood out instead of getting a huge hood scoop. Sounds great too.
That hood is a Formula 400
the front end is a 1973 , Trans am with a formula 400 hood
Man, that thing is a beast. Very nice!
Very nice ride Nick, appreciate your videos. Always look forward to them. My girl said i am obsessed with your channel and i watch it too much,she said make a choice,her or your videos. Man i had her stuff packed up in 20 minutes flat. 😂 Be safe on those test rides.😎
I'm addicted as well!! I fall in love on a daily basis!!! Drool a lot too! Homer Simpson style!
@@PaulRhodes420 😂😂 I feel ya bro. I do the same especially with the Chevelles,Nova's and Camaro's. But i like all the muscle cars,each manufacturers have their good and bad.
You made the right call bro!
@@fitfogey Yes sir, thanks for the support. Have a good one.
I'd just went .60 over and then stroked her to 502, Dish the pistons for boost, if that way it would be 685 to 725 (estimation) as it is with that 460... I'm sure it's over 600.
If you got hit by a rock at 200 mph you might have a chip as well lol 😝
Absolutely love this car. I see sale pending, really wish I could get this!
Thanks for sharing a cool ride and sounds! I personally don't like anything besides a shaker scoop sticking through the hood, but to each their own.
I've always loved the bullnose front of these Firebirds the style and aerodynamic...... shape and the forward facing hood Scoops such a lovely look in a rear view mirror 😃😄👍 the cut outs on the hood I'd have added some aftermarket hood vents than have the hood cut in the way it was done it has runied the look of this (1970s ....Pontiac Firebird ) also noticed the 1974 Firebird did not have this front nose cone it would have had the sloping version this front nose cone came from a earlier Firebird
Could have clocked the procharger differently and added a Trans-am scoop to cover the carb hat and it wouldn't be so ugly! Cool car though!
@@chriskilroy540 here here I agree totally or could have made a hood scoop with vents around this Eddie numpty spaghetti seems jealous saying the early Firebirds sucked it's clear this fool has no clue or knowledge of these 70s muscle cars .........lol clearly this fool knows nothing about the Firebird wonder what this fool drive's a hairdryer car or a 3 wheeler reliant 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
The 1st2nd gens. We’re sexy for Pontiac birds,you know why Pontiac went out of biz. don’t y’all
Someone builds every one of these cars....why cant they EVER get a goddamn front end alignment done. Jeez
that hood scoop looks like it came from a Pontiac formula 400 !.
I had a '74 Trans Am in my high school days, it was a 400 4spd car when I got it but got my hands on a rare 428 Pontiac and made a swap. The front header panel on this car is off of a '70-'73, I do prefer that front look to the '74-'81. It really draws attention to the car at first glance with the '74 Formula 400 hood. Great video Nick, really sweet ride.
same motor , might as well put in a 455 tripower
1974-1981is the nascar nose
@@winteroutside7014 455's were a dime a dozen and most you will find are low compression post 1970 model, 428's were not and try to find one now is almost impossible. It worked great for me in 1984 as a high school kid, '68 model 428 already had good compression and heads so change the cam and valve springs better intake and carb headers and better ignition system (Mallory back then) and got street racing.
@@charlestoole1789 how does your car fare against a tesla , hmm ?
@@charlestoole1789 cool story bro but ile bet i can beat you in a fist fight
You All Know back in the 50s 60s 70s and the 80s some muscle cars were slow and some were fast and now today in 2022 all muscle cars are fast like this one 😎
Beautiful Trans Am in great shape and that engine purrs nice love it 👍
I am not a General Motors Man but I love this car. The sound of the super charger kicking in is just shit hot. I fricken love it.
put a cummins into it
I was a fan of you guys quite a while back. You offer hot rods at reasonable prices. Unlike the RIPOFF auction houses. The way it SHOULD be!
Thank you
That's my favorite front end of any muscle car. I love the grille and headlights. Not a fan of the Ram Air scoops though.
Isnt it a 1973 ???
@@kencrisp2588 yeah my thoughts exactly there's a lot of odd things on this car
@@kencrisp2588 They probably put a 70-73 front clip on it.
