-

Nothing im burnt out on them. they are great transams.
-
haha i was jus playin around to be honest i was seriously thinkin about putting on a 78 nose on my car but then she wouldn't be who she is so i decided to stick with my 79 some day ill do a nice 71. i really love the 69 trans ams even though they don't look anything like any other TA"s that rear spoiler on them looks so cool. id have to go with what everyone else does and do it up white with blue stripes
-
re: kjkjkcjkcj I will have to agree on the nose swap,keep it original dave.
-
good find dave!! I wish i could find a few dozen to have laying around

Too many transam/firebirds so liittle time to find homes for all these fallen transams/firebirds.
-
yeah i know but just think about it if everyone starts fixing them up then we will not have any parts cars and refinishing a car would be a multi million dollar project
-
RE; kjkjkcjkcj Look at it this way ,if your kid say's.DAD i wish i had a transam like the one you had when that pic was taken of me and you.?????????. think what would you say or do.
-
well first off a single tear would fall from my eye and i would feel like the proudest dad in the world knowing i brought my son up right. i know what your sayin though. i would be a happy dad i guess and get him one asap.
-
When my little girl is ready to drive she will have a restored 68 firebird.

That's great dude. I'm 17 and I love my 78 Formula a lot. Can't see myself in any other car. :D
-
RE: Anastasiofan92 That is the coolest. I have 2 formulas and i allmost bought a third one. I had to pass , i regret it every day i really mean that dave.
-
Now how come you became a pontiac guy anastasiofan92 why didn't you stick to mopar with your dad. a car i kinda wanna do is an old dodge challenger. i think they look so nice
-
i wish i could do up a 69 superbee or a 69 charger but i know that will never come.
my daughter loves my old y88 but most of all she loved my redbird and wanted that to be her first car. my 2 year old thinks almost every old car is a trans am but he infact knows the 2nd gen t/a's when he see's them. my 5 year old wants a 78-81 z28 he likes the front better in his own words. I know of a guy who has a 80 or 81 z28 for like $200 i have thought about buying it to have laying around for him when that time comes but hey he's only 5 and has 10.5 years to worry about it yet. My 2 year old did tell me that my 85 cutlass is his though.
-
RE: Those darn kids they want those antiques,classics,car's rich tastes.
-
you know somethin i know hes only 5 but if you can afford it and the car is lagit and not rusted to no return id buy it. i remmeber going down into my basement into out tiny old garage that you could bearly open the doors to get into the car just so i could sit in it and play with all the knobs and the secret yellow button in the glove box that made missles fire out of the front of the car. he would be stoked and sit in it all the time. i loved havin that car in the garage and i couldn't wait to the day when we pulled it out and i fired her up for the first time. what i could wait for was the amount of money i was going to be putting into it. id tell hiim to start saving his birthday money

Ya done a good thing there son. An SE w/Hurst tops - it don't get too much better than that. Good luck on the project...!!!
Enjoy!
-
cool car. great find. Hopefully there will be enough T/A's around for my kid when I have one that is. Theres just something about these cars that makes everyone love them.

RE: justinh4578 I am not planning on parting out this starlite blk transam.
-
RE: justinh4578 I am nt planning on parting out this starlite blk transam.
I certainly would hope not.

I have seen them in worse shape so this is a keeper,
-
i didnt think i suggested parting it out. I would always like to see them restored rather then parted out.
-
RE; I dont think this is a true se.THE
#s say its a ws4 transam 19 pnt code.
-
RE: kjkjkcjkcj Honestly i wish there was more people like me and you,in florida to take the drivers seats of more of fine rides dave.
-
RE: hammer I am very sorry i did not see all these responces. I will do my best to work with it. It say's its a ws4. i dont think it is an se?

Mopars are a lot more expensive aren't they? Besides, my dad would never let me have his car, an all original 1970 Dodge Charger, original engine, original interior, only 47,000 miles... besides over the summer when I wanted a classic of my own this is what we found for the good price so this is what I got. Im glad I have it too, no regrets.
-
well thats good you have a very sweet car and i couldn't agree with you more about mopars being so bloody expensive to restore. i never understood why my thought was purely becasue they had a hemi motor and everyone wants one of those i dont car who you are. id love to have an old hemi motor those were the balls
-
I guess ill need to find a pontiac 400 for this transam.

