- Got the chance to help Joe Jackson at Classic Pontiac Rescue pick up these Trans Am's that have been sitting for right at 30 years! They are in amazing shape for how long they have been sitting!
I know these are not true bandit cars I just always refer them to these years because of the movie!

The Young Lady. Definitely a Car Girl Look :)
me too
2 more legends saved. Like the Phoenix the Trams Am shall rise again!
Pontiac shall return, when Mary Barra gets off her power trip...
Why are these trans ams so slow ?.
@@paulthomson9709 There from the 70s dont forget there was a fuel crisis goung on, even with a 6.6l 400 v8 they only had around 220 hp
@@paulthomson9709 > so you can buy one cheap and put an LS 1 Chevy in it and a ^6 speed trans and you are up and running ! because 220 hp will not work.
MUSCLE CARS AND BLONDES.....BEST COMBINATION EVER
And beer
I graduated automotive HS in 1975 got a job with Pontiac in the get ready shop. We installed the radios, defrosters, alarms , vinyl tops. Detailed the card and delivered them to the dealership about 3 miles away. I drove more 455 trans am cars than you can count. And they were so poorly but together, parts missing, I'm talking real crappy construction. But they sure looked good. Anyway in 1988 I bought a black fully loaded TA with the screaming chicken and everything. Guess what, it was garbage, burned rubber ok looked good, but the repair receipts were very high. I traded it in for a Honda civic in 91. Life is good 😊
Yeah , it's sickening , the way the Boobtube , movie fan community gashes on about this heap of shit model.
SCREAMING CHICKEN??You obviously should not own 1 and i am glad you drive a CIVIC NOW
I have a 78 firebird esprit.. LOVE IT! I found it in a barn in upstate New York where I live..all original survivor! And yes the blonde girl is gorgeous 😍
Nice to see two more saved have my 74 and 77 since new still so much fun
That blue Trans Am is GORGEOUS!
Gorgeous. I've used the tire clean solution at the car wash for vehicles this nasty from sitting. Spray it on and let it soak a few minutes and the gunk just comes right off easy.
i love the formula firebird..the dual snorkle hoodscoops are so inpressive
I hit SUB cause of the Blonde
Red Wave she said thanks 😂
me too
Somehow got this video recommended after I was searching Trans Am's on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist? LOL Either way, great video and i'd definitely love to see more about them! It kind of reminds me of how I got my 89 Mustang GT when it had sat in a barn and in a yard for around 20+ years before I got it!! Subscribed!!
What a find , great project
Just picked up a 81 turbo trans am project. Had an engine fire 20 years ago. Someone started to fix it and lost interest. It’s a Daytona 500 pace car too! 👍 It’s good to see others getting saved.
Cool cars. Need more of the blonde! 😁
Holy cow! Nice rides!
I had a Formula like that Red one and a 77 Bandit 6.6, plus an 82 Recaro T/A partscar for my 83' 500hp stroker and a 89 V6 I was going to rebuild years ago.
The 83 and my friends 70 Challenger are shredding tires in my 96' VHS Burnouts & Boobs
Awesome Find 🍻🤠💪🤙
Thats a keeper! The door handle isnt broke and it didnt fall 2 inches when you opened it.
Hell ya great job/find
The bondo, black, and grey T/A has the 1977 honeycomb grills and what might be American t-tops, or they might be Hurst. Either way, a couple of nice finds. Please do followup videos and reveal engine details on both and whether the bondo one is a 77 or 78, and about its t-tops too!
Nice find !
I should talk to your buddy at that shop. I have a ton of parts, and a few cars left from back in the day.
At one time, I had 22 parts TA's up here in the N.E.
That was when they were cheap!
Those 77-78 TA's have a huge following.
Yep...they're still out there
Stuart B message him on his Facebook page classic Pontiac rescue man! I’m sure he will probably get them
bad azz....nothing like the Bandit Trans Am.... and Farrah Fawcett... ❤️ #ripfarrah #ripburtreynolds
I'm fro Honea Path and know Joe. Good guy.
5:00 what a great peice of eye candy
Those are some badass machines 💪
I love that helper u had but you done agreat. Job on bringing them home and vidio was verry good thanks
That protective dirt coating on those beautiful machines. 😅
Hope nobody's torn into those engines and drive trains. . It's like Christmas when performing the first inspection and you find things in better shape than you'd hoped .
Killer video, Devon. Subbed! Keep up the awesome content.
J Garcia thank you👌👌
Damn. A collector.. that be a dream to me buddy
Damn! Sweet finds, most people are lucky to find one, much less two and with T tops no less!
Dave Barron actually he picked up 3 just didn’t get it that day, I went and picked the other one up the other day!
