An old episode of the price is right. Check out the prize about 4 minutes in!!

 

That was cool!!!

 

Yeah..... we were all looking at the boat alright @ 2:25 WOOOOOOO !!


I like the way Bob barker described it as the Legendary Trans Am from Pontiac. Because you know it is.

 

Theres a nice monte carlo ls in there too!

 

I wish I could travel back in time and sit in a fresh from the factory Trans Am. *Drool*

 

Trans am..... with a 2.8?

 

It's just sometimes amazing to think they were ever new. My '91 feels like a ghost from a completely different time, and is received that way by those who see it. Hard to believe that even 15 years ago, they were common on the streets!

 

LOL yeah they must've had a base model in there before and re-used the specs.

 

That car had very little options,a base TA in 86 with a LG4 sold for $12,395,that car had a sticker price of $13,875.

 

They would have used a Yugo if they could have gotten way with it.

 

I wish I had bought a few Yugo's back in the day,what were they Buy One Get One Free.They would be interesting at the car shows(if you had put a couple away)

 

LOL back when my dad was in highschool he said the grocery store he worked at asked him if he could take the bumper off a Yugo so they could get it in the store

 

The specs bob barker read about the car were of a firebird v6, the car they showcased WAS A Base Level Trans Am 5.0 LG4. That was an error on Part of the script writer or prompter Bob was reading off of.

 

Yep, I noticed that too. But 'Ole Bob is just an actor doing his job...LOL.

 

That was cool!

 

I like the 3rd or 4th item up for bid. They call it a video cassette recorder. That brings back memories. Suggested retail price was 800 bucks. WOW!!!! Boy times have changed. The old man at the end ended up with 61,000 dollars cash and prizes. Main prize in the showcase showdown was a lincoln towncar. Guessing that the car cost atleast 25 to 30,000. Total for the whole showcase I think was 58,000 with the other prizes. That was alot of money in 86.

 

OL' bob. i remeber watching this episode with my grandma when i was a kid

 

I like how they read the tire sizes to the crowd...

Wonder where that car is today. It'd be cool to have it along with a copy of the video. Nice piece of history to go with that Trans Am...

 

And we wonder why there are so many people who owned the cars back in the day that have no idea what they actually had. Here was have on television a "2.8 Trans Am".

 

pretty cool, but why were you watching old episodes of the price is right? lol

 

do you not?

 

of course I do, but not that old yet

 

Nice Monte...shame it wasn't an SS. A bit of trivia is that the first car offered and won as a prize in TPIR was a 1972 Chevy Kamback Vega

 

Call me crazy but I think that LS front end should have been the standard SS front end looks more "sporty" than a SS front nose

 

Haha, that's the great thing about youtube. I remember they always gave cars for prizes on the price is right,
