  • It was time to give back to my ole man, after working his whole life he finally retired. I wanted to get him a car from his era, that was not perfect and needed some love. So he could tinker with it in his new found free time. And I felt this car as prefect, a 1980 bandit trans am!
    He graduated high school in 1980 and just 4 year later I was born. So this was the car from that era! So we surprised him on Christmas with it, and caught him a little off guard!
    Plans are to get it as solid body as we can, then start down the path of a power train swap! Then he can get this Trans AM from the past back on the open road!

    Awesome gesture! Wish my dad was worth surprising him with something like that! Though I do recognize that I at least have a dad, I just find myself parenting him more these days

    Awesome gift for your dad. That's definitely a 6.6 Pontiac 400 from what I'm seeing. I graduated in 1981 and I just bought myself a 1980 TA that has a BBC 454 already swapped in it. Gonna be a fun project.

      Ahhhh ,,, just saw the end of the video and saw you identified it as a 301. Bummer. All those pontiac v8's look alike on the outside. Time for an engine swap! LOL.

    Awesome video, memories like that will last forever. You can tell you are a car guy. Instead of letting the moment sink in you went straight to let me tell you all about the car 😅

      Be neat if it happens. If it don’t, I’ll have all the memories either way.
