I Bought a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am - My Dream Car!
Вставка

- After over 10 years of searching, I finally bought my dream car.
A 1977 Pontiac Trans Am, nearly identical to the one in the movie Smokey and the Bandit.
Prior to buying this Trans Am, I spent at-least some part of every day of my life either talking about getting one, or scouring the internet to try and find one. I also would easily quote something from Smokey and the Bandit atleast weekly too.
That movie has impacted my life in many ways and I absolutely love it. It is my favorite movie of all time. Comment down below your favorite quote from the movie.
This 1977 Trans Am is finished in Starlight Black and has the gold decals.
I went with the non T-top car because I am not too fond of having the sun on me when I drive and I didn't feel like putting in inserts 24/7 for the T-tops.
I like the look of the hard top just as well too.
It is sitting on the original wheels and the engine is believed to be numbers matching. 56,000 miles on the odometer.
I am obsessed with this car and likely spend too much time just starting at it in the garage! LOL!
I found this car on facebook marketplace and felt like it had potential to be "the one".
My girlfriend Leah drove me up to look at it and I bought it and drove it back all in one day.
Summit Racing hooked me up with some of the suspension parts:

Stay tuned for more modifications and videos to come with this car as I turn it into the best version of itself.

Hoovies Garage made a video on a 1978 trans am 6 years ago, and aside from a few other miscellaneous ones, there is not much Trans Am content on the internet.
His video was: 1978 Pontiac Trans Am: WHY ARE THESE PRICED SO CHEAP?
Another UA-camr by the name of Worthless Whips makes some content with Trans Ams too actually.

