I agree. It's not bad (I do like the shaker hood), but it would be a LOT better if it was white w/blue stripes and was more in the image of a 1969 T/A... woot!

Saw it at the Jax auto show.It's not bad but not worth 74 grand imo.It was done by a custom shop In Jax.

besides the price the thing looks nice.

I like it. I'd trade my 2011 2SS RS +$5,000 for it.

Well, if Pontiac was still around and wish it was, how much different would a TransAm be from a Camaro? That was GM's problem, just rebranding the same car style coming down the line.

Having said that, I like the car and wish there was a Trans-Am, and a Mercury Cougar for that matter.

The TransAm Depot cars are better looking.

This car is one of the WORST conversions I've seen.
1- Almost the price of TWO SS Camaro's.
2- Grill looks awful.
3- Firebird on hood looks cheesy.
I'm a HUGE fan of Firebird's, and I've seen some really good conversions. My personal favorite is the 73 Formula conversion with the large nostrils on the nose of the car.
That being said, THIS particular car screams ripoff.

They had one here recently at a traveling car lot. They are cool, but not $74k cool.

The shaker hood is the ONLY cool thing on the car. It's probably the worst of all the firebird conversions. The absurd pricetag only makes it that much worse.
At the end of the day, it looks like something someone made in their garage.

They should start selling kit parts or full conversion kits by themselves instead of a whole car already done. Some of the conversions look great and others look like crap. What I can't believe is no-one has touched a WS6 version. Ram Air hood & emblems and all.
