$106,000 Pro Touring build, I talked to the shop that built it. Only 1,883 miles since completed. They started with a clean Texas car and built it for a customer that wanted something unique that performed like a sports car.
EXTERIOR: This is a really good looking car. What I like best is that it's very unique. The paint scheme and wheels are one of a kind. The Texas body is clean and straight everywhere, panels fit square and flush. The big doors don't drop. The wheel well flares are molded to the body without seams. The original fiberglass dual scoop hood has Aerocatch flush hood locks. The rubber front end is in excellent shape. The silver paint is laid out evenly with plenty of metal flake. The white/gold paint stripes are painted on smooth. A high gloss clear coat finish is polished like glass. All the chrome was replaced- grills, headlight bezels, and turn signal bezels, door handles, taillights and rear bumper. Upgraded high intensity Halogen H4 headlights. It has sport mirrors, front and rear spoilers. The door jambs are painted real slick, new weatherstrips, sill plates and window seals. All new glass. The 18 inch wheels have gold accents inserts to match the striping on the car. They are wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, much wider in back.
INTERIOR: I want to make a desk chair out of this bucket seat, it is so comfortable! New cushions and upholstery. The upper and lower door panels look new. In front of me is a Formula wheel wrapped in glove soft leather on a tilt column. Nice set of Dakota Digital custom gauges in the factory holes. Heater controls are updated Vintage Air with electric slides instead of cables. It has a modern stereo system. A modern 6-speed shifter is sticking up out of the factory console which also has power window switches. Up above is a new headliner and visors. All the plastic trim is excellent, carpet looks new.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: 6.0 LS2 from a GTO. Upgraded LSX-R intake with custom intake tube. All the components on the motor are also modern: serpentine belt system, modern power steering, new Vintage Air heat and a/c system. New cadmium plated brake booster and new master. A big aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps it cool.

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback. Thanks for watching!
That was my car in high school! ❤❤❤ that car. Fun to drive, blew every single car off the road that came up next to me revering their engines! They couldn’t believe a teenager, female at that beating them. Miss that baby
What a fantastic car to have as a teen!! What colors?
@@VoloMuseumAutoSales maroon interior, silver flex, posi traction!
That was my car in high school!! ❤❤❤ miss that baby such a fun drive
Im not a huge LS swap restomod guy but this one was done nicely by retaining the pontiac vibe with the modern GTO motor , the only thing missing is the loping choppy exhaust note from a ram air 4 profile camshaft
Nice
I totally concur, 10000%.
Wonderful Formular!!
Tasteful color combinations. Simply a Beauty!!
Great rims and fine upgrades!!
A real head-turning car.....
REALLY A GOOD DEAL!
Thanks for showing and Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹👍👍😎👌
Beautiful car. Loved sixties - early seventies Pontiacs...
Makes my 2 owner 79 look like a Yugo 😂 That car is gorgeous 👍
Man that's gorgeous
😃 thanks!
Sweet !!! Silver Bullitt Love the leather seats and the rest of the interior...
Really slick paint too...
Thanks 👍
As you know I'm one of your biggest and honest critics..... this is a cool car!
I thought the 70 Lucerne Blue one was nice. Love the gold on the rims and pin striping with big white stripe with nose and tail. Beautiful! Chip Foose would bow down.
Very nice Jay. As you say it's keeper .
I love the built in fender flares and spoiler. I bought a 73 Trans Am new and loved the looks of the car but never cared for the cheesy way they added the flares to it.
That is on very nice firebird
You are so unfair I love that body style lol
Old school performance
Old school look new school performance with the LS Chevy motor.
LOVE that paint job, great colors, that interior color just clashs a bit. Went from "metal " type colors to an "earthy" leather color. They should have done it in black. Can't imagine how fun that thing is to drive with 6 gears to play with. So is that a 6.2 liter LS?? That would make it what 383 or 389?? Fantastic machine.
Personally, I don't like the white & gold accent stripes at all. Other than that, it's a badass car. The silver color awesome!!Now, if I could only afford it...
very pretty
Thank you! 😊
I don't know what kinda ride Jay owns but that would definitely be a great choice, take care of that cough.