What is your favorite Smokey and the Bandit quote?
You sounded a little taller on the radio.
give me a Diablo sandwich and a Dr. Pepper!
"What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law."
Have a SMOOOTH ride mr. Bandit..
"There's no way you came from my loins"
Just watched Smokey and the Bandit the other night for the 100th time. What a great movie and car! Enjoy it!
dude I am obsessed. I have watched it so many times too
AWSOME CAR MAN CONGRATS LOL PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THERE ONLY 200HP AND HOW SLOW THEY ARE BUT IF YOU EVEN LEAVE IT STOCK LOL IT SO MAKES UP FOR NOT HAVING A TON OF POWER JUST ON HOW GREAT THEY LOOK. AWSOME CAR MAN CONGRATS BROTHER.
@@Drive615Did you see the new one’s TransAmWorldWide are making? Converting Camaro’s into TransAms.
@@Drive615, congratulations brother! , That too is my bucket list car. Enjoy your ride brother. Blessings ! .
Just watched it last night. Never gets old. When I saw that movie in 77 I was 5. Instantly obsessed with trans ams, big rigs and cb radios
I JUST bought a darn near MINT 1977 Black & Gold Trans-Am last week. It's being delivered to my garage this week. I CAN'T WAIT to have as much FUN as you are having!!! CONGRATS ON THE CAR!!!!
What’s your Instagram?? I’d love for you to send me pics. Congrats!!
@@Drive615 It's tonycornflakes. The photo is the car the day I stopped by the showroom to see it. It's actually being delivered this week. We drove 3 hours south just to LOOK at it...well...I COULDN'T say no to NOT buying it.
@@Drive615 You got me into Instagram...I've NEVER used it before!!! HAHAHA!!! I am WAYYYY behind the times.
The '77 TA is my dream car as well!
Smokey and the Bandit baby!!!!
My adoptive father had a 1976 TransAm silver 6,6 Litre, like this when I was a child.🙀 Very nice childhood memories for me. Even with electric windows, not hand cranking!!! 😹👎
I am Mechanic and engine builder from Canada. Your car is absolutely beautiful, 15 years ago I built myself a 1978 Z28 with 700hp. I truly would have loved to have built what you have but could not find one at the time. I know what you mean about people coming up and talking to you that’s what it is all about😊. There were two 400 ci motors offered at the time you have the way better one of the two. Try to stay away from oil additives, if it is just the oil pan leaking and not the front or rear main seal you can try retorquing the pan but ultimately the car is way too nice just change the oil pan gasket, and make sure your crank case ventilation system is working properly put a new valve in they are cheap. Beautiful car enjoy. I have built hundreds of cars and yours looks in incredible condition, and just from your under the hood shot I can assure you that odometer has not rolled over. Cheers
amazing! 700hp is great!! that is what is about for sure! Thank you so much. I checked the crank case vent valve and it was all good. That would be amazing if it really only has 56,000. Do you have an instagram??
I am so happy for you. We have the same dream my friend, and I am glad that one of us has achieved it. Looks phenomenal!
Thank you so much!! Just keep working hard at whatever you do and things will fall into place. Just takes some time!
@@Drive615 Yeah
What a truly beautiful piece of automotive history❤
thank you so much!
At 22years old 1976 purchased Trans am 4sp 455 carousel red, now 69 yrs old still own it, power by BBC, in 77 Smokey and the bandit i fell in love with the new front in 1984 i changed to the 77 front i cant go anywhere without people sharing stories of the ones they had family or friend great find👍🏿
Amazing. Thank you so much. Congrats
Congrats man. Sweet vintage ride. Word of advice from us guys that build old cars from the ground up: no additives. Just fix the seal. Additives just cause other problems in the long run. I know it sucks, but you'll be thankful you did it the correct way.
Yup the only thing you get out of additive's is additional trouble. The plus side on a new gasket is knowing extra stuff isn't hanging out around the oil pick up, your oil psi will be more honest, and Hey NO leaks. It's also cheaper than a new engine. Bottom line Michael, you nail it.
Added some additive already. Ugh.
But going to replace all the seals now too
@@Drive615 you definitely are gonna wanna do all new seals at the bare minimum. Those cork seals like to dry out if they sit very long. I would start any old motor atleast once a week to cycle fluids. Less problems.
Absolutely. The only way to fix it is to replace it with a quality gasket. Fel-Pro is my go to brand. They are top quality.
Congratulations on obtaining a dream car. I have always wanted this exact car. I absolutely love it and you and your girl deserve everything good that comes to you. God bless.
Thanks brother! Hey, just keep at it and when the timing is right you’ll get your dream car
Sweet ride! Need to get the old Georgia Flag plate on there. I want to have a black and gold TA one day and I really hope to have a general lee, but I’ll enjoy my 74 TA for now.
I've never thought of you as a show off or anything like that. I enjoy all your videos and absolutely love Trans Ams. Congrats and have fun! 🙏
Thank you so much. I appreciate you
Hi Congrats on your Trans Am. I am almost done building my Trans Am and it’s been a year and it still feels like the first day I bought it. This car always makes me smile and I just shake my head and say is it really mine. I can’t explain how this car has filled a void in my life. I love it. Thanks to Burt and Hal for making Smokey and the Bandit.5
Congrats! It’s such an amazing feeling for sure. What color is yours??
My car is a 1980 non turbo car. It’s getting painted next week in starlight black and I purchased the whole gold decal kit from Phoenix Graphix. I love watching your video at least I know that I’m not the only guy in love with his Trans Am. It has also been an all time dream of mine as well. Enjoy it brother and thanks for that great video.👍
This was the first car I fell in love with at 4 years old and I still love it. I saw hoovie has one in his garage so I looked it up and found your channel. Congratulations man, love the car 🐦⬛💪
That’s amazing! So glad you found me too. More to come.
I fell in love with it at a similar age. Smokey and the bandit!
Hell ya your the bandit now, very awesome.👍👍👍
I'm 71 years old now, but in 1977 I purchased a 1975 Trans Am, Mint Condition, Automatic, Sterling Sliver Color, Black Interior, Honeycomb Wheels, 400 Cubic Inch Engine, Screaming Eagle on Hood, with 13,000 miles from a used car lot. Wow did I love that car. Everywhere I drove, non-stop people looking at the car. The sterling silver looked incredible at night. Ather two years of driving fun, the car was stolen. Stolen cars have always been a problem in Brooklyn, New York.

One of my all time favorite cars. I remember seeing one on the showroom floor in 1977 and thought it was the coolest car ever. They still look great some 46 years later! Enjoy!
Couldn't agree more!
Burt Reynolds is smiling down on you right now. 😁Great car. RIP Burt
Thank you so much

Congratulations! Beautiful car and Im glad someone owns it that loves them!

From the UK we can only dream about cars like this! Amazing Trans Am, you are lucky to have the roads and country to enjoy a long ride. We came close with a Capri but not quite the same! Enjoy it mate lots of memories to make
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW PROJECT. SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!!! I LOVE ALL THE UPGRADES!!! I LOVE THE PONTIAC FIREBIRD AS WELL. MANY HAPPY MEMORIES!!! MUSCLE CARS ARE ALIVE AND WELL IN 2023!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING.
Thank you so much John! Appreciate it so much !
there's not that many muscle cars left But the pontiac firebird is a popular car
It doesn’t have T-Tops , Bandit car had em !
I have a 80 without em trust me it still leaks 😂😂
Yes they leak

My dad owned 2. He was a motor dealer in Australia. He had the copper brown 76 model and a silver 78 model. I got taken to my 5th grade social dance at school in the 76. Forever remembered. I plan on importing one for myself before long, im nearly retired now. Tribute to my Dad, rest in peace mate.

