  • IT WAS THE CONCEPT FOR THE NEW TRANS AM BEFORE PONTIAC SHUT DOWN! They made a few and even selling them. Saw one a few weeks ago at a dealership, black. Check ebay sometimes.

  • @piig86 Nice. We woulda bought a new TransAm if Pontiac hadn't gone bye bye. So we got the 11 SS. We also have a 97 Ws6. It's a shame GM gave Pontiac the axe. Personally I would have ditched GMC. But that's just me.

  • This doesn't work. The 2010 Camaro pays respect to First Generation Camaro and someone added Second Generation Pontiac Trans Am styling. Yes, these cars are (were) cousins, but two different body styles...a '69 Z28 looks nothing like a '70 Z28. I know first hand; I own a 1970 Z28.

  • Looking good

  • This is amazingly awesome... but unless GM gave permission... holy sh*t is this illegal, lol

  • GM should have kept pontiac now that we have an american muscle car comeback the GTO started it all and we are not going to have a new one.

  • ew

  • really cool looking but they need to fix the front a little to make it better.

  • I wouldnt say its a bad looking car, but to me it represents the exact reason why GM failed. How stupid or brainwashed we must have been to accept several cars who's only true difference was a switched out front facia!? And whats with all this Front Facia Grille antics these days. Companies are selling Not the car but the facia!! Sure a good facia can transform the overall styling feel of the vehicle but the facia is the last thing that defines a vehicle itself. Chrysler is learning.

  • @xevious2501 I agree with you 100% But Chrysler is only learning this lesson the same way GM learned it... By dropping it's other badge.. Plymouth, like GM dropped Pontiac etc. I just wish GM kept Pontiac and lost Buick instead.

  • Comment removed

  • those wheels suck...

  • Looks awesome, the only thing that should be different are the rims

  • looks so much better than the camaro

  • Man, WTH was GM snortin' on when they canned Pontiac?!? THIS coulda/woulda/shoulda revived them! Last car I had was a Pontiac. Grand Am, that is. It wasn't no slouch, either.

    Jus' sayin'.

  • Dude, thats nuts! Love my 2011 victory red drop top with a roll bar but looking at this makes my pecker shrink. Hats off to the fella that has the appreciation for historical Pontiac and the means to make his dream come true on an already solid Camaro platform.

  • looks like the camaro not?

  • This car is a mess: A 70's front on a 60's remake!

  • Sick as fuck. GM was stupid to can Pontiac. If the Camaro was the hot girl next door, the Firebird was always Carmen Electra. A few extra plastic bits that some could say are unneeded, but drop dead sexy regardless!

  • I would give my left nut for this car.

  • This is the Car i watied my long Life for...

    Because i think the 79 Firebird TransAm is the most Beautyfull Muscle Car from USA.

  • looks like a camaro..

  • @super1337spy It is its just a body kit to give it the look of being a trans am.

  • that's just a shity 79' wide body TA originals r way better

  • needs the old style rims but nice car overall

  • Please don't remake the Firebird. The best thing that ever happened to the Firebird was being discontinued before GM could butcher it and add 1,000 lbs like they did to the poor Camaro.

    Let its legacy live on unsoiled by modern car designers and their obsession with gluing "high performance" body kits onto flabby trainwreck chassis.

  • @RamboRepublican A trainwreck chassis????What do you mean by that?

  • if pontiac was still in bussiness this is what the new trans-am would look like

  • hey guys,,,,,how could I get one like this ..??

  • this looks like the widebody on midnight club L.A.

  • Ugly ass tinny wheels!

  • its just so obvious and fake.

  • @MrAcme15 its not fake at all theirs a company out of texas thats making these out of new camaros

  • @LBigJake14 fake - 'a thing that is not genuine'... is it a real trans-am..? no. fake :)

    i dont care if theres 10 companies making them. there is a company in china making fake iphones, theyre not real iphones :P

  • Oh no.  GM you killed Pontiac you don't get the satisfaction of making the Trans Am anymore.

    I wish I would've kept my 2nd Gen. It had a built 455 and I outran everything with it, and 5.0L Mustangs? LOL

  • Needs Foose wheels!

