These cars will always be awesome.When I was in high school we drove these and iron z Cameros now kids drive corollas.No thank you.Trans am may not be the fastest any,ore but ill take one anyday
This is likely a press car or a preproduction model because it has errors on the graphics. It's a turbo Trans Am, so it should say "Turbo Trans Am" on the rear spoiler and it just says "Trans Am" which would be for a non-turbo car.
@@Tiffany.1970 No, those are five color decals which were typical of 1980, not 1981 ('81 cars mostly had two color decals). Plus the rear vanity plate says "1980". This is a 1980 model year vehicle.
Darryl6636 GM killed Pontiac for several reasons. Not enough people bought them, they had to downsize their brand count and it came down to Buick or Pontiac getting the axe. Buick sold a ton overseas so Pontiac was killed.
@@superduty4556 it would of been a cascading effect. If GM went under, then 10s of thousands of other people who worked for GMs suppliers would of lost their jobs and that would affected the other car makers and dozens of other industries.

This must be a preproduction 80 Tubo Trans Am, look at the rear spoiler, all the 1980-81 Turbo Trans Ams like this one had an specific rear decal saying Turbo Trans Am
All Turbo Trans Am's said it on there rear spoiler. The hood is definitely a turbo hood, but this one just says Trans Am. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Had one in 1980. Turbo Trans Am. WS6 suspension, Tee Tops. Everything. The one thing I really hated on that car was the 85 mph speedometer. What the heck. They looked fantastic and could go through some tight curves but in reality it was a slug.
trans am its a big history in the cars world and i have to say there is no car like trans am and if we look to holly wood movies we will know that the trans am its the most famous car in amarican movies.in the i hope that from general motors to bring the legend back.
@brewcitybroker An old geezer in my 40's, LOL, your post went in all direction so i'll try to explain. In 1979 you could get the 400 4speed 220 hp,the 301 non turbo and the olds 403 185 hp. In 1980 and 81 is when they had the 301 turbo which were WS6 cars which were probably the best handling T/A at the time. In '81 you could get the chevy 305 with a 4 speed. If you want to drive a pathetic T/A drive a 1982 with a 305 auto.
Was the 403 6.6 gone in '80? In '79 it was the 'other 6.6', I got one of the few hold-over 400's in my 10th Anniversary. My girlfriend in high school had a Canary Yellow 403 with no T-tops. Sucky slow car, almost as bad as a 301 NA, about as good as a 5.7 litre chevy powered 4 speed Formula. Thanks for sharing this advertisement with Bill Daly. I had forgotten all about it over the last 40 years!
+LEATHER PANTS FETISH she shouldn't have gotta married exspecially to that glen Campbell that wife beater she was too much of a wild child to be tide down. I'll check that out
+BRENDAJASON1 Ohhhh yeah man she looked so hot on that cover I member goin thru a store seein her tnt album and I'm like omg this chick looks so fine on this cover. But yeah man check out my google plus profile I have 2 pics of her tnt album and yeah man that outfit she had on is such a turn on
Call me picky but imo the 80 was the best looking inside and out. I mean they got really pretty in 79 but the 80 SE's were astonishing looking. I love the 80 turbo phoenix decal but I don't really care for the 81 hollow non shaded bird. Coming from an 80 & 81 pace car owner. I'd love to get a tenth anniversary, swap on an 80 turbo hood, and use the 80 pace car hood decal. I've never seen it done and it would look epic.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the 70 to 73 is the best looking style of all Firebirds, and i believe a majority of all people would agree with me. Still the 79 to 81 T/A's are beautiful cars except that long and ugly front bumper. Not sure what the Pontiac designer was thinking about when he added this bumper.
@@sergiojacquez2277 nah, the 70-74 look awkward without having the bubble back window, they have cute little dinky taillights on the 70-73s and that goofy, cheesey smile on the front bumper... oof. Nah, the 79 tenth anniversary trans am is where it all came together. 79-81 y84 & y85 car or no car. Alot of people would agree with you but alot of people have whats called ordinary taste.
@@sergiojacquez2277 However, the best sales year of all time was, drum roll....1979, yup the first year of the "new" front end. So 200,000+ people disagreed with you (the number of Firebirds sold for the 1979 model year).
The front end of the 79 to 81 was designed to look good from a distance where you see the whole front end at more of an eye level. It really is awesome. Standing next to the car and looking down at the front end it can be thought of as ugly. I like to think it's so ugly it's cool.
This is not a 301 turbo car. After doing a little research, I would guess this commercial was made in California. The only engine that was available for California that year was the Chevrolet 305. The hood has a shaker which the turbo didn't have. The "turbo" wheels were an option that you could order even on non turbo cars. I recently bought a 1980 "turbo" but it must not have lasted long. It was replaced in the early 90s with a 454 big block chevy.
What are you talkin about, shaker hood. It clearly has the power-bulge hood, which came on the turbo car. And it is a turbo 301 car. Values on these "original" none butchered ones are increasing daily.
@@joequillun7790 Yep, 100% this is NOT a Shaker car, it has the Turbo hood with the bulge for that Garrett or Air Research turbsky that sat on top. Driver side rear of the bulge had the lights as I recall, Green for economy, Yellow for moderate and Red for beyond 1/2 throttle to WOT. Don't know what Ripvanracer was seeing there..
It has a turbo hood on it and appears to be a turbo car, however the rear spoiler decal is wrong as it should read "Turbo Trans Am" and it just says "Trans Am" which was for a non-turbo car.
My friend had one of these cars. ..A 1980......the part that sucked was it had the crappy 301 motor in it....No real horsepower....Take out the 301 and put in a high output chevy 350...The 301s were not fast 😆😆😆
@80s4U I don't think so.The 301 turbo had 210 hp vs the 305 155hp,they both were slow.I drove both cars when new when i worked at a dealership,the 305 auto in 1980 was pathetic.
You don't know what your talking about - person who says they worked at a dealership in 1980 - that makes you an old geezer - midniight savanah- the base engine was a 301 and 301 Turbo- hp isn't the end all be all measuring stick. Besides these were all about style. If you want to get in the HP game though in 79 they also used the 301 and the common 403 only had 185 HP-did you know that dealership sales hack?
Dannngggggg! Nothing like a Trans Am to make you king or queen of the trailer park! I can almost feel the mullet blowing in the wind with that sweet T top open! lmao.!!!!!! I would love to see a marketing campaign like that for an accord or camry.
I live 5 mins where that car was born well a 90% chance being Norwood assembly plant from 67-87 in more less Cincinnati Ohio. the Norwood assembly plant also sold all nomad bodies to arlington assembly plant from the firewall back completed bodies were done and put on a truck and sent to tx 55-59 belairs were in Norwood as well 60% where built here it's funny almost all the cars are worth anything that GM put together back in the day were built at the Norwood assembly plant here in Cincinnati Ohio and also we also build here big block novas with 40% of them were 396 427 from 68 to 72 until the Wildcat strike all big block orders cars were built in Norwood hurt G.M. willow run was building more or less the small block models. that is why the 72 Wildcat strike hurt GM really bad because not only could u not get the Camaros and Firebirds not being built Norwood was the only F body plant from 70-75 but all big block production in the Nova ceased because Norwood was on strike!! the last nova built there was Sept,10,1972 G.m. moved production back to willow run the home of the nova
@MidnightinSavannah Almost all American stock cars was pathetic,until 1995.(before was few shining and really beautiful car like Corv stingray, Camaro but before of 1975..and so on )What was ccm of TA 3l and 155hp (that was classical American wa..y never enough of CCM but consumption ratio what was...10Gal on 100Mh) But kids of that days in America was thinking about TA like best car in the world...and don't spoiled that..O.K
She rocks it as always. One of our underrated American singers, the best! She acts out the song and does her own choreography and it just works.
I'm lucky enough to own that car!

