    As a Trans Am fan for over 40 yrs, I just have to say that, plaid does not belong in a Trans Am, this is sacrilegious

      Hounds tooth, and at this point it’s become cool and rare. I’ll take it if you don’t like it. 😂

      You got that right, I once had a 78 blue never thought I would see plaid in a T/A. 😉

    A lot of people don’t like the 403 Olds engine, on the street, they have potential, a simple head swap makes them come alive, very easy and cheap to do.

      @@louislepage5111 They do, the only issue is the 403 has larger diameter head bolts, you just use a drill and open up the existing holes, I’ve done it twice, I used #5 heads, with the W-30 2.07 intake valves put in with hardened seats, brings the compression up to close to 10:1, makes a huge difference, if you jet the carb, and add a better camshaft, the difference is amazing.

      @@highrzr I have built a few of them the head swap is the biggest thing, a little drill work on the head bolt holes and a set of # 5 heads with the 2.07 intake valves installed, with some hardened seats and they really come to life. They do need a camshaft, adjustable valve trane helps too, carb tuning, and distributer curving. If you wanna really make them run, a set of gears, a higher stall converter, and some valve work on the transmission, then it’s really amazing. Forgot the headers, with everything else, if you do it they’re a must, along with better flowing mufflers. As for the webbed mains, they have girdles that take care of that, all it takes is money. I have built many Oldsmobiles, I have a 1972 W-30 in my shop that I ordered brand new, just finished a complete frame off restoration on it, including full mechanical. Completely number matching, but not stock internally anymore. It runs extremely strong.

    This is a beautiful Trans Am!! Love the 17" Honeycomb wheels and the aftermarket Houndstooth design interior may not be some peoples cup of tea but it was done properly and it actually goes with the car nicely. It just needs the proper exhaust tips in the rear behind the rear tires.

    A Nick, this new format you got with these videos blows. I like the old way you posted the video. We watched it. No premiere, no, nothing go back to the old way.

    1st year of Trans Am I was ever in... 👍 Love the blue.... The interior plaid is different.... Kind of reminds me of the 930 Porche's of the period... 🤔 Like the ride, Nick! 😎

    Hey brother you do a great job showing all the imperfections on all the vehicles you show don't worry about what somebody else says if they want it that bad they need to come up there and get underneath it themselves before you buy it at least come look at it come on them 400 Pontiacs run best with a 650 Holley

    I'm not sure what the owner of this car was thinking; the body has plenty of rust issues, yet they sunk their money into a fancy interior?