This is back from April, so that was awhile ago.
I AM in love with this awsome wonderfull beauty oh god so beautifull wow wish this baby Was mine trigger lets go for a ride from the batcave 🦇 🦇 USA 🤩 thanks president Jay grams of volo auto museum 😊 😊 😊 😊
A Silver Bullet ‼️Watch out to any Werewolves out there‼️😃👍
You lost me
at LS
As a 'modern refurbish' car, it is beautiful. As an old guy that's owned 6 Pontiac Trans-Ams (plus 2 Formulas) in his life...I cringed at it, for a major reason. If it IS a 'true' 1973 Formula, there is NOTHING original on the car (paint, motor, transmission, interior, wheels, etc.)...nothing. Sad, considering how rare they were to start with. If it is NOT a 'build sheet Formula', but merely a pre-75 Firebird that's been refitted with a Formula hood, then Que Sara...but also is as 'de-valued' as if it were a restored Formula...maybe $25k tops (could easily be done with a chassis, if you have body-paint skills).
The problem with 'retro-modding' an old musclecar, is akin to 'disposable car'...whether you are 'chopping the suspension' on a truck (you might put $10k into it, and like it, but you'll NEVER get your investment back out of it...no one else wants it!) or putting an LS drivetrain in a 1965 Mustang, you've SEVERELY devalued the car to those (mostly older) who have the money to actually PURCHASE THE CAR (or truck) to start with! If you doubt any of this, simply watch the prices at ANY Barrett-Jackson auction...untouched with rust will double, triple, even more, the final price of ANY 'modded' equivalent.
yes you're so right, but many people just flashing on hot colors and wheels etc. Original car enthousiast are hidden and don't talk much about there cars😉, but when they talk they know the real vallue. Cheers from a French Trans Am lover and driver
I sure hope that whoever buys this one rescues it by making it a Pontiac again...if you want a car with a Chevy engine buy a disgusting Chevy, don't desecrate a rare Pontiac work of art like this one!!!!!!!
Love your comment a true Poncho fanatic like me ,you're absolutely right could of went to BUTLER performance & got an engine
I feel the same. Also, can't beat the sound of a big 4 BBL carb at WOT.
Disgusting? Oh come on man, there are plenty of beautiful Chevy classics.

I got one more comment I'd like to make Jay. You said the engine was out of a late model so-called GTO, and I gotta say that so-called GTO is in fact a pathetic Australian Holden Commodore, I know what I'm talking about too, since after all I am an Australian!
$106,000 US for a car without it’s original motor and a cruddy Commodore motor, no way.
@@chriswaldron2617 A CRIME punishable only by DISMEMBERMENT. I Sincerely mean it with my HOLE HEART... That is how passionate I am about the purity of Pontiac, you better known I mean it!
@@jasonhak4684 As much as I love Ponchos the sad fact is Pontiac is dead and gone.And the last Pontiac V8 built was a 4.3 LS5 two barrel making an earth shattering 110 hp.Sad end for a great company but there ya go.
@@burtbacarach5034 Obviously you missed the point mate! The fact is this Pontiac was built with a actual Pontiac powerplant, but some piece of shit decided to replace it with a disgusting Chevy engine. Therefore it is no longer a Pontiac, it is now a repulsive Chevy piece of crap!!!
@@jasonhak4684 Jesus Christ grow up, man.
106k hood will not stay up lol
I can see we fixed that on the vehicle and it has since been sold. 👍
Covid Auto Sales
?????
lol
Your cars are great, but have your cameraman watch the Vanguard car vids, so he or she knows how to shoot interiors
Good looking bird.....I think......why is the guy standing in front of the car in EVERY shot. Dude, no one wants to see you. Just show the car. What are you trying to hide.
I'm sorry through a 10.5min video(discounting the intro) you are under the impression he was "hiding something". You are also welcome to check out the 124 pictures of the vehicle on our direct website(don't worry, nobody is standing in front of or modeling for the pictures). You can also come see it yourself in person. Have a inspector come out on your behalf?
