No one should dis or confuse the gold leaf used on the Gibb's burgundy Camaros back in the day with a screaming chicken. I liked the Trans Am less the chicken.
Those J turns were Rockford Turns midway through the series and a good time after the series ended.
Lingenfelter makes a well done version of the 5th Gen Firebird as does HPP. Chevrolet would do well to place the Camaro in Rockford's hands, but they may do just as well while the Firebird tradition is preserved with a 5th Gen based Firebird.
I read an article in one of the auto rags in th last month that was an interview with James Garner. He said they decided on the blue collar version of the Bird because Jim Rockford couldn't afford a Trans Am. The show bought three identical cars each year because Pontiac would not give them free vehicles. I like that because I can't even begin to spell frea let alone understand what it means.
