Anyone remember the 10th Anniversary TA with 7.9 miles and a real 400 in 2016 (when the economy was much stronger) for 187K at Barrett Jackson? Some of these comments claiming this car is only worth 50K LOL!
They don’t know what they’re talking about
Cool video guys :) Thanks for sharing. We miss this car!
Absolutely stunning car
Absolutely beautiful car
Freakin awesome car!!!
So beautiful, very nice.
An absolute classic. Thought it would go for much more than 200k .....😮
Agreed
Not a bandit not that special
@@Jeffgordonfan24hesthegoattoday a black Trans Am no special edition is more rare than a Bandit. Get tired of black and gold Trans Ams
@@tonidmc but it’s a basic 403 really nothing special
@@Jeffgordonfan24hesthegoat a lot of special. A brand new 1979 Trans Am...
Sweet ride!
Nice car !
Crazy
im 16 yrs old, I get to my gf's parents house and there sits a brand new 79 trans am and a brand new 79 jeep wrangler. 15k bought both.
Damn i though it was gonna sale for a lot less i thought 50k
Kudos to the camera man
He understood the ass-ignment.
2:06 what about the T-Tops?
my 75 listed for 6300.00 - for a reference
"SOOOOOLLLLLLD!!!"
DAMN SKIPPY!!😮😮😅😊
I am a 2nd gen T/A nut. I owned around 20 77-81 cars. This car was not worth 200k.
Sum ting wong
No a ta if it doesn’t have t tops
The screaming chicken?
Is beufer on drugs?
185 Horsepower 😂😂😂joke
have you heard about torque... the low end on this old V8 is fabulous.
If it wasn’t for the trans am you wouldn’t have the cars you have today, all the other auto makers stopped making sports cars except for the vet, when they saw what the trans am was doing they started making them again , hence the trans am is the grandfather of todays high performance cars
“The car isn’t worth more than blah blah”
Spoken like a member of the broke boys club like the rest of us. This is Barrett Jackson first of all. The people there have money. **** you money.
Second of all if you’re buying a 50 year old car for performance you’re an idiot. Most likely this car is for nostalgia and whatnot.
There are minivans with more horsepower than these old boats but they’re much better to look at and great for Sunday cruisin.
Badass but not worth a dime over 50 g
I guess you are CLUELESS to classic cars and prices.
That's a really ignorant comment. Really ignorant.
@@atg1338 naw you are 😂 200k for a non bandit not even anniversary car 🤡
@@Jeffgordonfan24hesthegoat Not a Pontiac 400/4 speed car, not even a t-top or WS6 car. And they made over 117,000 of these in '79. There's nothing rare or special about it other than having low miles. I never thought I'd see the day when disco-era Firebirds/Camaros would sell for this much. They're barely performance cars.
Too bad it only had a measley 178 ponies
403 Cars are Junk.
I agree the best engine's in the Pontiac are the 400 engine by Pontiac or the 455 super duty
The 403 Olds Motors were Station Wagon Motors. I am replying to Myself.
@@Tiffany.1970 Aaw! If I could get a 1973 455 SD Block. But I would Settle for either a Kaufmann or Butler Aluminum Small Journal Block.
I wouldn't say the cars are junk just the engines g.m used to install into the Pontiac firebird trans am surely Pontiac could have had a rethink on powerplants ie engines to use for example the dodge charger with the 440 hemi or the 383 engine .....lots of choices......
@@Tiffany.1970 No, You are correct the Cars with other than Pontiac Motors are not Junk. That was a comment in Protest on GM/Pontiac's Financial and Government Forced Smog Regulations Inspired Choice to use the Light Duty, Thin Wall Casting, Low Horse Power 403 Door Stop Smog Motors in Firebirds. Particularly Unsuspecting Trans Am and Formula Buyers. Regardless of a 6.6 Litre (T/A 6.6 POSER) Sticker on the Hood Scoop the Motor out of the Box was a TURD. There were virtually No decent Off The Shelf Hi-Performance Parts available for it. The Block could not be Bored over 0.30" or would handle Hi-Horse Power Stress Reliably. The ramping Up Government Smog Regulations of Corrupt Politicians Pandering to the Wacko Green Liberals Destroyed what the Market/People Wanted as far as Powerful Engine Choices for These Cars for Years. Bosch/GM Fuel Injection Finally Safe Them. Much like Our Politicians these Cars need a Transplant, but Engine Not Brain. You don't Buy a Legendary Hi-Performance GT Muscle Car to get a Smogged Out Lame Station Wagon Motor and then have to Buy or Build a Whole New Motor to replace it just to go Fast as the Car was Designed and Intended to do. Also many of the T/A 6.6 WS6 W72 Car Performance Parts did not come on most of the Olds 403 Cars, like Heavy Duty Chassis Braces, 4Wheel Disc Brakes, Posi Rear with 3.23 or 3.42:1 Gears, Borg Warner T10 Close Ratio 4 Spd Trans with 2.43:1 1St Gear, The Larger WS6 W72 Front and Rear Sway Bars with Nylon Bushings, HD Large Capacity Radiator and probably some I forgot about but the list goes on. You want to know how they all should have been then ask anyone who has ever gone for a ride in My 79' T/A 6.6 WS6 W72 4 Spd Car that unfortunately just after purchase New in 79' Lost it's Smog Equipment, Overly Lean Car Jetting, Closed Hood Scoop, Catalytic Converter, Retarded Distributor Advance, 192 Degree Thermostat, Intake Manifold Carb heat Crossover in a Terrible Boating Accident. 14.49 Seconds at 101 MPH at Orange County International Raceway in the Quarter First Run and that before any Cam, Intake, Ignition, Carb, Head Shaving and Porting or Major Exhaust Mods that put it into the Low 11s. A Standard 403 couldn't live long doing that if at all. But a Pontiac Motor Could. Sticking a Olds, Chevy or Buick Turbo V6 Motor in a T/A is just Heinous, Disrespectful and Bad Business. Long Live Pontiac Traveling at 10 Feet Off the Ground, Just Below the Speed of Sound and with the Shiny Side Up.
