    Randy I have that same engine in my 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. When you hear the 3800 engines rattle like that upon start. You have to alway check the coolant level, since they're notorious for having cooling issues. The fact that the Monte didn't have any air conditioning means that it need a water pump, thermostate and quite possibly radiator fans. Due to the fact of the engine being ran hot for being low on coolant. Trust me, I just did a water pump and thermostat on my Grand Prix and it runs beautifully, compared to what it did before. Which is just fricking perfect.

    I *LOVE* these Run & Gun videos! It really connects you and the audience in what it takes to make one of these Copart videos.
    Also, it's too bad the F-150 is sold, it looked really clean! Plus the 5.0 is one of the most reliable V8s Ford produced!
    I'm also hoping you get the Monte Carlo SS! It's a cool looking car!!! I wish I could say the same for the Firebird, but that's going to be a large project for sure. It's still cool looking nonetheless!

    Those 3800 series engines are very reliable and strong you can really rack up the miles with those engines, we have a Pontiac Grand Prix and it has over 250,000 miles on it and it runs perfect and continues too. if you were to find one that is is good shape with somewhat lower miles you should get it cause those engines really can last for a long time and again good for racking up the miles.

    Thats a clean 82 Trans Am. It has the turbine gold wheels, that came with the wheelcovers (like in Knight Rider)
    That is not bad condition, so long as the floors arent rotted. Theyre easy to work on , and parts are starting to be available once again. Im starting on an 85 revival, restoration. Mine is a manual though

      @JB91710 I understand what you're saying. There were some cars i wanted to see more in depth. If it was a live stream, we could reach out in real-time. That's why I said that I want to find a Copart near me. I would love just walking around the lot at my own pace.

      @micahhaywood9936 One way they make money is through the number of comments they get. If he shows us a lot of cars, he can ask us for our choices and then do another video on them. The bottom line is that they make money by keeping us interested and coming back.

    The last turbo for several years was in 1981, last of the 2nd generation cars. The shaker sat in front of the driver and not the center, and had lights in it to indicate turbo boost. The 3rd generation T/A had the shaker on the driver's side for the 82-84 model years.