  • Fugly

    

  • Put some bigger wheels on that thing, it looks like a ricer with all the bodykit parts and 12" wheels.  If the wheels were a few inches bigger that thing would be a beauty!!!

  • @Crotchrocket75 got 2 agree with this guy. i dont like big rims but as far as performance and looks it does need a bigger size rim. u gotta know this guy is tellen the truth hes in 2 sport bikes. as i grew up my 1st car was a 78 fbird then 77 s/e t/a, 82 fbird,85 t/a,87 t/a then got in 2 sports cars. the love 4 the t/a doesnt go away, the transam is more then a muscled out machine got 2 love them cars

  • Siiiick....but the wheels are all wrong.

  • (BARF). I might've thought this is nice if I saw this before an old 2nd gen Bird (those are b-e-a--utiful). These new 5th gen Maro's are ugly and to make one look like a Trans Am is horrible. Chrysler is doing the same with the Challenger / Barracuda I heard, also a terrible idea because that may actually go into production. My favorite part about this video was the advertisement for Royal Purple. Thumbs down.

  • The Firebreather from smoking tire is still the most bad ass trans am like car ive seen so far. :-)

  • looks like a mix of a trans am and camaro

  • A two door Pontiac G8 would've made a better platform to base a new Firebird/Trans Am off of than the Government Motors crapamaro.

  • @Knightewolfe firebirds havbe always been made off the camaro, also pontiac was owned by GM

  • make the sidescoops do something, get wheels that look more like the 4th gen or 1st gen, and for goodness sake put a more realistic wing on it, i have a wing that looks like that on my 89 firebird and i hate it...

  • algo bien con ese carro

  • Rebirth of The Screaming Chicken!!!

    When does it hatch?

  • @Phantasmos I like that! lol

    

  • This is what they should have used in the new version of Knight Rider instead of the Mustang....

  • i like this better than the camaro

  • personally, i feel like this one is too much like the camaro. obviously it is a camaro, and even back in the glory days they were basically the same body. but it doesnt feel nearly as true as i would like it to be. i like the new camaros better now, but i dont think they can ever make another trans am that will impress me as much as the 77-81's... damn shame

  • @nevbot222 yeah, the best T/As were definately the late second generation models. The fifth generation camaros are great since they look like the first gen camaros, but the big flirey bird belongs on the beak of something that looks more like a 2nd gen T/A Firebird. I wonder if GM will make the 6th generation camaros look like the 2nd gen camaros in the next few years.. probably not, but it would be a perfect platform for a T/A concept.

  • GM must make it ,,, we all waiting

  • google "gust buster" for ur cam. thanks

  • so ugly. the camaro is such an awesome looking car. adding this kit makes it look stupid.

  • i like the new camaros but damn this is so mutch cooler i whould deff buy this

  • are u guys sellin the kit 4the conversion? if so would u drop me a line at xwingo6@hotmail.com.. thankx

  • I see all kinds of trans am concepts on here.. I hope GM gets a clue. gosh damn.. shoulda tossed Buick instead.

  • @ballenb17 No kidding. Pontiac had the Solstice, the G6 and the G8, and what did Buick have? The Looser, I mean the Lucern? Resurrecting the T/A would have revived Pontiac and GM jointly. It would have been so easy for them to cash in if they remembered that Pontiac once meant Bad-Ass.

  • @rik6T6 don't forget the pontiac gto.

  • @ballenb17 They didn't toss Buick because it's the #1 American car brand in China. Go figure...

  • @ballenb17 Well they should have, but more people in China buy Buick than Lexus.

  • @ballenb17 GM was going to ditch Buick. Then almost overnight, China became the fastest growing auto market in the world. And the Chinese love Buicks.

  • @ballenb17 - Buick is a "cash cow" in China. That is why Buick will never go.

  • @ballenb17 nah.. them old folk buy a lot of cars.....

  • man u must be crazy to say tossed buick

  • who else thinks that smokey and the bandit now needs to be remade?

  • @evinsteven13 i sure dont... All the remakes now sucks ass!. 

