Trans Ams are Back!
 

very nice

Had a sweet 78 back in the day similar to this.They range from 10 to 40 k nowThe Firechicken was quick,totaled it within a few monthshttp://cimages3.carsforsale.com/3591...t=070620111302

I had a '76 white with blue, back then...loved it!
This new one look BAD ASS!

I had a '76, too... last year before they went to the square headlights. Loved that car, was crazy fast. Mine caught on fire after parking it in a grass parking lot... exhaust was too hot I guess. :mad: Miss that car...

My first car ever was a '77 Firebird in high school. I purchased a '96 Ram Air WS-6 Trans Am brand new when I lived in NJ with a 5.7 litre engine, T-tops, 17" wheels, sport tuned suspension, functional hood scoop and loaded with nearly every other option. I had a lot of fun cruising the Jersey shore and strip club scenes back in the day in that car for only $28k at the time! I bet these new special Hurst TA's cost way more than that!

Looks like a messed up Camaro.

Yep, It Started WIth THe Mustang, Then Chev copied it to make the Camero and now they took the Camero and put a bird on the hood and some t tops, jess.

excuse my garbage spelling.

totally aftermarket... looks great though for sure

They been building these aftermarket TAs since the new Camaro came out.

Looks like a 19 yr old retarded Mexican whose dad owns a body shop, tried to make his Camero look cool. And the wheels? Really?

I think that's exactly what it is... I think they took a Camaro and made it look like a Trans AM.

Interesting.

hah, yah, a fat guy and a bald dude pitching a trans am in a shitty youtube vid with 4-5 mainstream songs playing.

i hope their production values in the garage are much better than their video production's, especially with those t-tops!

Boy, when I was in highschool the movie "Smokey And The Bandit" was out. And there was a guy in town who went and got a black Trans Am just like the one Burt Reynolds had in the movie...he was King of the town for a few years with that car. lol

always have been the same car

Nice, I would test it!

I like it

Ya, mine was a 455 {I suppose yours was also.}.
Hauled ass! Never caught on fire, though! LOL!

Yup, YOU know it...same body frame.

For those of you young 'uns unaware of such things.

Chevy Camaro / Pontiac Trans Am
Mercury Capri / Ford Mustang
...I could go on and on, but I won't...LOL!

Yeah, but the Camaro was lame and the Trans Am was freaking cool.

It's very similar to the difference between a Capri and Mustang. One was cool, one was not.

I had two mid 1970 Camaros growing up. They were freaking boats!

the capri is not a mustang.

The Capri IS on the same chassis as a Mustang was {Ford/Mercury}...just like a Camaro and Trans Am {Chevrolet/Pontiac} shared their same chassis.
You are wrong...

Cool factor... Mustang & Trans Am for the win, over Capri / Camaro! ;-)
:thumbsup:thumbsup

Only the second generation Mercury Capri shared a chassis with the Ford Mustang from 1979-1986. Not the first generation or later models. Don't you guys ever check Wikipedia before arguing about easily verifiable facts, lol?

Yes, mine was a 455, too. Loved that car.

The 2nd generation Capri was on the "fox platform", which was the Mustang.

LOL...I wasn't saying EVERY one was...just that it "generally" was...
but, ya. 79-mid 90's was even when I was only paying attention, anyway! LOL!

...and I also shoulda used Cougar / Thunderbird as an additional example of shared platforms...thanks Rochard for the reminder! ;-)

Those late 1970's and all the 1980's and 90's cars that were called "mustangs" were NOT Mustangs.

I owned a 1970 small block Mustang and 1972 Cleveland 351 with side pipes.
The box cars of the 80's and 90's that were branded as Mustangs weren't even close to the real deal. :)

the cougar is the mercury version of the mustang.

cougar only copied the thunderbird for 2 years.

Only on generation one, which generally people forget and don't care about...
1983–1988 << was the good times!

Ya..and let's not forget "The Mustang II" LOL!

Charlie's Angels, ahem, cough cough...

it's sad that people that obviously have a shared interest in something can't even have a dialogue about it without someone like yourself making it personal.

it's a fucking capri, your need to insult me over a capri says much more about you than me.

this is the capri.

I were jes jokin'
Nada makin' it personal. ;-)
Sorry if you took it that way...

Yep, those are the ugly ass things. Ugh.

Here is the real deal:

My dad had one of those. The one pictured is a 427.
He had a cobra jet 429 engine in his and that thing would literally lift off the ground when he punched it.

He and his buddies used to race around Lake Hollingsworth in Lakeland, Fla for pink slips back in the early 1970's. He never lost with that car.

you could not be more wrong. are you seriously trying to get people to believe that the capri is more, fuck, n/m

Yup! Now, THAT is a Mustang! ;-)

1969 cougar eliminator, "which generally people forget and don't care about..."