What a looker - love it. '77 Trans Am was my first car that I bought when I was 15 years old in the late 1980s (go easy on my parents - I was a good kid, although I drove like I was in Smokey in the Bandit!). Favorite car, still miss it :-) Oh yeah, additives never really work well for oil leaks. I remember how close the pan was to the frame, and I have a memory of replacing my pan gasket one time but had to unbolt the block from the motor mounts and I lifted it up from the top a couple of inches using an engine crane which gave me enough space to work on the pan. Or you might be able to sneak in a floor jack somewhere on the transmission to lift up the tranny and motor and get some clearance (just don't crush the transmission pan). I think I popped on a set of headers while I was at it with a little bit of extra clearance, but it was a long time ago (35 years) so I may remember it wrong ... I had a 350, 400, and final motor was a 455 that I rebuilt with help from family members. Sold that car for $2K with the almost new 455 ... LOL shoulda parked it in a barn and kept it. Anyway, I love the car, looks like it is in A+ condition, I'm jealous!
Super cool story!! That’s incredible. Bet the bandit would be proud!! Hell yeah man. 10-4 good buddy
Same as me. In the late 80’s you saw these cars in used car lots, for sale in someone’s driveway, on the side of the road. Before the internet, we would have to hunt for cars or fine them in the Want Ads or Auto Shopper newspaper. Every Tuesday I would go to the convenience store and get like three different weekly papers that had used cars for sale. Man, have times changed!
@@MrWill73 So true, brings back memories, in the Waco Texas area in the late 80s we had a free classified newspaper called "The Thrifty Nickel" where you could find just about anything, including cars (sort of like a local Craigslist). Then you had the regular paper classifieds. But my favorite: Auto Trader. They had a nice thick print edition that covered much of north Texas and had page after page of Z28s, Trans Ams, and every muscle car you could think of.
@@AustinApologue Oh yeah! I remember the Auto Trader. I believe it came out monthly. Man we’re there some sweet cars in there back then. I remember there were dealers that had a large amount of 30s-40s cars that were complete but needed restoration. I may have a couple in my collection of car magazines that I started collecting in 1985. I learned how to wrench on cars from those magazines.
Happy for you. I know the feeling. Grew up with 6 of us driving 6 TAs from '77 to '79. 400s and 403s. You have the much loved TA 6.6 version. No t-tops is what I prefer cause car is much more structural sound and doesn't rattle. Muck luck and enjoy.
Thank you so much and yes. I love it. It’s my preferred version too.
Congrats!! That’s sweet
Hell yeah. Im buying a 78 firebird twin turboed here in a week or 2 so ive been watching firebird and trans am videos like crazy in anticipation
That’s amazing! Congrats. What color?
I had 2 77's back in the day. One an automatic completely stock, the other a 4 speed with lower gear ratio differential and a worked motor with 11:1 pistons and a 4:88 cam. That car was too much fun!
Congratulations on buying the most iconic car in history.
Thank you so much
The Bullitt Mustang comes to mind...but I do love those Pontiacs!
Your enthusiasm is what makes this video. Good job!
Even though I don't know you, I can relate and I am so happy for you. 😀
Thank you so much!! You rock!!!
Dude I feel like I came on a journey with you!! Thanks for sharing this!
thanks for coming along for the ride man! Can't wait to link up in Nashville!

