Why not? It might not be to your liking but it took a lot of work and others might find it appealing.

I know a lot of people don't like them, but I don't mind the Trans Am Worldwide versions based on the new Camaro. But a Mopar format? Nah.

What's with those tail lights? I feel that the basic shape of the existing ones lend themselves to the creation of a reasonable facsimile if you can find a way to split them horizontally. But those are gawd awful.

This is one of two things. A very poor photo shop or the result of lots of drug induced auto body work.

Why? To answer that question: Because there are allot of people out there with a huge amount is disposable income who want something different. They have no skills and no ability to do much themselves, but like the look and idea of a custom car with some weird mix of old and new and multi-brands. So I would say, why not?

Thats just down right STUPID!
A mopar disguised as a Pontiac?? For the price of the challenger, the cost of the conversion work a real GTO could be bought. I could only hope this is a PhotoSH. I dont even care for the camaro transplant to a firebird. They dont make any sense to me, take a first gen style body type and put a second gen appointments to it??? Another dumb idea. |

If not photoshopped, would it change anyone's mind if it were Pontiac powered?

Why? Because there is no accounting for taste. Some people are sexually interested in feet. I don't get it but I don't have to.
The front end of the car actually looks decent. Ill bet the car gets a ton of attention, which may be the goal. I know I get load more attention in my old cars than I do my 911. While everyone may not agree, part of the fun of driving cool cars for me is getting thumbs up and whatnot at random stoplights or gas fill-ups. Ill bet that car generates a ton of that.

If only there were a more suitable Mopar, in bright orange, that could've been emulated...

Stay in your lane, Mopar... do the 'cuda conversion instead.

While i tend to think "to each his own" and that we should all feel free to enjoy whatever floats our boat ... i am sorry, but this is an atrocity, a crime against humanity, a violation of the most basic tenets of human decency. Off with their heads!!!

On the bright side a 1025hp Judge you could drive anywhere would be cool.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
