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