I don't think He ever said it was all original He's probably going by the title or Vin number, that's how you tell what year a car is
Thats the best looking front end on any T/A.
Its a 1973 front end, I believe its a 1973 much better looking than the 1974 plus Trans Ams only had the single hood scoop in the middle of the hood I know its a 73 I had 2 of them plus its not a Trans Am hood. but its sweet
the 1972 has the honeycomb grille
Nice trans am ,love the body style that's my era, super fast 👍good video Nick, from monroe North Carolina and you know its fast when it makes a grown man giggle 😂😁
sorry that's a 72 or 73 body with a 76 or 77 rear bumper.
For the under carriage, can you say save and a hair cut 2 bits. Thanks Nick GREAT VID !!
My first car in 1980 was a beautiful Verdant green, white interior, white vinyl top, '73 Grand Prix with 400 4BBL and dual exhaust that Dad bought new. I'll always love the Poncho's.
yup . I had a RA4 GTO. Uncle had an SJ model 72 prix. Another uncle was the last factory Pontiac sponsored drag racer, ran the Wicked Wanda T/A.
1974??? that's a 71-73 Firebird front clip.. and a mid 76-78 rear bumper, no fender vents??
do we really know what the year is?? look up a 1974 Trans Am it looks nothing like it,
considering the tach reading, It's just a Firebird. I've owned a 1974 and 1975 Trans Am 400/455HO both 4spd and that's not one of them bro..
What a beautiful ride, I had a 75 350 4 speed 👍 I couldn't imagine 454 WOW 💪👍 Nick sweet ride 🔥
Trans Ams never came with a 350 cubic inch. Pontiac never made a 350,,
Pontiac make a 350 what are you talking about
@@nimrodrebirth7703 Never in a Trans Am, only optioned in a Firebird, in 1968 was the first known as the L76 350 HO. *very rare" then again as base model firebirds starting in 1970. In 1970-1976 Trans Am's had the 400/455/HO(SD) motors. 1977 had 350,305 Chevy and Ponty motors in the Firebird, and 403 only for Trans Am's.. point being, Pontiac never made a 350 for the Trans Am.
Beautiful T/A. These second gens are prone to cracking at the sail panels, especially on high torque cars.
How much$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!
That a 70 to 73 bull nose on a 74 body Kinda looks like a firebird marriage 🤣
My dad (from Hendersonville) bought a 1967 Firebird convertible in 1968, 326 automatic, all original, matching numbers, meticulously restored. I grew up with that car (I was 6 when he bought it in '68)... I love old Firebirds and prefer the factory originals but... the supercharged 454 sounds really sweet... makes for one fast bird.
Nice 👍 I loved that ‘67 I had at 16 first car $500- no lie rusted out not many regulations for earlier rusted out vehicles then came mid seventies- wha-wha-wha
That’s too bad whoever built it could have engineered under the hood a little better so I didn’t stick up like that
I couldn’t agree more! I got my LS with mid rise intake with cog drive F1A pro charger to fit under my stock 70 chevelle hood. It took sometime to fab but better than bulging out or cutting a perfectly good hood.
dude I didnt get an Alert to buy that Supercharged Trans AM? what gives. Min 10 looks like the cops have had you on their radar for a while. Must be a snitch or informant in the neighborhood. Dont be naive and think the cops just happen to pass by and saw you, nah, they have had you and the dealership on their watch list, not for nefARIOUS REASONS BUT to make sure your in check. Its part fo this nationwide soft harassmant,
If I was a car guy I’d definitely buy one from you. Thanks for another great video
Appreciate the video, probably owned the majority of the Mopars you have sold over the years since high school. I would love to find another '71 Duster, my favorite, among others. I may have to buy another one from ya, maybe even sell you a couple in restoration process. Thanks again!
I did not see this one, but WING DING LETS GO FOR A REAL RIDE !!!
That is one sick street machine. The steering pull to the left. Try swapping the left front wheel to the right and see what happens. It could be the tire cord starting to separate.
