It's either the red-readed ugly step-child or maybe the black sheep of the family. Everyone's got one but we don't want to talk about it!

Re: what is it?
Old joke, but what happens when Toyota and Chevrolet make a car?
You get a Toy-o-let.

Most people probably wouldnt even notice. It definitely puts the "Tranny" in Trans-Am. Who new cars could want to be different, looks like yours is "post operation".......haha

Re: what is it?
There's too many people in this country who can't tell if they are a boy or girl. (slight lyric change: "Got your mother in a whirl 'cos you're not sure if you're a boy or a girl".) We don't need that confusion to spread to the 3rd gen world.

I think it's something that occurs in the backwoods when family members get bored lol. In all seriousness, any 3rd gen that isn't showing truck wheels and lightning bolts is ok with me!

That has to be a cut and splice job, right?

Re: what is it?
Those have been around since the mid 80's. There are Camaros with the TA clip also.
There were some 4th gens I saw around in the late 90's.
I've seen a 3rd gen with a 2nd gen clip.

Re: what is it?
I think the wheel arches would drive me crazy. The firebirds are round and the camaro's are slightly flat. . . .it's hard to notice but it's there lol.

Re: what is it?
Seriously, how was this done? Was a Firebird and a Camaro nose cut and grafted back together? If my 84 TA Aero nose gets damaged in the future, I would definitely consider doing this, since I doubt if I could find replacement pieces.

Re: what is it?
That is the best by far listing for a car I have ever read, and I read alot of them! This thing should sell simply because of the add.

Re: what is it?
The only thing not mentioned in the ad would be cranking Stroke Me by Billy Squier on the cassette player, assuming it still works.
