I remember buying one of those cars when I was 19 in 1990 mint condition Bandit Edition 4 speed t-top for $3500. Those cars were all over the place back in the 80s and 90s and you could get them for next to nothing man how times have changed
yup, the Philippino men sure like them around here back then
I remember salivating as a teen the same age looking at the Auto Trader and others and seeing those $3500 "Bandit's"......... Condition was who knows, but prices were 3.5
I HAD the '77 Bandit but when m my oldest daughter was attending a major university I couldn't justify purchasing parts to maker it back to original condition so I sold it for a freaking $3,000. I've HATED myself every since. Everyday I see my picture of it and just shirt my head. We'll my daughter graduated early with her B.S. and now teaches yoga part-time. Yeah, so worth giving up my dream car, but that's what we do as parents. 😢
"Will Richard be able to meet his tight deadline or is this mission too much for him?".. Well we will never know, because you only showed half the story!
Maybe 🤔
I agree. I was totally tuned in to...smh.
My buddy has the same car, colors and all ..
He had the engine rebuilt and the transmission replacement, it was beefed up and it hauls ass...
Those 403s were beasts…. Not a big Trans Am fan( i like ‘em but i’d never own one)but i had a few of these engines and they were very torquey…
I still have my 78 Black T/A that I had as a senior in highschool as well.
I had the 1977 Espirit in the bird blue with a t top. Loved it!
I dunno if i believe that the car actually had engine problems, i think that may have been made up for the show.
Would be logical if the owner wanted them to lose the bet
Wish these guys could redo my 1977 FORMULA 350 project. I'm just a veteran on a budget without a $70k budget.
If this is a real 1977 Y82 Black SE car, all of these items are total downgrades. It's missing the hood scoop decal (which should say 6.6 LITRE as this has the Oldsmobile 403 in it) and if it's a true original car, all that aftermarket equipment detracts from its' value. It's not a "build" it's a "rebuild". GM built it, you are RE-building it.
GM did not build a "Bandit" edition, that is a total misnomer and true Pontiac folks never call it that. There was a 2nd generation Bandit Edition, but it was an aftermarket done by Trans Am Specialties of Cherry Hill, NJ.
Absolutely correct awsome comment
☮️👊
Probly just a base model trans am. If it's a California car it have a 403 in it. Special edition. Sexy cars had 400s in them
@@bohoward8945 The base 400 also said 6.6 LITRE on the decal.
@googleusergp I know the W72, pontiac 400, said t/a 6.6, 200hp, verses, the 180hp base 400, and the 185 hp Olds 403, the two latter saying 6.6 liter on the hoodscoop, like you mentioned for the base 400 L78 Version.
@@thebacdoc6464 Correct, the "T/A 6.6" was only for the high-performance version of the Pontiac 400 (W72). In 1977-1978, there were two versions of the 400, a 180 HP version and a 200 HP version (1977), and 220 HP version (1978). The HP versions were the W72. All 1979 Pontiac 400 engines were paired with the BW Super T-10 and all were HP versions (leftover 1978 versions, hence 220 HP). All versions of the 400 had a 5th VIN digit of "Z", while the 403 Olds (only paired with the TH350 automatic) had a "K" for the VIN code. W72 versions of the 400 had chrome valve covers. The 180 HP versions had painted valve covers. Of course the 403 had painted valve covers too. I have a 1979 10th Anniversary 400/4 speed, one of 1,817.
So . . . let me get this straight . . . you give this poor woman a ridiculous turn around time . . . she gives you a resonable price of 3600.00 figuring she's got to work on this night and day . . . and you working with 70 g's of someone elses money to work with . . . and a 40 grand bonus waiting at the end of the line . . . and the only thing you can think of doing is screwing her out of 600.00 bucks . .
