If I had the money I would own one in a heart beat!

7.0 displacement? Hrmm.
LED tails are cool, but Ive never been that big of a fan of the cars...

[Frosty]

Same here

[WayFast84]

I want those wheels, BLING BLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigAls87Z28]

I do want LED lights for the 72 now...real bad.

[LS1Hawk]

I've always like the '77-'79 T/As. Before I bought my Firehawk, I was actually looking around for one, but just happened to stumble onto my car.

:metoo: If I had the money I would own one in a heart beat!

[SteveR]

those wheels are hideous. And this line makes me hate it;

"The Burt Reynolds Edition Trans Am by YearOne starts at $129,900.00"

***** that. I'll buy a regular one for $5,000.

Yeah. Probably $30,000 extra since Year One has their name on it.

[Rich189]

[BigAls87Z28]

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!?!?!?!
BLOW ME!!

Yeah, that's pretty much a given that they would slap a Ferrari price tag on them. And I'm sure Burt's getting a cut :lol:

[SteveR]

BLOW ME!!

exactly. And thats the base price with the 450 horse heavy as hell and impossible to mod pontiac motor. The more I look at it the more I dont like what they did to it. The headlights look wrong, they took off all the badging and trim like the pontiac badge on the nose, and all the chrome trim, they put the fog lights in the front facia instead of in the spoiler where they looked good, the interior gold color looks awful, the seats dont match the car, the wheels are too big, and the number 1 thing that most second gen owners do... drop the nose down because the front spoiler looks like its two feet off the ground, they didnt fix that either. For that price tag I'd buy a Blue Devil and still have enough left over for a numbers matching original T/A.

[BigAls87Z28]

That plastic surgery and those hair pieces must cost some buck.

[Slo86Bird]

for 130k i could own a sublime green hemi 'cuda and piss all over everyones car thats on here:rofl:

[FBODS4EVER]

1976 50th anni edition? Ehh...Firebird didnt go onsale till 67, Trans Am didnt come around till 69. 76 would be 7th anni. 79 would be 10 years, 89 20 years, 99 30 years.

[BigAls87Z28]

ahhhhhhhh...gotcha.

[linkitup79]

it's missing the T tops and cb whip antena which is used to hang your hat when "frog" is jumping your bone.

[88BluBird]

The head lights dont look right..and i cant wait to see what the E-bay @ss hole-o`s do with none of these..starting bid for the first one will be at least half a mil easy.

[BigAls87Z28]

The headlights look to have a projector beem lense on the outside.

You are kidding... right?

[Slo86Bird]

hes not all there if you know what i mean.

[Tru2Chevy]

Eh....i kinda like it. Those wheels especially. Maybe they would be better if they were brought down to a 17" instead of 18", but I like them. The overall look is good, IMO.

wildbilly...nope.... a hemi cuda in the quarter isnt to fast stock.... 425 horse in a heavy car is the same as 225 horse in a civic..

as much as i hate hondas its true...

While it certainly isn't a "spin-the-earth-off-its-axis" engine like most old timers would lead us to believe, hemi cars are no slouch. The 425hp rating is also wildly regarded as BS- just like the ZL1 engines.

[SteveR]

The 426 was actually quite fast in its day. I remember reading an article in one of the car mags a few years ago and they did an 'old vs. new' shootout where they took like a dozen classic muscle cars and put em up against modern cars. They had like a '69 Camaro vs a 2000 Camaro, '70 Mustang Mach 1 vs 2000 Mustang GT, and a '70 Hemi 'Cuda vs a Viper. They also cross raced some of the cars against each other. In all, all of the classic cars lost, except for the Cuda. (The Cuda lost the first race, but they threw on some DOT slicks and it won the second round if I remember correctly because it kept spinning off the line).

the horsepower ratings were very different back then to todays counterpart...also the zl1 was a super super rare option that was underated for insurance reasons...

that explains alot bout the hemi...


and back then low 14's on the street was comparable to low 10s on the street today....

I understand that there was gross vs. net HP and rare options. But in recent years they rebuilt some of the factory supercar motors to spec and threw them on today's engine dynos and they were not "junk"- especially if you remove some of the crappy factory supporting parts, like poor flowing exhaust.

That's a good article (note: “I changed the mechanical cam to hydraulic lifters"), but I was talking in terms of engine power, not chassis power regarding the horsepower. Chassis and drivetrain stuff has come a long way. These cars were low-mid 13 second cars (See this (http://www.musclecarclub.com/musclecars/general/musclecars-50fast.shtml))at best because of chassis and other limitations (bias ply tires). I remember seeing a ZL1 test that showed it picking up a disgusting (80?) amount of horsepower when they dumped the exhaust from the manifolds back for a cheap set of open headers. I guess that's my point- bone showroom stock these cars were "OK" but after a few small mods they would open up greatly. I still wouldn't call the hemi "junk".

I'll see if I can dig up the ZL1 article, scan it, and post it up- it's actually a good read.