  • @FryerDevin yeah, youre right, but once in a while there will be a decent remake, if they really tried, pumped some bucks into the movie, it could in my opinion kick butt, but if they do remake it, and it sucks, I will be pissed and sad

  • @evinsteven13 Only if they used this car, But sadly like when NBC remade knight rider they'd use a mustang or camaro in new smokey and the bandit

  • @amikepugh89Ford yeah, I agree, I hate it when remakes cant even get the same freakin type of car right

  • @evinsteven13 Another unnecessary remake? in my opinion we have got enough destroyed movies like fright night, planet of the apes, the omega man so...... let the original movies.

  • @tonidmc yeah, but if you actually have a good director, a decent budget, it would be freakin sick

  • @evinsteven13 I do. That, and Knight Rider as well.

  • @evinsteven13 With a MANUAL tranny, not an auto this time.

  • @HedgehogOutdoors agreed

  • @evinsteven13 OH GOD YES IT DOES!!!! GOOD CALL!!!

  • Money well spent!

  • I like this so mch better. 

  • Looks sick dude

  • Thats just a 2010 carmaro with other lights and nose :p

  • @multimartijn1 The Trans Am/Firebird is and always has been the Camaro's sister, both built on the same chassis and essentially are the same car

  • Thats an

  • i want one!!

  • ken bell supercharger

  • Yea that spoiler could use some extra thought,but all round sweet car

  • Ok, I like this better than that stupid GTO body kit, but its still not a Pontiac... Its a shame that GM allowed Pontiac to go under....

  • @CaptainRon956 GM didn't allow it to go under.OBAMA made them shut it down as a condition for bailout money.

  • not really digging the spoiler, but that car is sick.

  • Nice ride. Way better looking than a camaro. And nice blower too.

  • hmm i wonder how it would look if they gave a 1967 Firebird front fasica

  • For all the dumbasses saying shit about how Pontiac needs to design better looking car... Pontiac is OUT OF BUSINESS. People are not willing to let the Trans Am die and I don't blame them. Still out performs and out handles your old ass '78 too

  • rrrrrrrrriiiiiiicccccceeeeeeee­errrrrrrrrr gm

  • just find an older one and rebuild it...these look like crap.....its a nice try...but i'll take my 78 anyday over a bolt on conversion

  • funny how people think this is a real Pontiac trans am...

  • Wheels and tires are way too small. They look stupid in those giant wheel wells.

  • @keewatin427 No they go great with it, it would look stupid with bigger wheels and tires,

  • Comment removed

  • not bad... but still looks like the new camaro and the new GTO.

  • Did they run out of ideas on how to make the new trans am and the gto and just use the camaro body?? That's lame.

  • new cars are really starting to resemble the camaro...sucks...

  • @seven77712 that car is a camaro converted into pontiac trans am... many die hard fans do that since pontiac doesn't exist anymore.

  • Fuck you pontiac design you propies cars! FfffffUuuuuCccccKkkkk

  • the front end is perfect...but the rear..extend the lights.

  • I like it!! looks sharp

  • Why would you take a decent looking camaro and do this... wow that is fucking ugly. Thats why I'll stick to my old fords and bmw's. oh yea i forgot.... wheres the guy with the mullet at?

  • the firebreather is much better 

  • I wonder what a '79 conversion would look like.

  • Lord, why did you have to take Pontiac from us? Next time take Ford..

  • I think GMC should bring back pontiac, However this time, no stupid SUV's or sally Sunfires, make it more of an exclusive brand. Made to order type cares where they new Model Trans Ams and whatever other cool cars pontiac made. This conversion is SIIIIIICK, I leave this post with this. Dear Santa I have been a really good boy this year...

  • The wheels are horrible but everything else looks pretty darn sweet!

  • From someone that owned 2 GTO's ( a 68 and a 70), a 1987 Trans Am GTA (bought brand new in 87), two Grand Prixs...Pontiacs are the biggest piles of shit out there except for Fords. Good riddance of that sucky marque.

  • @puppetmasterblaster i need to start digging your own grave sir. and right before we start burying you ill sit my ass in your face so you can kiss my butthole as i fart

  • Everything is cool but those fucking chopped roofs remind me of those gay ford sedans from american graffiti

  • not a fan of the front bumper

  • The problem with all the 'conversions' is that the latest generation of Camaro is modeled after the first gen Camaro (67-69), the kit you see here is designed to make it look like 77-78 T/A. Not even the same generation. If you wanna do a great conversion make it look like a 69 T/A FFS.

