  • I came across this Pontiac Trans Am in a field. Deemed worthless and headed to the scrap yard. A weekend is what I gave myself to see if I could bring this car back around.

    That's a small block Chebby. You can tell by squared off rocker covers and the exhaust manifolds.

    "Now who wouldn't want this car in their life?" Your words my friend! SO PLEASE finish this project! Please! Just selling it off is not the way to go. This will be an EPIC build and will take you to another level of..... Well... CAR GUY! LOL. And it might just take your channel much higher as people slowly start watching this cool build. In your next video put an awesome thumb of that hood or just the car itself! That's how subbs come. It takes a little while and some tenacity to get the ball rolling but this is the car and build that could do it! I LOVE this car (If you couldn't tell LOL). Thanks for the great content!

    81's always had the least rust. I've owned 15 77-81 T/A's all over 25 years ago. The 81's were in a different league and i had 4 Y84 81's 2 were 301 automatic 2 were 305 4 speed. All were my personal cars. I re-did 7 of them. Body and Paint and some the whole drive train. I bought an 81 Y84 301 car from the original owner in 93 for $800 and the a/c stilled worked like new. No one believed i paid that low for it. I got lucky and it was straight with no rust but the paint was on its way out. I think i'm gonna get another one soon.

    the engine cherry picker chained to the latch is a good trick for getting a hood on by yourself

    This thing is easily worth 8-10,000.00 to the right person the way it sits back here in Ontario. Awesome job. Makes me want to find a patena project in my future. Right now finishing my dad’s 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible. Then my 1966 Dodge Monaco Convertible. After both are done I think it’s time for a Patena project.Always wanted to do one. Thanks for the push in that direction.

    My 1st husband found a maroon '78 Trans-AM. I had to put a cushion on the seat to be able to see the front end while driving. She was a great car!! Brings back memories.
    Nice work James. She looks great just the way she is. ❤😊❤

    At least it’s back on the road maybe. Lots of people like shiny rust and dents , I’m not one of ‘em.

    I am rooting for this car. I am not a big fan of "patina" but that clear will give it protection.

    • @RpmAuto

  • @furioushermit9369
    @furioushermit9369 4 месяца назад +1

    Pretty sure it's a 81 as the gas flap has the Phoenix which I think was 81 only

  • @mattbaker847
    @mattbaker847 4 месяца назад +1

    Use a 4.8 in it so it’s like the same as the original 301