I sold this car easter morning. guy came to look at another transam,and wanted this one instead. He will restore this baby.Looks like another home found
-
right on. Did you tell him about this cool site? Maybe he will keep us updated on the resto

the guy i bought my brown 77 from on every single $100 bill, i put www.78ta.com on it but mainly out of curiousity how many it would draw into this website and to see if one ever comes back to me lol.
-
thats awesome.lol.
-

Yes i did let him know he can get tips ,andchat with others and swap pics and stories.
-
how do you find all these cars and then also find homes for them? I only know of three other trans ams around me.

mostly word of mouth and now and then people call me and ask me if im interested in another transam/firebird.I turn alot of them down as im limited to space.
-
yeah. word of mouth travels fast. Wish I had room for a few I saw at the junk yard that really arent that bad..they need doors and floors but its a start. Lots of firebirds in Pine Grove PA

Open up your heart and soul and they will come.

Hey Dave,
I live too close not to see these beauties. ;D
-
Hey Dave,
I live too close not to see these beauties. ;D
I find them all day long, Its a gift i guess
-
they used to be all over and now they are slim pickins around here. lets put it this way what used to be a parts car is now being considered for restore. there are a few around here but they seem to want way too much for them. some guys seem to think a rotted out shell with no motor trans and interior is worth $2500 for say a 79-81 ta. maybe they are now and im just not seeing it.
-
I know what you mean y88rick. My buddy and I found a 72 parts car for him and the old lady says she was $2,000 for it. We were polite and she just kept saying no. She thinks she has a rare car or something. Its a rusted out green/green interior,bench set colum shift,hunk of junk. Then there was this stingray that was actually sinking into the earth and the owner said its not for sale and never will be. Its his art now. I only know of one T/A. Its in the next town over. Its a 79 black one that has set in this guys driveway for over for years from the first day I saw it. They will all just rust away.
-
yeah then become worthless and these people think they are worth a ton because of what it once was and what barret jackson says a restored one is worth. but they fail to realize it takes time and money to fix them up to that quality and regardless a former rotted out one will never be worth what a low mile never seen winter taken car off all its life and then restored and trailered car is worth too.
-
That's why I don't watch these auctions, because it's totally ridiculous. These guys who buy them chiefly as an investment, not necessarily because they love the cars ( maybe they do) but because it's an investment. For me and my car, it's all about the trip along the way to get it the way I want it. I'm taking it one step at a time, trying not to get overwhelmed and enjoying it. I'm bad about ranting around here about this auction stuff, but that's just one thing that gets under my skin. I know this one time a guy posted here about wanting a "pristine super duty formula and such must be low miles for his consideration " that kind of stuff really bothers me, whatever, I enjoy my car my way, they theirs, that's cool I guess.
-
Thats right we are all different.If we all had the same cars that would be weird,i would not like that dave
-
This is true dave.

it got me com'n around hoping to see pics of my old bird ;D
-
RE: Cheapthrillb2 I believe that can really happen, I sold a 1973 fireBird,this scrap guy calls me and says are you interested in another firebird. I call him back turns out i sold that bird 2+years ago.I found the scrap guy a buyer and we sold it again. I saved that birds life twice.
-
good find dave!! I wish i could find a few dozen to have laying around
got some money ,i will hook you up dave.
-
ehh i have some lint in my pocket and a cutlass and a silverado to sell before i can buy more. i want to buy a 70-73 bird and a tata so that way i can complete the specific cars i wanted also a 69 to add to the collection of old sore birds would be nice. this way i can atleast have them before they are untouchable for me price wise.
-
THIS is the truth i cant replace my 68 firebird today for what i paid for it 8 years ago.
-
thats awesome.lol.
found a 79 transam with a 455 for sale.
-
THIS transam has been sold.THE way i see it is you try to help ,and some people don't want yor help so i say to everyone out there ,i am really sorry dave.

RE:Hammer he paid another guy to buy this other t/a or f/bird.THE man that sold him the bird wont give him the car without an add on fee wich was real high.He said he will take him to court to recover his money. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
