welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their
[4]
car mods, and here's this week's winner, hi everyone thanks for tuning in, this is
[11]
my 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA this is actually an original 5.7 car
[18]
with the automatic 350 transmission, inside the car it was factory ordered with
[25]
black leather interior, black carpet, it's a triple black car, also the 5.7 was not
[31]
too many actually back in 88 were available, this cars also got a t-top
[35]
roof which was actually a dealer-installed option and wasn't
[39]
available from the factory in 88, but this one actually got it, it was actually
[44]
ordered from the dealer to have the t-tops done and they were actually an
[47]
aftermarket conversion and it actually has the tag in the tailgate which
[51]
shows you when it was done when the car was brand-new basically, I've owned the car
[57]
for 3 or 4 years and I've gone through the whole
[59]
car from front to back really to get the car up to the standard I wanted, I've
[64]
always wanted one of these but this is actually the 4th Trans Am I've owned but
[67]
it's the first GTA I've actually had it's also got the original VIN tag and
[72]
I'll show you on the inside and the glove compartment you can see the actual
[78]
original tag just showed you that this car is a
[80]
genuine GTA with all the correct factory codes for the 5.7 engine, limited slip
[86]
differential, absolutely everything that was available in the GTA in 88 this car
[92]
actually had all of it, I've customized the car fairly mildly, I don't like my
[95]
card stock so I've gone through a lot the car just to really make it a little
[100]
bit more unique, just how I like my cars on the outside I've changed the wheels, the
[106]
suspensions been done, the exhaust has been done, I've had the whole car repainted,
[110]
as you can see it's a very clean car that's just how like my cars, I don't
[115]
drive this as a daily driver, this cars you a show car, I only take it
[120]
out to shows and drive it on nice sunny day so this car doesn't really get out
[124]
much, I'll just show you the under the bonnet and show you what the engine
[129]
is like, as you can see it's very clean, back to the outside of the car, you'll
[160]
see the the paint is actually the original factory black but obviously
[164]
I've had it repainted in the correct color the car was a six month process to
[168]
get this car painted and it came out really good because anyone whose
[172]
painted a black car before knows how hard it is to get you know a good finish
[176]
for a black car, but the guy that did the bodywork he did a great job in the car
[179]
and made it come out looking brand spanking new from the outside, I've also
[184]
added quite a few little touches on the car, little gold decals there and there I
[188]
was able to get reproduction GTA emblems because all the ones in the car were all
[194]
shocked just from sun damage, they really cleaned up the whole car from the
[198]
outside, plus the custom wheels one-off set of wheels diamond-cut gold painted
[202]
18-inch wheels with 275 Yokohama rubber just finished off the car really nicely,
[207]
you may also have noticed the cars wearing a standard Trans Am rear spoiler
[212]
again the rear wing on this car just needed changing, all rotted out so the GTA
[218]
wing not a big fan of it anyway but overall I think it finishes off the car
[222]
really nicely, thanks for watching my video and I hope you enjoy