Nice paint job. I don't think it's a 74, maybe a 73. Need to see the VIN. Too bad the hood was butchered up. I have a 74 Firebird 350 with functional forward scoops and RamAir air filter housing.
I keep coming back to this one... it's not a bird... it's an angry bull shark...
Doesn't look like a Trans Am to me. It's a Firebird Formula. Has the Formula hood, no wheel spats, no front spoiler no fender vents either. 70-73 Front End too.
Pass anything but a gas station ! lol.🤣
I’m looking for a 1968 judge with 3500 horsepower under the hood . Can you help me find one or build up one ?
Thank you Mark Fischer
Hey you wanna buy this car we have been running the crap out of? The turbo put alot of stress on the motor that's why I like to give it the beans and sell it.
Sure did and sold it as well. Thanks for watching tho
@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate Well that's what everyone does with a vehicle that's road hard and put away wet. I'm just jealous you guys get to have fun and then turn it for a profit. Keep living life with the pedal down!
My favorite generation of Trans Am. I remember Ponch having one on CHIPS and it would get stolen or blown up.
Also not a 74 front end , has a 70 - 73. 70 to 74 had small back window , 75 up has big window. 70 to 73 had chrome back bumber , and that back bumber is not a 74.
That car don't pull to the left it just wants to drive in the fast lane
I don't like the hood cuts totally ruins the look of the Firebird front end ........ I'd come up with a better way ie some hood mods
That thing is Frankenstein’d. Looks like a 70-73 Formula front clip and rear bumper looks like a 76 and later. I had a ‘74 Firebird with a built SBC. Pontiac guys hated me.
Yep, that ain’t a 74 front. Fast though.
It’s a nice mod as the ‘70-‘73 front end is way better looking than the fugly sloped nose on the ‘74 and later.
My thoughts exactly. More like a platypus - nose and tail don't match the body. I'd like to see the OEM paperwork as there's nothing T/A on it body or interior wise. No front air-dam, no front fender air holes, dash is Formula optioned spec, missing T/A options. Manual windows... My guess is a Formula was the bases of the build.
Love what they did with the exhaust piping underneath and the beefy rear traction bars. Not a Pontiac engine but that Chevy is a solid engine and easy to find parts for.
And I actually preferred my "Shovel head" 74 front end with the rubber bumbers. They were great for knocking shopping carts and road blocks out of the way...😉
74 and back to 70 had the small rear window...no one caught that in my read of comments, but you are right. The nose isnt right cause its on 76 up fenders to match the shell and they wont bolt tight on newer fenders. Said the fenders were cut out,but its the metal inner fenders are just missing. Still...I know Id drive it just as much as my 2000 real ram air with 54,000 miles!! (also procharged and lovin it!!)
That nose cone is from a 70-73 the rest may be 74 though, nice car love muscle cars
No price? Guessing it sold after he made the video so he put it up anyway.
On hold but yes pretty much a done deal
Hey man I LOVE your channel! Please keep it coming and I'll be coming to get a fast car $oon!
That was a great video . Almost got the phone awesome ride
Just love that car absolutely love it! I’ll be calling you today to try to buy it! Might help if I knew the price first! LMAO
This car has a 73 front end, Formula hood & is no evidence of being a Trans Am, who knows what this thing is.
muscle cars for muscle-heads
Hooked on these Maple Motors videos, I'm gonna get one im sure but every time i find one i like another one comes out i like better now im thinking if i buy one I'll have nothing to watch
Is this current now this trans am or was just months ago do you have this trans am for sale right now Marty from Middle River
cant believe the horn worked on this race car
More of a street car I'd say. But idk
Spoiler!
@@MaRk-dd1cy My bad lol
that's badass car, i love the channel. it takes me back to my teenage hotrod days. i owned a '68 chevy shortbed 454, 2 speed and a '67 chevelle factory 283, 3 speed.
Sweet Bird. Would have been More appealing with an SD 455 w/ Pro Charger. Nice Job!!
Love this ride, looks like a blast to drive.Quick sell, another Maple motors winner 🏆. Nick you have a great job 👍. Keep up the great work.
