Do a search on TGO for that one. It's been discussed a few times.

Time marches on. These aren't VW Beetles! The real sad thing was the 2002 ending, though the Camaro is back now. The Firebird sadly didn't make it.

Re: Last 3rd gen made

The Closest Firebird of 2013 ive seens is that 2012 camaro made into a firebird - Called FireBreather, even has the whole firebird on the hood and everything. not bad considering it was once a camaro and looks pretty damn nice, and has a hell of a engine under the hood.

I watched that video a couple times. The car is real close to mine and mine was built almost a month to the day before that one.

Re: Last 3rd gen made

that was neat... def. a collectors item I would think. Would be bad a$$ to have the first 3rd gen camaro and the last 3rd gen to roll of the lines. Sweet of GM to allow people to sign the vehicle like that. It's funny I fell out of love with the 3rd gen as a kid towards the middle to late 90's for bmw's and ****. Glad I own a T/A today and not a beemer.
