Beautiful car. Excellent styling. Too bad cars today don't have the same character. What's the song?

What ever it is its a 74' or newer with the 70-73 nosecone on it. Really nice car but that wrap around window and post 73' tailights kill the dream for me.

@schellhamer88 This could quite well be a 1976 Trans Am with a 71-73 Front.

It would be much difficulter to cut a 1975- + rear Window in a 71-73 Car.

Man, If I ever sell my 71 or 73, this is what will happen. Now, they they sell the tail light pannel to accept the squinty tail lights that I dig the most. lovely!
