Brings back memories. As a junior in high school and just getting my license...I saved from my paper routes and grass cutting jobs to get a 1977 Silver 400 4blr 4 speed just like this. I ended up getting 2 tickets my senior year and my dad made me sell the car. I have missed it since. This is a car I still remember and can't get out of my head. Hopefully retiring this year and have worked my entire life and hopefully I can find a way to buy and build a car like this. Thank You, Glad I found this channel. Big Time Inspiration. Subscribed.
The deep black color is one of the best paint work i have seen on a T/A. Attention to detail is off the charts! Lady and gentlemen this is what you can creat when you have a gift for vision. Great job!
@@RevnMedia7523 thanks but I am on the otherside of the planet and although I own a Trans Am, I dont think this particular beast would ever be in my budget 😔

Fantastic car ! Your right there is place certain car builds become art ! Your build is art absolutely beautiful ! I’d love to have that too drive daily ! At least pretty days !
My First Car I Drove was a 1977 Firebird Espree it Was so Much Fun & got a Good Deal on it because I Kept an eye on it for Years & went cash in had & asked if They Were Selling it, Got it Running in Their Driveway & Drove it Off, Had to be sold when Moving in 2015 a few years after owning :( NEVER SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT! It was in Amazing Original Condition & a Very Strong Runner. One of My Dream Cars is a Smokey & the Bandit Trans Am that car could have easily been made into.
robert obrien I would have to stop driving it for that to happen !!!! I promise you it will get done soon ! Thanks for watching Robert ! Best regards Mark
I’m happy people are buying these and building them the way they should have been built back then. Throw an LS, trans, suspension and brakes and you’re gold. The bite is finally matching the bark.

@@ArtYouCanDrive It does look great in every way. Except that the spoilers in front of the wheel would look better if left original or a little larger (like YO’s BRE) instead of being smaller than the originals. (I have a 78 and purchased the larger ones that are original to the 79-81s.) Otherwise a SPECTACUALR build!

@@3VAudioVideo From another comment posted by Mark the painter, "...the original bird is a decal from Classic Industries, Chip did the added outlines on the wings". If you have any other questions always feel free to ask and stay tuned for season 2 still in progress.
I had a 1977 Smokey and the Bandit trans am as well as a 1979 silver Anniversary edition , wish I had them now , but I do have a 2008 zo6 vette so I’m good 👍
I saw one of these built with all the resto mod goodies but the wheels and graphics were all silver and it was so badass. It looks so much better than the gold but everybody wants a black and gold bandit. Also this car just put you guys into the stratosphere on views, congrats! If you get good cars, people will come.
Jon Becker those are nice too in silver. Unexpected yet tasteful. Thx for spotting our view count blowing up and subs too. We are pushing forward on new content with good and interesting cars. Thx again!!
I don't like the black and gold . I preferred the Formula more. Less stuff on it. Ithe Formula is so much cleaner and you could get it loaded with options .

Had a78 solar gold with the delco t tops and the gold snowflake wheels. Was one really good looking car. Wasn't all that fast but boy would that car handle.
This car is aging like Wine. The modern touches make great reliability and safety improvements. I’d love a nice worked LS under the hood for the power that was lacking in 77-78. Other than that I love the build!
Glenn The Closer Lombardo Hi Glen , we painted the hood black , sanded it and installed the factory decal , then we had Mike Lavallee from Killer Paint Studio come in and add the finishing touches to the bird then I clear coated it again ! Thanks for watching !

As always Foose puts his touch not always to the account of what someone else would want but that's ok. The thing is I would have restored this car to it's original form. I watched the episode where this was built and given the Trans Am nut that I am, the reason it would have went back original is because it's really a Y88 Golden Edition for 78. Don't get me wrong, they built a beautiful car but I wouldn't have done that to a Special Edition Y88 car. I would have done it to a regular firebird because there is nothing left of the original car except maybe the trim tag saying Y88 and then that depends on where it was built. not all assembly plants put the SE RPO codes on the tag. Not everyone respects the history of a special model, most people want to change everything. Beautiful car though.
Hi John , thanks for watching and commenting! As you saw this car required extensive metalwork , only the roof and hood are original , it could easily be restored back to original but this version has already been sold for 2.5 times the cost of the most perfect original available. Given it’s a Foose car and a tv car it holds the most value as is . We are currently restoring a Y88 back to original and it will be presented in mid 2021 ! Thanks again for watching !
hey Derrick , scroll up to the Dominik Kucek post , i listed the sizes, keep in mind they are sized for a car with complete Detroit Speed Suspension and 6 piston Baer Brakes , sizes may differ . Thanks for watching !
these Trans Ams of that era and generation are among the best looking cars ever made.

Hi John , thanks for watching and commenting! As you saw this car required extensive metalwork , only the roof and hood are original , it could easily be restored back to original but this version has already been sold for 2.5 times the cost of the most perfect original available. Given it’s a Foose car and a tv car it holds the most value as is . We are currently restoring a Y88 back to original and it will be presented in mid 2021 !
Thanks again for watching !
What are the wheel spec's
hey Derrick , scroll up to the Dominik Kucek post , i listed the sizes, keep in mind they are sized for a car with complete Detroit Speed Suspension and 6 piston Baer Brakes , sizes may differ . Thanks for watching !
Front 19x8. 255/30/19
Rear 19x12 325/30/19
Wonder how to find out the wheel and tire size?
Wheels are way too big , should have the Pontiac snowflakes or aftermarket reproductions a few sizes bigger. Love the car as a whole.
Matthew Bratton may be true, but it’s an easy swap out. Then you can sell the Foose wheels and buy another car w the proceeds ;) Maybe maybe not
Is that car for sale?