Wow! Tanya is so beautiful in this! Which is hard to outshine the Trans Am! A great commercial because of her!
This style of promo is straight out of the 1950s...the 20th Century really was another time altogether.

still a beautiful car today.. good styling
Love this!! I have a '79 and that baby is a beast.
Absolutely gorgeous! And so is the car!
That’s my favorite muscle car, my dad loves this one.
she was hot especially on her TNT Album
Bill Daily drove Firebirds on I Dream of Jeannie, too!
I wish they still made sexy cars like this. Now everything looks like it was designed in a wind tunnel.
Just picked up mine this weekend
Those are two sexy rides : ) Great post.
OMG SHES THE GREATEST OH MAN NO ONE BETTER EVER!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING HER TO US....
yeah she was something to look at back in the day member how hot she looked on her tnt album cover ?

Much better than that Lincoln commercial they keep cramming in my ear hole theses days. (Uhw, uhw, make yourself comfortable...🤨)

if only the pontiac banchee was produced then potiac would be the best ever
Love my '94 Formula!

You lucky girl you. I only had the Esprit model back then. (you know, the Rockford Files look)
Jim would be proud.Actually he only drove a 74' Esprit.The 75' through 78' models were Formula Firebirds converted to look like Esprit's

Not all Turbo cars were WS6 equipped. I own one that's not---my parents bought it new in 1980 and I have it now.
I don't care that it was only 220 horses, I wanna buy one! But then she could probably sell me mud.
That Turbo T/A is only 210hp. The mans T/A with 220hp and a 4 spd is the 1978-79 W72 T/A
Only 210? Sheesh, still! Tanya Tucker man! I mean seriously man she could possibly sell me dog s**t.
Dave L Haha. It's still a badass looking car though man. I'll give it that. But i'd take a W72 400 4 spd over it any day of the week.
Dave L LOLOL
+Mike H You could get a W72 with an auto early in the 78 model year. 79 it came with 4 spd only.
Nice T-A's.
I'll take one !
Back when cars had stunning styling but not much wind in there sails. But in all fairness even a Corvette was at it's low point in he early 80's.
you know what would make sports cars sell straight away ..... if you actually included a gorgeous blonde with the car
It's a classic commercial!
Queen Of The Stage......................
totally true, thats the reason why in our times everybody wants the second generation of Birds
Was class of 1980
I loved the firebird/trans am so much more than the camaro...i thought for the most part that the styling was off...lol
I concur I never understood why Camaro would not put some kind of chrome exhaust tips on those cars
