woohooo aren’t you just a regular bandit!!!! yeaaaaahhaaaaaaa
yeeessss!!!! that girl in the vid is smokin hot!
Nice ride… But seriously dont go the SBC route. Just go with a true poncho motor….
im not dead set on the SBC, just an idea for now. may just squeeze more out of my 403.
sweet ride just like mine, what exhaust are you running i cant get mine to sound that good
Woo Hoo! what a sick t/a man, NICE
Im not a fan of confederate flags or any of that southern nestalgia stuff, but i really love the originality with the bird, even if im not a big fan i can admit its pretty awsome that someone would have the originality to do something like that with it, i’d like to get a T/A like this and try to get a skeletal bird for the hood, maybe black and silver
And i love how you’re not afraid to drive the car, too many people treat their cars as collectors and never drive them, no way to treat a car
the decal was made like that by the original owners, inspired by a lynyrd skynyrd album.
gotta drive the car hard!
haha right on man, awsome T/A, keep on rockin’
I’ve got a 79 myself, and I would’nt trade it for anything! Just put a new 403 Olds in her,.
Thank you God for the Trans Am!
Dont put a SBC in it!! That will ruin it. put a 400 pontiac in it.
I SECOND THAT!!! YEEE HAAAA
ruin it how? he’s not selling it and its his car so who the fuck cares
how much hp?
alot.
what did she run in the 1/4 mile
Personally I have one and Im more of an “original” guy
ahhh shes a beautyyy
Seems like it struggles a little on the burnout/ 500HP? Doubt it. Ive got a Chevy crate 502/ 502 HP and as docile as it sounds with the roller cam you would have to have a serious thumpin flat tappet to produce 500 in the Pontiac motor and this one just dosent sound or act the part. Kick ass ride though and nice vid, keepum cummin!
well who told you it makes 500hp? or that its a pontiac engine?
the burnouts were not done at full throttle, the reason was to make sure i dont over rev the safe limit of the olds 403 (5000-5500rpm).
dyno test showed 396hp and 505ft/lbs. next summer ill take er out and make more vids.
You know what ? I got it wrong, on the page Im looking at, at the bottom of the vid it sez its a vid response to 81 TA 500+ HP. Sorry I guess Im the dumbass here. Just tired of posers with alright cars on here thinking they have 600 horsepower.
haha no problem man, i thought you must have been a little confused with something else too. and i know what you mean about all the tools with HP assumptions, it is kinda frustrating.
