      I had a '67 Bird with the Sprint 6 OHC w/4 bbl Qjet. I spun the bearings in her, so completely dismantled the engine, right down to hot tanking, .030 overbore, new pistons/rings, turned the crank I believe it was .010 under, hand assembled everything, balanced and printed her to the best of my ability using about a gallon of STP along the way (lol). When I got it all done, I figured she was running about 250 cubes. I broke her in real nice, magnetic oil plug, oil changed at 100/500/1000/3000 miles. Took her out on I94 south of Eau Claire, WI, my home. The cop said he scoped me at 137 mph. He wasn't much older than I was and asked if he could see under the hood. Long story short, I went home without a ticket but a great memory and a new friend. Remember, this was 1974. I sure miss that little Ponchoand would give my left you-know-what just to have the bird above. Evven for a day. Thanks for letting me share one of my best days. Stories? I got a bucket full!!

      I guess maybe they could bring it back if they dropped Buick or GMC but tbh modern GM cars are very plastic-ey i mean in my personal opinion when i get up in the morning and look at my 89 Caprice and 95 Camaro and see a Chevy Malibu or a Kia pass by they all have the same DNA but looking back at my Caprice with the chrome bumpers and chrome trims everywhere and hear that Small block i honestly don't see myself jumping into the new school unless i wanted an economy car to use as a daily and even with economy i might get an old Tercel it's not a GM but you know what i mean only thing i like about modern cars is how you can connect your music easily lol, Plus i dont think GM have the cojones to do something crazy they could many things with the Buick like bring back the Skylard and compete against the Dodge Challenger of course they thought about it but i guess the market wants more of the Kia DNA and that's what they are doing i mean look i heard they got a 4 cylinder Mustang imagine pulling that back in the 60s-90s lol

    I ordered my Trans Am from the factory in ‘77 with the TA 6.6, manual 4-speed and “Hurst Hatches” t-tops in the dark brown w/gold hood eagle/pinstripes and “German” style lettering decals. Soon after “Smoky and the Bandit” hit the movie screens and everyone was buying the black TA’s. So thankful I had went with the dark brown metallic. It was a sunny June day when I first rolled down the main street of the small town I grew up in Wisconsin, and I can tell you that EVERY head, young or old, turned when I cruised by at 20 mph in 1st gear, with the sun shining through the open hatches and the priceless looks on people’s faces as I drove past. I can only say it was a moment in time I’ll never forget!

I'm a Camaro gal thru and thru. But this Car, Gave me chills, and makes me want to go out and play with my 69 SS 396. What I would do to own one of these. But yes I'm aware they are already all claimed. It's probably a good thing only 50 are being produced, can you imagine all the dead rich fools we would have if they released these to production for more then the 50 ordered. This is one bad ass Car, coming from a forever Camaro Girl.

    Awesome car. I would love to see how this would evolve into a production car. As it is, it seems really conceptual and more like a resto mod type creation where the nostalgia is so big that the details attemping to be brought back to life are too literal and not abstracted and evolved. I love what they have done. Would love to see more funding and developement to see what a trans am would have evolved to be.

    Growing up on Long Island NY I remember a neighbor who had the original 1969 Pontiac TransAm and a 1973 455 SD TransAm both in White. Those were the days! This new car looks great and brings back many childhood memories of people and places. I remember the 1973 455 SD well...even 45 years ago with the crappy tires of it's day, it still managed 0-60 times as low as 4.9 sec.

      kdjz68 you're right on that. GM bailout came during a massive economic expansion in China. Chinese can't get enough of Buicks, and their export sales skyrocketed. GM brass tried to make a case to the government for saving Pontiac, but in the end it came down to numbers. It was a decision made from the wallet and not from the heart.
      PS. I heard that GM's plan for Pontiac was to make it like a domestic version of BMW... mostly rear drive cars like the G8 and what became the Cadillac ATS. Too bad.

    • @TorchicNidoran1994

  • @Silverado1st
    @Silverado1st 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Me and a friend in 5th grade, every time we heard that TA rumble, we'd rush over to the windows to watch it fly by and we both made a pact that one day we'd both own one. Not sure who had there's first, but in the Army around 1987 I picked up a '76 4 speed with a 454 SD that did low 12's at a 1/4 mile track in Hawaii. Two much power for that 20yr old and I wrapped the rear left quarter around a stainless steel light post. Rear windshield blew inward at the back of my neck, popped the driveshaft out, punctured the gas tank and shifted the chassis by 3 inches. My friend bought an '80 model after getting hit on the head with a brick and suing the pizza place he delivered for. He ended up selling years later to cover his business expenses. When I got off active duty in 1990, I bought a '79 10th anniversary limited edition Bandit style off my towns retired police chiefs daughter. Kept it riding proud and turning heads for 17 years, everybody and there brother wanted that car. Cops pulled me over every opportunity I handed to them on a silver platter and because they all thought the police chiefs daughter still owned it. Due to bills an unfortunate divorce and a blown heater coil pissing all over the floor board, it ended up in storage for the past 14 years. Now the rusted hulk with a rebuilt 403 sits in front of my house under cover waiting for my decision to junk it, part it out or give my last gallon of blood for one final dance. As a disabled retired OIF combat veteran, ex-mechanic, the odds aren't in favor. I figured maybe picking up a few new tools and watching some vids, hearing that engine roar to life again might be worth an effort. Thank you for the awesome vid :-)

    The new look is growing on me, although it did take a while. If Buick was smart, they would work with you guys and use that same engine to bring back the GSX 455 Stage One. Or an updated Grand National, either one would suffice. I appreciate all the hard work all of you do to bring these once in a lifetime gems to us. I just need a winning lottery ticket. THAT is a tall order.

But never got pasted the use of a 2nd gen TA as my ball of clay. And when I dreamed of designing a new TA. I wanted it to be the crazed love child if a 2nd gen TA and a Viper. But since GM did give us a camaro. That would make perfect since to use that as a base. Your car is a true super car. I would like to see more road course stuff with it.

This was in 81 and he was a complete dumbass and totaled the car. Ive hated him since because thats when I fell In love with the Trans Am. With that said, as much as I know that all TA's were built on the camaro platform, and this creation is beuatiful, I could not have one knowing I would have to title it as a chevrolet Camaro. Just sinful.

    I absolutely LOVE that new style. I've watched the drive episode like 10x. My dream car, well one of a few trans ams. I really want an Outlaw like nobodies business. Just seeing this new trans am brings tears to my eyes. I'd love to see one in person.

    Have any of these continuation cars been track tested? 0-60, quarter, stopping, actual road coarse testing ?
