Pontiac simply nailed it.
I love the camaro's, but the 70-73 trans am was just a beautiful car. I have always wanted one since I was a young boy.

I can see the second gens taking off, well they sorta have any way. To give you a example, I could have picked up a 1972 trans am for 3500 8 years ago. The car looked like it was only 12 years old cosmeticly. It boasted a 455/4 speed and 8 track. I couldn't touch one of these trans am's, so original and virgin like this one now for less then 10-15 grand easy. I miss that car and wish I could have bought it I would still have it if that were the case.

I will say this though, after driving one of the late 70's trans am's I am glad I bought my 65 GTO.
The second gens have a lot of plastic and extremely heavy doors.
