73-74 had the same front end, at least my 74 Formula did. Good catch on the Dash though. Formula had wood grain and my TAs all had metal turned dashes. Regardless, this car is set up very nice! 😎
Anyone else notice, a price was never disclosed on this vehicle? Not here, on the lot video or the windshield. I'll guess this was claimed well before it left, and the videos were "eye candy" for the public. One note, is the torque converter is too tight for that cam! Hence the banging when put in gear.
My first car in 1980 was a beautiful Verdant green, white interior, white vinyl top, '73 Grand Prix with 400 4BBL and dual exhaust that Dad bought new. I'll always love the Poncho's.
You really do a thorough walk around. Would feel you are fairly honest and that’s hard if not impossible to find in this business. Keep up the good work. Nice ride!
Who ever built that car poured their heart into it. Most likely they needed the money and had to sell it. I would jump on this particular car. It’s done right!
Its a 1973 front end, I believe its a 1973 much better looking than the 1974 plus Trans Ams only had the single hood scoop in the middle of the hood I know its a 73 I had 2 of them plus its not a Trans Am hood. but its sweet
That is one sick street machine. The steering pull to the left. Try swapping the left front wheel to the right and see what happens. It could be the tire cord starting to separate.
That was a badass TA. I think you were having fun driving this guy lol. You sure do have a good gig driving all those nice cars. I’m a Trans-Am, Camaro, Firebird fan myself
I had a '74 Trans Am in my high school days, it was a 400 4spd car when I got it but got my hands on a rare 428 Pontiac and made a swap. The front header panel on this car is off of a '70-'73, I do prefer that front look to the '74-'81. It really draws attention to the car at first glance with the '74 Formula 400 hood. Great video Nick, really sweet ride.
@@winteroutside7014 455's were a dime a dozen and most you will find are low compression post 1970 model, 428's were not and try to find one now is almost impossible. It worked great for me in 1984 as a high school kid, '68 model 428 already had good compression and heads so change the cam and valve springs better intake and carb headers and better ignition system (Mallory back then) and got street racing.
I've always loved the bullnose front of these Firebirds the style and aerodynamic...... shape and the forward facing hood Scoops such a lovely look in a rear view mirror 😃😄👍 the cut outs on the hood I'd have added some aftermarket hood vents than have the hood cut in the way it was done it has runied the look of this (1970s ....Pontiac Firebird ) also noticed the 1974 Firebird did not have this front nose cone it would have had the sloping version this front nose cone came from a earlier Firebird
@@chriskilroy540 here here I agree totally or could have made a hood scoop with vents around this Eddie numpty spaghetti seems jealous saying the early Firebirds sucked it's clear this fool has no clue or knowledge of these 70s muscle cars .........lol clearly this fool knows nothing about the Firebird wonder what this fool drive's a hairdryer car or a 3 wheeler reliant 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
My dad (from Hendersonville) bought a 1967 Firebird convertible in 1968, 326 automatic, all original, matching numbers, meticulously restored. I grew up with that car (I was 6 when he bought it in '68)... I love old Firebirds and prefer the factory originals but... the supercharged 454 sounds really sweet... makes for one fast bird.
Nice 👍 I loved that ‘67 I had at 16 first car $500- no lie rusted out not many regulations for earlier rusted out vehicles then came mid seventies- wha-wha-wha
I'd just went .60 over and then stroked her to 502, Dish the pistons for boost, if that way it would be 685 to 725 (estimation) as it is with that 460... I'm sure it's over 600.
I'm in Newberry, South Carolina. Have a 71SS Chevelle that was my first High School car. A friend trying to buy it. I told him to look yall up n u would hook him up with a nice ride. If I'm ever up your way I'm coming by and meet u in person. Have a Great day . Thanks !Joe Moore
Appreciate the video, probably owned the majority of the Mopars you have sold over the years since high school. I would love to find another '71 Duster, my favorite, among others. I may have to buy another one from ya, maybe even sell you a couple in restoration process. Thanks again!
Very nice ride Nick, appreciate your videos. Always look forward to them. My girl said i am obsessed with your channel and i watch it too much,she said make a choice,her or your videos. Man i had her stuff packed up in 20 minutes flat. 😂 Be safe on those test rides.😎
@@PaulRhodes420 😂😂 I feel ya bro. I do the same especially with the Chevelles,Nova's and Camaro's. But i like all the muscle cars,each manufacturers have their good and bad.
@@nimrodrebirth7703 Never in a Trans Am, only optioned in a Firebird, in 1968 was the first known as the L76 350 HO. *very rare" then again as base model firebirds starting in 1970. In 1970-1976 Trans Am's had the 400/455/HO(SD) motors. 1977 had 350,305 Chevy and Ponty motors in the Firebird, and 403 only for Trans Am's.. point being, Pontiac never made a 350 for the Trans Am.