It's a show settle down Rex
and he mocked her accent, Richard is such a tool, I heard from people who met him say that he was an ass
It’s how the rich stay rich
This has to be one of my favorites
I line how they tried to make bleeding brakes rocket science. Guess they never heard of an automatic brake bleeder. So simple and fast to use! lol
The Bandit TAs were warmed over, that car you see barking in 3rd gear is about a 12 second car on the strip, mid 12s I'd say with a gear swap from the highway gear to a 4:11
The 77 movie cars were 1976s with 77 front clip. They also had the 455.
4.11s never worked with Pontiacs. They had plenty of low-end grunt.
That wasn't a bonsai tree that Sue was working on when Richard and Aaron pulled up, was it?
my dad owned a black trans am back in the early 90's wway before i came around lol and the motor was shot and gave out on his way through the states. he left it and hitched a ride to get to Florida. he tried to get someone else to pick up the car but by the time they came around it looked the tow truck had swept it off the road. man those f bodies are something else. I always think about that car and where it could have ended up. junkyard? someones backyard? who knows man I can only hope it was given a second chance. i have a 79 camaro im currently working on but I long for a 70-73 firebird
First thing I thought was this car has serious hidden repair issues. Most common being rust and the engine.
Yup!
depuis de j'ai le film Firefox avec Roy Scheider je rêve d'avoir cette magnifique Trans Am
I want my 88 trans am fully redone ..
Need some 🤌🤌🤌
Should have checked the engine from the beginning, it’s car building 101. That’s Richard’s fault.
These "reality" shows are about as real as wrestling. probably the same people are watching both. entertainment meant for kids and dolts.
77 Pontiac new upgrade ASAP
My favorite car
You get a flat on that Camaro you probably wouldn't even know how to change the tire
Sue is so awesome
Fake timeliness
You should hwve started with the engine
Lol dropping the oil pan. The car isnover 40 years old. See ehat cutting corners will do Everytime? I would've just done a LS SWAP . You already had a new transmission. Come on guys
Exactly. LS Swap, Done. $$$
I love Sue...
made the car look fast in the movie but in reality they were 16 sec 1/4 mile cars.. The LeMans Enforcer in the movie would of been faster than the TA!
16 seconds was quick in the late 70s.
The movies were more about thrilling audiences w/burnouts & stunts, not so much breakneck speed.
whole movie was about speed... even right at beg of movie he says " NEED A FAST CAR.. FASTER THAN THAT!!!!""" when hes gettin money from Big enos and son.@@SamWesting
@@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor YOU said these were 16 sec. cars. Nothing you would find on a NASCAR track. Smokey movies were mostly showing a lot of burnt rubber & stunt driving (bootleg turns, jumps, driving between trucks, etc.) Were they going fast enough to be ticketed for speeding if it was real life? Yeah. But as I said, the movie was not about showcasing the fastest cars on the planet.
either way it was slow!
@@SamWesting
why is brake fluid squirting everywhere ??????
maybe we will find out the answer in part 2 of this video...if it ever comes out
@@fixxforlife1569 the customer will find out when the paint is all blathered
Just call the lady by her proper name Jesus Christ
the extra gear makes the transmission bigger?I call Buuullllshit
Bull runnel?
Poorly designed exhaust. Less desirable Oldsmobile engine.
Jessi james still thinks he"s a dooooosh
This was one of the most and worst scripted episodes of FAST 'N LOUD!!!!😝😝
these shows are all the same. they are _always_ behind schedule! same crap happened all the time on occ.
Supposed to be 4speed
😊😎
❤️❤️😍😍😍
The timeline shit in these shows are gay as fuck.. Anyone who wants a ba ride knows they'll have to have patience.. Bad ass car like all the TA's
Blasphemy...to take an original and butcher it. At least this wasn't an "SE" edition as Bandit was w/all the additional factory striping, that really would have been sad...to a purist anyway. But I cannot believe there's such a lack of regard for original cars, especially at this point...when he had those immaculate original seats there and wanted to "dress it up", OMG, made me want to vomit.
They had a 403 rebuilt overnight... Good luck...
