From that picture, it looks like the car had down syndrome.

I've liked a lot of Kevin Morgan's stuff. However it's still not a Trans Am, just a Camaro with a body kit.

Or in this case, a chopped picture.

The official release for it is in 2 weeks at the Trans Am Nationals in Dayton. I think.

I will look for better pictures when that comes.

yes i know but they could possibly sue for likeness...but it wont happen

and i doubt the $5 per car really kept them from making another firebird