  • Very nicely done - I'd love to have one starting from a ZL-1 chassis in white with red (charcoal/smoke/fire bird). Nice... something to think about ;)

  • Yea but will it blend?

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!

  • Where is the shop located in Texas?. Nice conversion that I might be interested in.

  • Pontiac doesn't exist any more and the Trans-Am won't exist either...

  • SICK DUUUUUUUDE!!!......effin awesome!!!!

  • hey people who are upset that it looks like the camarro, look back at all the other versions, do you notice that they are pretty much the same car, body style, engine size, everything is the same, only difference is performance

  • its a nice car...but i think it looks like shit cause GM gave up on Pontiac, so it is what it is a camaro conversion...

  • I want to buy the new camaro and make it into the trans am I'm a camaro guy but damm I love the way this car looks!!!!! Way better then the new camaro in my opinion

  • where did you get this car

  • @marshalldarkside im more than sure it was built this way.

  • anohter camero conversion come onnnnnnn... -.-

  • it should had the smokey and the bandit colors

  • That is not a T/A stinks just like all of the other sports cars today. Bring back the real retro look but design the inside differant

  • @TheNorthernSoulKing yeah that's better then any shit out there for sure,love retro looks

  • @DjBitchBoy I do do I wish they would remake them with the same power and style like they were bought change the inside

  • Don't ya know, GM is run by accountants, they could just as well make coat hangers.

  • @Primalforge i think an ikea coat hanger would be more reliable as transportation than some gm cars lol

  • i like how the trans am sticker in the back isn't even. awesome car tho.

  • nice wind sound track

  • thats fuckin awesome!!!!!!

  • Ive got a 2000 T/a..silver w/ crome wheels...think im gonna cry.....

  • true

  • disgrace to the trans am.....

  • no harm intended dude! jus my taste. maybe sum 20's n frnt, sum 22's n back! dats all! but it's a sweet ride! who does that conversion?

  • looks too much like a camaro for me to ever want it

  • As many of these "conversions" I have seen (which is a shit load) you would think GM would get the hint.

  • @GMisurdaddy  YES re open PONTIAC and Close Buick

  • @r3dph0n3 SORRY! THATS NOT GONA HAPPEN, G.M., MAKES VERY GOOD MONEY WITH BUICK, FROM ALL THE OLD PEPOLE!!, AND I HATE TO SAY IT, BUT EVENTHOUGH PONTIACS LOOKED GOOD, ALL THEY EVER DID WAS FALL APART!

  • @GMisurdaddy Well they left it too late, i guess. pnotiacs defunct so theres nowhere for the Trans Am to really go.

  • @GMisurdaddy I've said the same thing. Maybe Pontiac would still be around if they had built this and say maybe not have built the Aztec.

  • @GMisurdaddy Everyday I lament the loss of Pontiac. Goddamn bankers.

  • @GMisurdaddy Not to mention the various years reproduced...how hard would it be to offer a option code short for "risen from the ashes"? RFA for the camaro giving the customer the chance to have a converted camaro intoa transam itd be huuuge

  • As the fire chicken rises from the ashes..........

  • Whoever added this crap to a Camaro has no imagination. The new Camaros are ugly, box with 4 wheels copied of the mustang; I always see them on the road and my 4th Gen Trans Am gets more heads turning than any Camaro any day of the week.

  • It doesn't have oversized wheels and tires because the car is made for high performance, look at the roll cage in the car for crying out loud. It's amazing how stupid people are these days.

  • Where the hell is the black paint job, the gold wheels and the CB radio???

  • that thing is fly

  • needs bigger wheels. Looks like 18's on it now, but could fill the gaps alot nicer with some 19's or 20's

  • IT IS COOL - I've has two Trans Ams & I'm digging it! :)

  • To everyone commenting it's a Camaro, yes we all know it's a Camaro but this concept is still pretty cool. There's enough Trans Am features in and there to make me want one. And that engine set up looks fierce.

  • Stop making Trans Am's out of Camaros. Make a Trans Am out of a TRANS AM!
