Camaro vs Trans Am

Kinda why I'm more excited for my Firebird, that's a bit more uncommon than the Camaro.

I agree..... you see a lot of Camaros, but don't see a bunch of 2nd gen Firebirds pro-toured.

Since you have one, you could tell better if they trimmed the black part of both bumpers.

[NOT A TA]

I'm a fan of both versions of the F body and have had a 71 Z and 75 TA as well as several other 70-81's on both sides of the fence. The 75 TA is a heavier car if that factors in. There's more body prep and paint involved on the TA (if both are in same condition) because of all the extra body pieces. The choice would be simple for me. The Camaro's already apart so continue it while keeping the TA roadworthy. I've made the mistake of concurring builds and learned my lesson.

As far as ROI I think the Camaro is better for the 2 cars discussed even with the added cost of pans etc.

Where have you guys seen this car? love to see more pics/build of it...

Having a nice 2nd gen 70 split bumper, i'd go the TA. or both, one mild one wild.

Guess i'm just an F body fan, 1st, 2nd, 3rd (hunting), 4th (eh), 5th (eh) etc...like the new ones, just dont love them....

I believe that's a Schwartz build from a few years back.
