I sure would have liked one of these or at least the rear wing on mine. Also they have a Trans Am.

Very cool. Expensive though. Looking at the T/A conversion, you need to buy a brand new Camaro SS. Then their conversion will cost you an additional $28,000 or more. Depending on the options you want.

Up here in Canada, that would put the final car in the price range of a Corvette. And you've voided your warranty. So hopefully you still have enough money to pay for any problems out of pocket.

I am not sure I like the front of them, but I know thats the way the were back then. But man I like the wing and everything else. Its not really an option for most of us, but hey we can dream.

You know Back in the day when they 1st came out with them. Everyone laughed at them. And how ugly they were. Yeah I did also. But I always liked that damn wing. But these pictures are fantastic. A couple of yrs ago. One went for ??? Sit down 1st.....$ 300.000. Theirs a guy here in Mn that has two of them. NOW !! I think their COOL as HELL. They did make some with just the wing on it. Not sure what they were called or what body they used.

I see Space has left an influence on Taz. I do'nt know what to think o f this. For a modern car, it looks good... but it's historically wrong, since Plymouth is gone and it was there Roadrunner that became the Superbird, and the Charger became the Daytona.

Once upon a time a member by the screenname Black Attack, real name Craig, worked at a car dealer for many years. They had a '70 Superbird on the lot in like '72 and had to figure out how to get rid of it... they ended up converting it back to a Roadrunner and selling it that way... I always wonder if a 440 Roadrunner is restored and roaming around or even sitting in a junkyard, nad it's actually a Superbird.

My dad once told me that in Florida around Daytona, you'd see a few Charger Daytona's running around that the major race fans owned. I cringe a little whne I'm watching an old NASCAR race on YouTube or osmething and see one crash... a quarter million dollar car crashed... of course today it is like a $1 million car crash.

Those cars you posted are unique... I just don't think I like them though... kind of historically inaccurate cars... with one being on a Chevrolet platform especially. They're unique though, I give them that.