Great car and I love your enthusiasm and love for the car. Thanx for sharing and congratulations on getting your dream car. Enjoy
Thank you so much. Appreciate that so much
Dude, congrats! I know how you feel. 77-78 SE Trans Am is at the top of my dream car list too. Enjoy the hell out of it!
Thank you so much! I’ll do my best!
This is the vehicle that sparked my interest in cars. It's my dream car as well. Gorgeous car man
You have my dream car. Two of my cousins had Trans Ams and it was part of my youth.
Enjoy, you will have a ball.
That’s so cool! Thank you so much. Happy Thursday!
Dude: I absolutely love your enthusiasm. Just a fun video to watch because I know exactly how you feel every time I'm lucky enough to get something special. I'm watching the Meccum auctions this month. They have maybe 5 of these for sale. Maybe I'll follow your lead.
Thank you so much sir. Really appreciate you! If you have the money, do it! Just know there will be leaks unless you fix the rear main seal
So glad for you man that you got your dream T/A....welcome to the club, I was the same...hooked from day one when Smokey & the Bandit came out...cheers from Aus👍🍻🇦🇺
Thank you so so much. Appreciate it. Best movie ever
So sick!! Congrats man happy for you!!
Thanks brother!! Just got to Manhattan
My friend had one that i drove and it was very cool! Enjoy . That is a bad ass car!!!!!
thank you so much
Had a 77' Smokey and the Bandit I bought used the early 80s for about $7k. Despite the leaky T-tops and pleather interior that really heated up in the summer....I loved and miss it. Enjoy your new baby!!! Definitely a car wash eye-catcher.
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
That was always one of my Favorite Cars since my Childhood. I remember back in the 2000-2010 those Cars was so Cheap, and nobody wanted them.
Today they are so Rare and Expencive.
Here in Germany the worst and cheapes one start at 20k.
Wow that’s a lot!
I am 64 years old, and I do remember the T A very well
Thank you very much for the video
Of course!! I’ll have more soon
Always wanted one of those back then!.fiance at the time said, no get a 4 cylinder mustang!! Well .i didnt end up marrying her, and ended up with a 82 z28 , 4 speed with a zr2 motor!! Lots of fun with that!! Congrats on the car!!
"Stay right here. Don't move. Don't play with yourself. You can think about it, but don't do it".
That’s a good one!
That’s awesome I am jealous. Remember that car when I was in high school.Movie was awesome.
Congratulations on your dream car!!
I bought my dream Firebird 42years ago and still enjoy driving it!!
No car like it.
Enjoy the ride 😊
Thank you! You enjoy too!
I liked your story about finding this car and the videos you are making. Congratulations. I love this car.
Thank you so so much.
How did you come across this video?
I had a white 77 TA. Loved it
Congrats man, a dream come true!
Agree thank you
Sweet ride! Keeper.
A gold dash and steering wheel would compliment the trans am .. she looks a nice useable trans am ........nice video thanks for the video
I had a '78 403, auto and LOVED it, then I saw the '79's with the T/A 6.6l Pontiac with a rock crusher 4-spd trans, WS6 package, T-tops, etc....THAT car was my favorite of all time....fast, fun, and a head turner for sure. I wish I still had it.....
Love it! You could always get another
Damn I happy for you . I love to see someone get that excited for cars like I do
Thank you so much!
Congrats nice to see dreams come true
Thank you
Owned one of these 30 years ago, best year with a grill & no T roof. Perfect.
Amazing!! So cool
Thanks for sharing. That was my dream car also! Enjoy it!
Right on!
Happy mother day to you
and same to you!
Saw Smokey and the Bandit back in the day and straight away fell in love with this car. Only problem is as much as I’d love to, I’ll never own one.
You might!
Sweet ride! Just watched Smokey and the bandit the other night!
Sweeeet
No need to say any thing just say excellent.TRANSAM
Love to see this man! Congrats 🏁
Thanks brother!!! Hope you’re well!
@@Drive615 likewise man
Hi, I can appreciate your enthusiasm man! I had an '81 Turbo Trans Am, black.. And I must say, I still dream about that car. Mine was pretty clean, but sheesh, yours is very nice. And yours has the 403 l believe? Mine was a 4.9 liter 301.. Even with Turbo, wasn't that fast. But yes, my dream car too brother! Congratulations!
Burt Reynolds loved this car so much. RIP
Happy for you man , real happy , I love them an yes they getting super expensive I wish Pontiac was still around an kept this cars molds an could make more , can u imagine how many would be sold if that was possible ,
The Bandit had T-tops, but you are better off without them. Congrats on your dream car!
Thank you so much!!
Props for getting one with the "hard top"! My first one had the hard top and my friend had the "t-tops", he always made fun of mine until it rained! 😂
Thank you for the props! Most people are like. Awww should have gotten t tops lol
Quality control was so bad in the seventies that some of those t-tops leaked right out of the factory
Hardtop cars are so much better to own imo. I have had both and the hardtop cars are tighter, don’t have rust damage from leaky T-tops and survived much better than T-top cars.
Congrats with the Bandit car. I watched the video 2 times😊. Its looks really amazing ❤ wow this is my all time dream car.🙏🏼🙌🏼 Greetz from Holland
Thank you so so much!!!
@@Drive615 welcome my friend 👌👍 enjoy the beautiful Bandit 😊😊
I had one of these when I was 17. It was screaming yellow, with black velour seats, and a 4 on the floor! It had the same 6.6 (400) bone stock. Don't know how you pulled off that smoky hole shot, with that detuned motor. I really enjoyed the car, had a lot of fun with it- however it was really not that fast. I had a 67 Mercury with a 390, and C6 trans, that would eat it for lunch. It did get a lot of attention, from the opposite sex, as well as the 5-O. I'm glad you found your dream car, and hope you enjoy it!
Thank you so much!
Too funny! That’s a great story. Yes not fast but fun! How did you come across this video? Im curious
Had the exact 1978 Trans Am… congrats to u .. 🎉
Thank you a ton!
I graduated from high school in 1979 and there were a few of these in the parking lot. They really stood out next to my yellow ‘66 VW.
Cool car! Congratulations!
Thank you so much
So happy for you.I love trans am.I put bird on hood of my truck.
That’s so cool!!!
I'm so jealous of you dude. Great buy.😎😎👍👍 congratulations 🎊
thank you so much!!
I’m currently looking for the same, drivable (not perfect) trans am. Was the first car ever to make me fall in love with cars. Yours looks great.
Thank you so much! Keep looking!
So pleased for you🎉luv from the 🇬🇧
I love seeing stories like this
Thank you so much!

