the front looks great...rear is lacking and seems to be rounder than what a trans am rear should be...it doesn't resemble kevin morgan's photo either...i'm sure it was hard to replicate the concept photo of the kevin morgan trans am...but again the front looks great

its kind of like a hot a girl with a flat rear or something...like damn just missed perfection

the rear end is hideous on that thing

at least the 69 Trans Am shared the same generation as the 67-69 camaros. I just cant see how putting design cues from the 2nd gen T/A works on a 1st gen looking Camaro.

Indeed. I never understood trying to make a 2nd gen Trans Am retro design out of a Camaro that is a 1st gen retro design. It just doesn't make sense.

So when you order parts would it be for a 2010 camaro or a trans am!!!!!!!!!!!

I am on the fence on this.

First, I LOVE Trans-Ams. I have owned 10 of them since 1987 and they were always my dream car. Had GM made Camaro's and Trans Am in 2010, I would have bought the T/A.

I don't know what it is about this TA conversion, but it looks, sorry, cheap. The back lights especially look like they just don't fit right. The T/A decals are too large. The wheels look strange. The interior looks really bad.

From the side, the car looks bad ass.

From all other angles though, I am really not sold at all. And what? $80,000? Give me a break!!!

The T/A in this image:

Looks great. The decals are still a little big, but everything else is nicely understated. Make a TA closer to this car, keep the cost of the mods under $15k, and you have a car that I would buy.

I don't think they can make the rear look like that because that drawing is based off the concept camaro and the rear dimensions were changed for production due to safety regulations and standards...but at least they could have tried to get close

Are there??? Cuz I only see one bid on the car. Might want to rephrase that there is only 1 person out there that wants it at this price.

I thought it had a supercharger in it? Man for $80k they should at least have some type of power adder