@@Devon_Lewis Ya, I was going to say something about the additional black one but ignorance is bliss!
From what I could make out, the white one has 8" Snowflakes, which, if original, means it has the WS6 handling package. It has a Pontiac engine but I couldn't tell if it has painted or silver metal valve covers, so dunno if it's L78 400 or W72 400. It has Fisher t-tops, 78 interior door panels, and 78 lattice style grills.
Glad to see someone that knows a thing or two about these cars. I had a white 1977 Base Model with the 6.6 Litre motor. Came with the Rally II wheels. I put 7" snowflakes on the front and 8" ones on the back. My '77 had the hexagon shaped grill opening. When the motor died, my brother and I put a T/A 6.6 motor in it.
Looking at the round air filter snorkel tells you it is a L78. A W72 would be square. 🙂
@@jimmygr720 That I didn't know. Make sense considering mine had a round opening.
Nice find of the screaming chickens. I would like to get me one someday.
Very nice!
Love thos style TA. My Mom had one brand new in the 70s.
You should bring the camera when you drive through stl this week and maybe I can make a guest appearance lol. Cannot wait to meet you guys!!!
Oh ya I’ll definitely Have a camera lol
"TA. My Mom had one brand new in the 70s."
Well you just sucked the man-hood out of me by mega years.
Thank you sweet heart.
Neat find you are a lucky guy to have that girl.
Even filthy, those cars look nice.
They should have a 1970-73 Trans-Am white with Tan leather interior, or a Blue one with Black interior. Love those honeycomb wheels on those year models. Most beautiful car in those years...
The car wash scene was so satisfying..so was the blonde girls cameo in the video
Nice trans am barn find
Good job we love the trans am
No way, found in Edgefield? I’m in Augusta. What a great find.
I'm thinking joe had my high school car for sale, 79 400 with all the options I had, pretty rare combination I'm finding out. Going to have to go visit on a vacation soon.
great job, I am friends with Joe and I have a Trans Am and Jag page here
Ka PPOOWW!!!!!!!!!!!! @10:00 Thank you. :-)
I had two 1977 Blackbird Trans AM cars up until 1993. One Ohio car and one California model. I should have put them in storage!
Love these Firebirds
Cool they came from my state!! I'm from Greer in upstate south Carolina!!
Justin Ray Styles awesome! I live in Lyman!
@@Devon_Lewis sweet dude your really not that far from me then!😎👍
I'm a proud owner of a 94 Pontiac Trans that's heavily modified with a 383 stroker LT1 with a D1SC procharger at 15 lbs of boost. I'll never sell it. I've been building this car for 5years. I call it my project trans am. The only thing stock is the body and interior. Street and strip and car meets and car shows with it. The Pontiac Trans am iin my opinion is the hottest sport's car ever built... Congrats to Pontiac... They did a hell of job with body looks... 👍🤙🇺🇲
Kei lylmm I would love to see your car and hear it run man! I’m building a fully forged 383 for my Camaro! I wanna pro charge it also lol
@@Devon_Lewis procharger is the way to go. Mine you can hear the comp blower cam over the procharger whistle.. I'm making over 700 hp. I've built my 94 project trans am from the ground up. All my suspension is BMR. And is fully adjustable.
There's a bunch of these cars in the year one warehouse in Braselton Georgia
Bodies look good and solid on them. Looks like 3 in that barn
Ya we got all 3 just only got 2 the first run lol
Thats a dream right there on everday .
Blonde is way to good looking for these guys LOL
All about the money dude. 🤣 💵
@@Riches1969 If I had to guess, you and the other guy are both off to see the wizard?
I don't think she's aware of her surroundings, or much else
@@Riches1969 money? Lol I’m broke asf 😂
The blonde probably isn't in it 4 the money she probably sees beyond the looks because money doesn't buy happiness and looks are very deceiving in life.
Don’t believe either as actually Bandits. but man what great find, look to have a parts & not tons of rust on q-panel
Those dogs were super cute
Is the one you didn't pick up for sale
Lucky man!
No disrespect just the opposite, your girlfriend is absolutely stunning
Benny Garr lol you’re good man! Thank you
Now I gotta watch the video
girlfriend is absolutely bla bla bla , a dime a dozen , do you live under a rock ?
@@shawnhunt2332 wants what he don’t got. I was more focused on how clean that white car was.
Coke a cola and J.D Jack Daniels Tennessee's finest Coke a cola dude!
Those Trans Ams "Look Sharp"!
Ahh! I want one for my first car!
Hey man where did you get your wheels?
Puros car echos con amor lo máximo ☘️😭🍀🇲🇽👍💠🚥🚧👁️
That blonde is way outta the league here 😯
Covered in mold = pretty clean
That blue one needs to be lowered a little bit to be perfect!