It's not just your dream car.Its over half the Countrys Dream Car
True that. True that!!!
Car looks great man. Nice score!
Thanks brother! Appreciate it. Just subbed to you!
Not half pumped r we !!! Gotta luv it. They r a wok of art like the 70-73 Camaros. I have just found one in a garage and put a do u want to sell sign on it. It’s a basket case barn find but u can still appreciate those beautiful lines. Very happy for u and very jealous at the same time. Im in Oz so they sent exactly thick on the ground here ! If I can get this resto one cheap, say 10gs aus I make myself afford it . Thanks for the great video guys . What would we do without the tube👍👍👍
Thank you so much!!! Appreciate you. Keep up the hard work and you will get exactly the one you want
This just makes me smile and gives me confidence I will find mine also. Definitely my dream car since I was a kid and saw this on TNT in the late 80s. 😅
You will! Just be patient!! 💪🏼
such a beauty i can only hope to own one someday. definitely my dream car the black and gold is so beautiful.
Nice ride man...congrats! Njoy
Thank you sir!
That's a fine car to have fun with. Back in the day I had a 1978 Bandit that looked a lot like yours. Mine had a 1973 SD 455 installed previous to my owning it. Fun car! Enjoy yours. 😎
Thank you so much! That’s great you got to own one too!
@@Drive615 This inspired me to plug in the "Smokey and The Bandit" for a trip down memory lane. I had a ton of fun with mine.
So cool to get your dream car, I absolutely love all 02 gen TA’s👍
Thank you!! And yes Me too!!
HAPPY FOR YOU 🙂
Thank you!!!!
Love the movie!....love the car!....congratulations and God Bless!
Thank you!!!
Omg,you are so right man!!love your car,I have a 77 in red!! It was love at first sight for me lol😃
Thank you so much!! Glad to hear it.
You are living my dream!!! Only a former TA owner understands why u couldnt catch your breath to make this video!!!
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it. Hey curious, how did you come across this video?
Searched for trans ams (you were about 5th on the list)
Just bought a 1979 y84 SE at the Mecum auction in Indy. It's lot S95 if you want to see the pics. My dream car as well. Congratulations. I know the feeling. Crazy. Like kids again.
Looks nice, the snowflakes look like they could do with a respray and your headlight surround is black instead of gold like the one in the movie. Happy days ahead 🔥🔥
Exactly how I'd feel if I managed to get my hands on one of these! Beautiful car.
Thank you so much!!
Kool man!
thank you so much!
Nice!...When I was 18 years old I had a1979 Firebird Formula, to this day I'm still pissed that I ever got rid of it.
I'm with you 💯 percent
Thanks a lot!!
I never forgot this car. Back then my grandfather had one and would drive it around and to the store and this Car was always cool. He had it black with the gold Eagle on the hood.
that is amazing! what city?
@@Drive615 It was Florida in Opa-locka by the Opa-locka Airport .. neighborhood
Amazing car
Thank you so much!