You All Know back in the 50s 60s 70s and the 80s some muscle cars were slow and some were fast and now today in 2022 all muscle cars are fast like this one 😎
Hello Nick nice car I'm 64 years old I bought my 1988 Pontiac trans am GTA new I still have my car it's radical now I'm happy getting the trans am GTA painted it needs it gonna keep it rebuilt the engine for high performance and running 106 VP racing fuel love the smell of the ⛽ gas and I'm a burnout kinda guy transmission locked out I chirp every gear enjoy your day today Nick thanks again
that's badass car, i love the channel. it takes me back to my teenage hotrod days. i owned a '68 chevy shortbed 454, 2 speed and a '67 chevelle factory 283, 3 speed.
Looks like a 70-73 nose on a 74 body. Still a baddass ride. Back in 78, I was supposed to graduate HS. My Father took me to one of his buddy's used car lots. There was a "71 Trans am 455 SD sitting there off to the side. Red with black interior... like new condition. He told me thats my car when I graduate in two weeks. I was sick to my stomach because I knew I wasnt going to graduate. 1/2 credit short. I never told him. He told his buddy to sell it to someone else when I did. He was getting the car for a wholesale price of $1600! Lesson learned! :(
I played along and imeadiently guessed the will horn work because there were too many intricate details done to the car. Wow nice fast quarter mi car love that year firebird nose, although thru the years I like them all. Fortunate to have a 1969 (California) firebird & a 1977 (Arizona) trans am Both years so different and I loved em both. PS for possible idea in future now that vegas betting is on line it would be wild to bet win or loose on the vintage car horns? Just saying its fun 👍😁
Nice trans am ,love the body style that's my era, super fast 👍good video Nick, from monroe North Carolina and you know its fast when it makes a grown man giggle 😂😁
Hooked on these Maple Motors videos, I'm gonna get one im sure but every time i find one i like another one comes out i like better now im thinking if i buy one I'll have nothing to watch
Also not a 74 front end , has a 70 - 73. 70 to 74 had small back window , 75 up has big window. 70 to 73 had chrome back bumber , and that back bumber is not a 74.
I appreciate going fast but that hood is a hot mess! It has the dual Firebird scoops but they cut into one to make room for the supercharger. You might be saying, “But they’re keeping the car period specific.” But hey, they pulled out the Pontiac motor and put in a Chevy! Why not use a Z/28 if you’re going to use a Chevy motor?
Nice paint job. I don't think it's a 74, maybe a 73. Need to see the VIN. Too bad the hood was butchered up. I have a 74 Firebird 350 with functional forward scoops and RamAir air filter housing.
The Po Po 5.0 is there for you Nick he meant to give you a speeding ticket 3 weeks ago and ran the cameras to see where that old school car was located at but little do the cop knows the car is already sold 😅😅😅😅😅
That thing is Frankenstein’d. Looks like a 70-73 Formula front clip and rear bumper looks like a 76 and later. I had a ‘74 Firebird with a built SBC. Pontiac guys hated me.
My thoughts exactly. More like a platypus - nose and tail don't match the body. I'd like to see the OEM paperwork as there's nothing T/A on it body or interior wise. No front air-dam, no front fender air holes, dash is Formula optioned spec, missing T/A options. Manual windows... My guess is a Formula was the bases of the build. Love what they did with the exhaust piping underneath and the beefy rear traction bars. Not a Pontiac engine but that Chevy is a solid engine and easy to find parts for. And I actually preferred my "Shovel head" 74 front end with the rubber bumbers. They were great for knocking shopping carts and road blocks out of the way...😉
74 and back to 70 had the small rear window...no one caught that in my read of comments, but you are right. The nose isnt right cause its on 76 up fenders to match the shell and they wont bolt tight on newer fenders. Said the fenders were cut out,but its the metal inner fenders are just missing. Still...I know Id drive it just as much as my 2000 real ram air with 54,000 miles!! (also procharged and lovin it!!)
Like people are commenting. I'm 60 years old now. We got these cars for dirt cheap in the late 70's early 80's. Thanks for the memories. 🙂

74 Formula, TA dash, 73 nose, 76 rear bump. Better with Orig Pon400&4gear. Very nice Camero😎

Should have kept it all Pontiac. I hate when people put Chevy engines in other GM’s.
Man what a sweet ride. Love the fact he just said f it and cut the hood out instead of getting a huge hood scoop. Sounds great too.
In 1969, back from my jungle trip, i purchased a1969 Mach One, 428, 4 speed, shaker hood. $4,200 OUT THE DOOR!!!!! Bought it with saved up COMBAT PAY.
Anyone else notice, a price was never disclosed on this vehicle? Not here, on the lot video or the windshield.

Now you’re talking and you’ve got my attention. Like I said, previously, you need to start having more of these cars.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...the most honest sales videos I've ever seen. I will be buying from Maple Motors soon.
My favorite generation of Trans Am. I remember Ponch having one on CHIPS and it would get stolen or blown up.
