Maybe posted elsewhere but thought it was an interesting car.

I saw a Lingenfelter (sorry if it is mis-spelled) version that looked like an early second gen T/A at Barrett-Jackson last month. Was done very well, but in the end is still a camaro.

I think the fact it's V6 powered hurts it. If it had a V8 there might be more interest. I still think it looks good.

I agree but the V-6 is very nice package and they are pretty quick for the weight of the car. That DOHC V-6 with direct injection is a nice piece and very efficient. 220 cubic inches, 300 horsepower, 11.5:1 compression and it runs fine on 87 octane. Not bad at all...

There was one of those at the Mecum Auction in Florida in January. Wonder if thats the same car.

Not only is the car a 6cyl....but it also has a salvage title. So this begs to question who in the hell would want a 6 cyl, salvage title, fake Trans Am???
