    I remember these cars best as being driven by really greasy looking guys with their shirts unbuttoned and a gold coke spoon dangling from their neck.

    You're full of s*** these cars are going for more money than the 72 Corvette which I would rather have I had a 77 Trans Am it was the biggest piece of s*** I've ever owned

    Humor aside, a (real) 1977 or 1978 SE W72 4-speed T/A is now worth triple what it was when the video was produced. Not bad for a car that ran about 6K new.

    Best car ever

    I know old vid. I don't know why the younger people who make this type of video talk about horse power in cars from this era. Due to the EPA Hp was trash BUT Pontiac motors were all about the Ft Lb of torque. Yes, only 185-220 Hp but 315-340 Tq and the torque is what the driver feels and that is what sold millions of these cars. Compare these numbers to the Cmaro with only 250 Ft Lb of torque and 170 Hp and the Corvette even less. During the EPA era the T/A had better performance than the Corvette and were much easier to wake up in the go fast department, I know I lived that era and still have a 1975 Trans Am with a 647 Hp 627 FtLb Tq motor in it.

    Most muscle cars of 70s leaked at car wash, my dads 70 gto definitely did so my uncle 69 gto, an all the generic cars we had when i was a kid in 80s the cordoba, the regal, 65 cutlass, international scout, blazer k5 , aspen , moms firebird esprit,every one leaked even in rain at highway speeds

    That Trans Am looks like his dad’s car. Is it?

    It's cheap because it's not a '77.