I would rather stare at the shaker in front of me, than that stovepipe coming out of the hood. jmo
You definitely got to be quick to buy one of the very desirable cars that you sell. Very nice ride one of the better ones I've seen in your videos
Nice 74 Firebird with the formula 400 hood! Hey Nick if the vin comes back as a Formula, then it is rarer than the TA.
Nice Pontiac, that's a '70-'73 Firebird front end.
Trans Am with Formula hood or a Formula? Not sure if Formula around in 74
Not to mention the 70-73 nose -
Althou its a very nice car a true pontiac lover will say ya cant put a chevy engine in a pontiac..it sounds great but the price cant be terribly high..and the nose is not a 74..its a 70 to 73..
Calling it a TA with a Formula hood, likely just a reworked Firebird.
After 40 years I guess we didn’t check lmao
That looks like a 73 formula Firebird to me not a T/A wrong nose and hood
All that work and the builder put in an A/T. How disappointing.
Wrong front end and/or doghouse. That supercharger looks absolutely ridiculous coming out of that hood. This car is worth the price of the motor. Put a correct doghouse on it, then you have somethin.
The hood has two perfect places to put air intakes . Why cut a hole on the top?
The back bumperi and tail lights are 77 and 78 only.
Pontiac used a 455 not a 454 completely different engine.
That is NOT a '74 front end, it's a 70-73 front end.
I played along and imeadiently guessed the will horn work because there were too many intricate details done to the car. Wow nice fast quarter mi car love that year firebird nose, although thru the years I like them all.
Fortunate to have a
1969 (California) firebird & a 1977 (Arizona) trans am
Both years so different and I loved em both.
PS for possible idea in future now that vegas betting is on line it would be wild to bet win or loose on the vintage car horns?
Just saying its fun 👍😁
the only thing 74 about this vehicle is the rear window. Looks like it's done pretty well, but most people wouldn't want a 70-73 nose, a 76-78 rear bumper a 78 dash etc. ..certainly not a T/A ...it's pieces from a dozen other vehicles hodge-podged together. meh
I know up in Indy the fuzz frowns on any car that's faster than they are!
Looks like a 70-73 nose on a 74 body. Still a baddass ride. Back in 78, I was supposed to graduate HS. My Father took me to one of his buddy's used car lots. There was a "71 Trans am 455 SD sitting there off to the side. Red with black interior... like new condition. He told me thats my car when I graduate in two weeks. I was sick to my stomach because I knew I wasnt going to graduate. 1/2 credit short. I never told him. He told his buddy to sell it to someone else when I did. He was getting the car for a wholesale price of $1600! Lesson learned! :(
That's got a 73 front end n a 76 rear end...what's up with that
I appreciate going fast but that hood is a hot mess! It has the dual Firebird scoops but they cut into one to make room for the supercharger. You might be saying, “But they’re keeping the car period specific.” But hey, they pulled out the Pontiac motor and put in a Chevy! Why not use a Z/28 if you’re going to use a Chevy motor?
cops in the area,be careful man,LOL
That is not a 74 and it is not a Trans Am, that is 70-73 Formula
73 was the last yr model of the egg shape nose for Firebirds, Firebird Esprit, Firebird Formulas and TransAms.
that might be a 74, but that isn't a 74 nose. 74 has the two black rubber vertical bumpers. at least that is what my Formula 455 SD has. i bought it from it's original owner in 1980.
I'm in Newberry, South Carolina. Have a 71SS Chevelle that was my first High School car. A friend trying to buy it. I told him to look yall up n u would hook him up with a nice ride. If I'm ever up your way I'm coming by and meet u in person.
Have a Great day .
Thanks !Joe Moore
A cop,that must of made you nevous.John Guinto
That's the nose and hood of the 1973 Firebird Formula.
Looks like a Firebird Formula to me, not a Trans Am.
You know you got a cool car if the cops come by and check it out👍
I'm sure everyone want to know how much did it go for
The Po Po 5.0 is there for you Nick he meant to give you a speeding ticket 3 weeks ago and ran the cameras to see where that old school car was located at but little do the cop knows the car is already sold 😅😅😅😅😅
definitely cool car...but the hood got butchered.lol
