I can't get enough of these old trans ams and camaros. They are timeless. Beautiful car.
Couldn't agree more! 2nd gen camaros and trans ams are my favorites
no survaillanced friendly cars. All mechanical
No T-Tops = no creaking & leaking, but they were a huge deal for most of my buyers, back in my days with Pontiac (early 80s, selling late model used versions).
Often folks when trading up would request no tops. Solid top, Baby!
That's funny, I'm a hard top coupe guy, myself. Born in '87, my favorite car is the Ls1 Trans Am, black and Ws6 of course. Almost all of them have T-Tops, and I really don't like them but everybody who rides in mine asks about the T-Tops and thinks they're cool. Go figure, haha
"Eastbound and Down" Bandit Trans Am, nice! Just watched that movie and brought back some great memories of being a kid. Beautiful car, not suprised it's sold already. All she needs is Sally Field in the passenger seat to be perfect...😂
I owned a 1979 Trans Am black with t-tops, gold pinstriping, etc. The t-tops never ever leaked. It was a beautiful car but really slow.
Sold my 78 in 2009 couldn’t find anyone to pay more than $8000 and it was in better shape than this one. How times have changed. Wish I would have kept it. Finally sold it to a guy in Australia of all places.
If what you say is true , he is sitting on a gold mine, I’ve been looking for a clean 78 and you’d be paying at least 150k aud for a firebird as clean as yours
Sold my Blue 78 TA in 1988 for $5500, it was loaded, Bot it brand new in 78 for $7800, wish I still had it but 2 kids on the way, it was hard to justify! Would trade my C8 for nice an updated TA any-day!
My friend in high school bought the first 70 T/A here in ICT...LIST PRICE WAS 5700 PLUS CHANGE, FULLY LOADED. White with blue interior.
I dont know much about car but this is one of my fav cars. Iam not a 90s or 80s kid but i love this car so much. Here in thailand its not available but one day i wanna import it and bring it here. Btw i wanted to now that this is manual right?
ALREADY SOLD, as soon as the video showed up!? Dang, someone really wanted this car!
Yep sold fast but I already had the video. Just showing the inventory that we had since it was already made. Thank you
@@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate so how are we supposed to know when they’re available if they sell before we ever see them on here?
Noticed the. Ta 6.6. Real Pontiac 400...220 hp. 15.2 automatic puartermile....high 14 with 4 sp. Nice
Except that’s not a W72 Pontiac engine. It’s a base Pontiac 400 pushing 180 Hp
The shaker call outs should say 6.6 liter
The TA 6.6 was only for W72 cars, this car has a base “Pancho”.
Still a great car
My buddy had a 78 with 4 speed, did mid 14s stock
Had a buddy that had a 78 with 4 speed, did mid 14s stock
The optional W72 engine was rated at 220 hp , NHRA tested the 78! With the W72 and stated that GM under reported and they hp was more like 265. The car would do 14s stock
Wow. That went fast! 😀
Breaker 1 9 breaker 1 9 ... It's the bandit son!! Lol
The first Bandit car was 1977, though. This is pretty close.
@@LITTLE1994 yes I know.
@@LITTLE1994 and the interior is black on the real bandit car. But everytime I see a black trans am with a gold bird I think of the bandit
I see why that sold fast. Awesome ride
Snowman to Nick the bandit, you got a texas bublegum machine behind you, put the pedal to the metal, iconic trans AM, thanks Nick great video stay cool 😎 😎 😊 🤟 😊
Now this what I was talking about this car here I wanted to see on one your videos. and it’s the year old school modern trans am cars I’m talking about around the year 77or78z
Only $20k! I’d be happy to pay the conversion to AU$ to have bought that
Someday before I die I'm going to own another Trans Am.... It pisses me off how fast they go and the prices that are demanded out of them 😡😡😡😡😡
Same here
nice truck your avitar has
Well i bet theyll be a bit cheap in the future
Interior has that 70s funk 😄
Good thing about the gas fill under back plate is Dont have to pick or wait for a side!!
Oh I noticed that all the TAs of that era don’t have them duel under exhaust pipes that definitely looked kool n were chrome of course..
But would scrape pulling in n out of steeper driveways.
Maple 🍁 motors makes Monday great again
Thanks for the uploads
Even if they are sold
Cars with a working horn are worth $5K more!
T tops were aesthetically pleasing, there’s no other use for em 😂
I would have been interested in this one aside from the rust on the rear passenger side wheel cover… you’ve put Maple Motors on the map for me. I’m from Toronto 😄
Back when I started driving in 85 these f bodys were 1500 to 3k all day but supply and demand.
I got one pretty cheap in the late 80s. Painted it a different color and drove it for a few years. I have an '80 Turbo Trans Am now but it was redone years ago with a 454 and 4 speed. Technically Smokey and the Bandit 2.
