From the new sytle classic looking cars of today like the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. I begin to think of what I drove in my younger days one was a 1979 Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am like this one.

That I really liked until I got got driving toooo fast. many times :roll:

Once i was stopped a told that just because I had a bird on the hood, didn't mean that I could fly. :$C:

I wish Pontiac would do a new version of the 1970's Trans Am.

I had several toys in those days. One of my favorites was like this only more of a light mauve in color.

Typical GM/Pontiac move. #-o

Well, you are sorta right. The Camero was introduced by Chevy specifically to compete with the Mustang, both in style and performance.

And, of course, the Fire Bird/Trans-Am was a Camero knock off.

My older brother had 69SS 70 and 72 Chevelles. The 72 he placed a 455
Which when drove he filled up with gas alot

It was fun and it looked cool. One was a orange with black sport strips.

Using the cherry picker brings back memories.

had some hydrolics in the rear that I had to use if I had the wrinkle walls on. could waste a bunch of rubber and watch the gas gauge go down in a single intersection.

ahh - the good ol' days

but the Camaro never looked as good and I see more Firebirds/Trans Ams everyday than I do Camaros.