I need a late second generation bird of my own. :-D
They need to put some video on their website of their builds...............
Shannon Martin is a Shocker Racing Girls model --- you need to make sure you BUY her one of those Firebirds !!! ... that would be the nice thing to do !
She “used” to be lol not anymore shocker racing was a ass to her!
@@Devon_Lewis - good to know - hopefully is she in a safe place and respected. I have had my 1992 Firebird since it was new. Looks just as new, of course it's not perfect. It's more of a "war-bird" that has gotten me everywhere early on in my career (Army & LE Officer).
Those birds you've restored are fantastic. My family always had Firebirds as I grew up. My female cousins had them - my dad. They are the best in the pony car realm - too bad they don't make them anymore. I have 230,000 miles on mine - with alot of care & maintenance. Of course I don't drive it all over like I used to! HA !! Mine is as original state as any -best condition. I think my 1992 is best one out there at the moment. It's just the coupe. At 21 when I got it I couldn't afford the extra insurance cost of having a V8 !
Well - take care of that young lady! & keep restoring those birds!!!
T-tops waiting to leak.
allen schmitz probably are they have been sitting for years lol
@@Devon_Lewis They'd likely leak if they'd been sitting only days! I had a 78 SE with Hurst tops and a 79 with Fisher tops, both leaked and both cars had less than 70,000 miles on them. But on a nice day, nothing beats t-tops!
Who cares?
Wow nice finds good luck on the projects
Washing that car was so cool sick video bro
Nice cars. Hope there 4-speeds $$$$
Anyone interested in the 2 cars we still have of the 3 we purchased from this barn you can contact us at m.facebook.com/classicpontiacrescue/
Nice dog
Nice find man and a follow vid miss blonde washing the
T/A with a sponge and much soap. Is the one a white
or a baby blue car?
junkman it was white
Cool
People call these "Bandit" Trans Am's but Pontiac did not make such a thing. And, it was a black SE model used in the movies and these cars are not black. That being said, super nice find!
That’s why I said “ the bandit style” it’s the same car just black. Every time I’ve ever heard anybody talk about these cars it’s not the “73 Trans Am” it’s “ya that’s the bandit style trans am” because everyone knows what body style that is
I'm curious how they will clean up. My sisters dad has the white one that's been in his garage for almost 30 years. I was over there a couple years ago and it's still in there under a cover in the garage. And I know its low mileage. He used to pull it out and wash it and pull it right back in the garage once a year when I was a kid.
ROTTBOXX 1980 they washed up pretty good for how long they have been there! But it blows my mind how people let them sit lol
@@Devon_Lewis no doubt. The day will come when we bring her back out and she goes back on the road. I loved that car growing up
❤
How much for that wheelbarrow?
Dude.. your dad was probably in his 20s when the bandit came out ... but it's good to see your into the older ones.. just don't kibosh them into restomods
Yeah hope he keeps the motor stock so he gets passed by some civics on the roadway.
Treyhicksii Dukes of hazzard 01 6:00
I have a 1981 trans am turbo blue bird ws6 t top car all powered and original
Screaming chicken is making a come back
Damn, I sound like Billy Bob in Sling Blade
Beautiful girl, and cars...for all those wondering she is Shannon Martin, an aspiring UA-cam model. Check her out for a closer look at those shorts. These folks are clever cross-marketers. I wish them much success.
I think you mean shannon Lewis
I live in east Texas and there a 1969 firebird behind my house I wish someone that had the money and time to do something with it. Maybe could get it and save the car
We're are these cars now bro?
Damn! Wasted no time washing them.... hell could flip them with just a wash job🤘🤘
They did clean up really good lol!
yep, the blonde is the best part
I want to see the blue Pontiac it's one I wish I could own
gotta love how people base where they are by how close a Walmart is
Michael Babella 😂 it’s true though lol
Y quienes son los malvados qué dejaron en el olvido a esas bellezas de maquinas
Where we at? Between the A the and the T !
Holy moly I just found an incredible barn find myself and that’s the young lady in the Daisy Dukes !!! I would trade the cars for her !!! Hahahahaha and NOO harm intended just love gorgeous sexy women !!! And have a Coke with a smile !!! 😁
Did they both have their noses replaced sometime in their life?
John Lee I’m sure they probably have lol
Saab Kyle double???😳
That dust is a good sign instead of weeds growing out from the hood ,People won't invest in quality covers for a car outside just buy military grade tarp and keep it covered investment will pay off later
Those tarps trap moisture under them and rot the metal. I’ve seen it firsthand.
A car cover is what you should buy.
Nice shorts I mean cars
Always loved these bandit trans ams , until i drove one .
