Trans Am Firebirds sitting in a Wisconsin Junkyard!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Going through this junkyard in Wisconsin, we were pleasantly surprised to find so many Pontiac Firebirds! There was probably 30 of them there total, many of them being Trans Ams! Have you ever seen a Sky Bird Firebird? I've only seen a handful over the years. This junkyard had rescued many barn finds, garage salvage and so much more!

    Thanks for showing these. Not a big fan of that era of Firebirds around 79 and 80 and beyond until you get up to the end of the run. But it does bring back memories. I had a friend that really love those rim chargers. Thanks for the education on the 74 and a half. That's a nice looking truck with a lot of upside potential. Green car and Blue car future VIDEOS, looking forward to seeing them. 1975 forward for the bigger wrap around rear window on Camero. I believe the same for the firebird. Liked the old tow truck at about a minute or so. 👍

    my first car was a 1980 Trans Am Indy Pace car like the at 1:45. ( it's a 1980 not 1981). Engine lacked any kind of legendary Trans Am performance, but that thing would turn on a dime even at high speeds with that WS-6 handling package.

    I’m 38, live in Milwaukee, my godmother had 2 Trans Am Firebirds when I was growing up (not exactly sure what years), and my mom had a ‘70 Coronet. I always loved cars so I married a mechanic and he rebuilds transmissions. I go to junkyards around Wisconsin often. I would love to find a ‘70’s Trans Am someday and fix it up. My husband is a GMC/Chevy truck guy. He wants an old C10 someday. Very cool video 😊

    That turbo TA needs to be saved asap! Its still in good enough condition to fix. Although its got all the stupid smog stuff to deal with. It would be a project for sure. But the parts are easy to find and are cheap. Not sure if the turbo option parts would be cheap if you can even find em. But it looks complete.

    No, the first one in the introduction is a 1980 (not 1981) Pace Car. The rims are wrong, they should be white, not silver. Correct, smaller rear window is through the 1974 model year. 1975-1981 has the larger rear window. The Skybird was available from 1977-1978. You could get a Redbird in 1978-1979 and then a Yellowbird in 1980. They were catered towards women drivers because of the softer colors and fabrics.