10 K later, this would be a beauty...
Great video! Just finished putting an LS into my 79’ hard top. Drives like a dream. 🏎💨
Nice car. I would like to have another one for old times sake.
Thanks nick
Had a 78 455 4sd. Hands down the most fun car I've owned.
No such thing as a 78 455. 76 was the last year for the 455.
Sold fast ? Maybe these late second gen Pontiac’s and Camaros r finally starting to get some love
I would have bought that sucker!
Are these supposed to be stock with technology from 1978? The exhaust was not at all what it originally came with. This car has headers that look to go straight into mufflers. I don't care for them on these vehicles, but catalytic converters are required, and the original exhaust collected both sides to one tube that goes through the cat then splits and goes to the turn downed dual tips behind the rear wheels.
Omg thats so cool !! If I lived down there id be in trouble..or broke ! Lol 😆
That year is the best year! Dang went to fast
But 4 speed tho
They were the best year(s). I had two of them. One silver 4spd, beer can, and one dolar gold 78, loaded with everything but t-tops, came with the automatic though.
Hey Nick, nice car! But, I wanna go for a test ride in that blond bikini car! Test her horn button! Oooogahh!!! 😍
Nice car but wrong decals for that year.
Decals were correct. Some 78 Trans Ams had different sets of decals, depending on when the car was ordered from the factory. Also, the Trans Ams were assembled at both Norwood, Ohio and Van Nuys, CA, from 1978-81.
I want one with ttops
Another great car by Maple Motors 👍
Wow wow I just love this one Nick perfect amazing looking car thanks Nick
I will get one of these b4 30 👏🏾👏🏾
Was waiting for you to get one
My brother had one just like this...special ordered w/o the chicken on the hood and with black interior. He hated that crap and so do I.
great honest video
Thank you
Damn my 1978 L72 400 4spd posi , all original gota be worth little somthing !
Kickdown is hooked up is music to my ears
That's one nice horn.
Thanks a lot man for an honest review...nice ride!
Aaaaand theres that yellow TA again. For sale??
…Miss my ‘71 Mustang Mach1. LOOKS like it had a Main Seal leak underneath that “roll-over” view..
Guess I’ll keep mine
Doah! T/A ain’t on the website! Musta went quick!
A W72 Pontiac 400 with an automatic.... thought the automatic only came with the Olds engine
Nope, 180 horse Pontiac 400. T/A 6.6 was 220 horse with chrome valve covers stock. 403 Olds was 185 horse ....cool cars then and now!
That was only in 1979. 78 was a different story
Mr. Bert Reynolds would be proud RIP
Iconic
Wonder if it will wind up in DC in the up coming weeks...need a bandit in the convoy!! lol.
Nice n clean for a 78. Horn should work.
Dream ride
Clean Bird
Nick been watching you since the beginning, one of these days your gonna surprise me and put on that cowboy hat and have some Jerry Reed playing when you test drive one of these
Missing the correct splitter exhaust pipes and wrong call outs on the shaker. Should say 6.6 liter. But over a REALLY nice car and someone scored a great deal on it .
I know in 79 the 6.6 liter was a olds 403 engine, but the 6.6 liter in 78 was just the standard 400 with 200 hp correct? I know the t/a 6.6 has another 20 hp as well.
I know that engine only came with a 4spd in 79, but in 78 wasnt the automatic available with the t/a 6.6 220hp, just like with the 4spd???
Correct. The TA/6.6 was the call out for the W72 Pontiac Engine, 400 block with 6x9 heads , qudrajet 800cfm carb, high energy ignition, available in 78 with 4 speed or an automatic trans. Pontiac had a limited number of blocks left for 79 and only offered then on the 4 speed. The W72 was advertised at 220 hp for insurance and EPA purposes, NHRA treated the car in 78 and reported the hp at 265 .
They go quick 👍 Nick very nice ride 🔥 American muscle 💪
How u doing nick this is Joseph in hot springs riding shot gun with u have a good day
It’s surprising how much asking prices are for these ..There not rare at all ..GM made tons of them
beautiful car
Honey hush
Perfect, I dont like T Topps and had that nice Radio,,, I would Have $$ this one
News just in... world in trouble.... all oldtimer muscle cars should be scrapped and have the metal reused for high MPG cars
Eastbound and Down, loaed up and trucking were gonna do what they say can't be done...
why are you teasing us with this car if it's already SOLD? I get a hard on and and ready to move money around to go there and check that beauty out, but it says SOLD FAST
It leaks a lot of oil!!!!!
Good Morning My Good Little Bro Nick Southgate Of Maple Motors
Thank You My Good Little Bro Nick Southgate Of Maple Motors
Twenty thousand dollars is about eight thousand dollars too much
Guess thats why it sold in an hour
Too many of the 1970s trans am cars are automatics.
Yes timeless but way over priced for what you get ..I owned two of them years ago ..
You have a lot of nice cars and trucks but every single one of them has a lot of non working things on them , lol
Yes but they are 40+ years old
