One thing I'll never understand, when you have a car like this, IMHO the best looking T/A ever, and from what little I could hear one of the best sounding cars ever; why do people insist on playing canned metal headbanger music? Jesus, what a travesty. Sacrilege ain't in it...

We added the music to help with the transitions between camera angles. Thanks for your input. We'll be sure to keep that in mind with our next video.

I bought recently a 71 trans am, the thirst thing I did was trowing the radio away. Nothing better music than the sound of a 455ho

The car's sound itself is the sweetest music you can buy for under a 100k dollars. Its makes its own music. Don't need a radio.

Thank you. This was the first run on the car. We didn't want to run it too hard. Plus it's a customer car, we like to leave the hell raising to them. 😆

That would be an M20 or M21, an M22 would have whined in all 4 gears.

@joequillun7790 Жыл бұрын

@@davidkeeton6716 I believe it actually is a rockcrusher. I had a 73 with an M-20, and it didn't whine anything like this one. Never have had an M-22 tho.

@Opiemus 3 жыл бұрын

I had a 1967 Camaro with 327 and a m22 Muncie Rock crusher transmission. I always thought that there was something off with the transmission because of whined so much. I learned later that that's just the way they are because of the straight cut gearing, I sure do miss that car! The transmission in this Trans Am sounded exactly like it! 😁👍

Damn ... I had a white/blue '71 in '73. Would love to have another. I love the flap in the back of the shaker .. I think the '71 HOs may have been the only year with it. Well done!!

Thank you. This was such a fun car. The customer bought it off of his cousin in the early 70's. His cousin was the original owner.

No the 70 T/As definitely had functional Shaker hood scoops

@stephenflowers8516 3 жыл бұрын

I had several friends in the early 70s that had 70 Trans Ams and in 70 they all had functional Shaker hood scoops. At least my friends cars did.

@ericjohnson3332 2 жыл бұрын

70 to 72 were functional. 73 and on were fraudulent scoops. A common mod for 77 to 79 T/A's with the squared style scoop is to cut it.
