    That's one gorgeous muscle car I'd love to own and make to be my daily driver! It's really a beautiful machine, with awesome upgrades to it. It would look really nice sitting next to my two first-generation Pontiac Firebirds! I own a 67 with a stock matching numbers 400 Pontiac engine under the fake 400 ram air hood. The other car is a 68 with the 400 engine but no matching numbers on the 68. Our 68 is purple with ghost scallops in the front, and my 67 was orange-red with yellow, white, and orange flames on the hood and fenders! I truly wish that I could give that gorgeous Smokey and the Bandit look-alike a wonderful new place to live in my garage!

    Hi. I don't know about power systems in American V8s, but wouldn't it be a better solution, with such a strong engine tuning, to assume MPI (multi point injection) instead of SPI (single point injection). I really don't know, but I think the EFI that was installed in this Trans-Am is just a variant of SPI. If I am wrong, then please correct me.

      I would say that it was the second best looking American car of 1978 (after the 1978 Corvette). There wasn't much competition at the time. The 1978 Ford Mustang II was a glorified Pinto; Chrysler had nothing other than the ho-hum Aspen/Volaré, and AMC's 1978 lineup was even worse looking than Chrysler's.
      Globally speaking, in 1978, the Ferrari 308 (GTB or GTS), Ferrari BB 512, Lamborghini Countach, Porsche 911, BMW M1, De Tomaso Pantera, and Maserati Bora are all better looking than a 1978 Pontiac Trans Am in my opinion.

The girls back then loved to go for a ride in that car. I only let two drive mine, the first got a ticket on her only drive. The second one stayed around for a few years until the end of high school. I remember packing them in on Friday and Saturday nights.

    Hey guys. I want to first say thar I love the work you do. I have watched a few classic build shows and I have to say that you're one of my two favorites. I also watched "Overhaulin" religiously.
    Now a little bit about me. I'm a 64 year old retired, 100% disabled Army Veteran from Houston, TX. I fell in love with the 1970 Chevelle SS when I was 19 years old. I had opportunity to drive one to a job interview. This is a true story. The interview was about 30-45 away from where Iived. The interview was scheduled for 3pm and it was 225pm. I made it in about 15 minutes. I was in love at point... The closest that I have ever come to owning one was 1970 Malibu I bought in 1980. I lost to an accident. Fast forward July 1988. I had just finish Basic training and came home got married before heading overseas. I retired in 2009 after 21 years. Body beat down and broken but still full of life. Without finding one at a dealership so I could naked payments, I probably would not ever be in a position to own one before I close my eyes for the last time. I said all that to say this, I never won anything worthwhile. A few hundred dollars playing bingo. So here's my question to you guys. Please keep me in mind if you ever decide to give away my dream car. What will I need to do to put myself in a position for that possibly happen. Keep up the awesome work you guys do!

      Thank you very much for your services in America. I love this country, and I really thank you for protecting it! You're an amazing person to beat yourself up for our freedoms.
      I hope you do receive your dream car really soon. Thanks again.

    The fastest car I've been in. A friend owned it. He drove ~140mph in a 40mph zone on Henpeck Lane in Franklin

    Such a beautiful car, wish I had a chance at winning a girl like that in my life while battling this cancer battle that I have to win for my adopted son that passed away last year along with my dear friend Gloria that passed away from pancreatic cancer that wound up getting to her brain sadly. I just lost my best friend and cuzbro on December 7th from congestive heart failure and than my dear sister Sheryl from catching COVID-19 while she was fighting severe pneumonia in the hospital. I hope you have a good day and thank you for all the great videos.
