The rear spoiler was pilfered from Pontiac prior to the debut of this car in Trans Am by Chevrolet engineers. The car had a tendency to lift at speed and the low spoiler did not produce enough downforce to plant the car.

What a privilege to have a ride in that car and such a cool owner. He's the kind of owner collector's should be.

That car and owner are awesome. Way to have an Iconic ride and use it. That N/A 302 Chevy gets all of it!! I have a old school but built to the hilt 327 L-79/M21 stick in my 68 Camaro and it likes to hammer and rev to the moon. It's impossible to just drive it, the heart races in anticipation because they have nothing down low and then it's Holy Sheite, car going sideways and tire smoke follows.

@AutotopiaLA 4 года назад

Awesome comment and sounds like you have a badass 68 there

@jerryp514 2 месяца назад

Whether it’s got a 327 crank or a 283 crank, a 327 block makes a magic engine. Sure miss mine.

@adamlemus7585 4 года назад

I love trans-am cars. One thing that I always found strange how so many people don’t know about it. Definitely a lot of people in Mustang and Camaro group aren’t aware. Every time I bring it up I get the ol “Trans-Am’s we’re made by Pontiac genius!” Comments.

@JackDaniel617 3 года назад

Yeah buddy! All muscle car nuts should know about Trans-Am and the SCCA, if not for them muscle cars would suck! Aside from drag racing Trans-Am is why muscle cars exist. Everyone knows about NASCAR and "Stock Car" racing but Trans-Am is REAL Stock Car racing! Like you said, Camaro and Mustang people don't know about it but those cars were built intentionally to compete head to head in Trans-Am just like the Firebird (people don't get Trans-Am was an option package named for the racing series 😝), Amc Javalin, Challenger, Barracuda and Cougars.

The plastic on the nose was made by Lexan which sponsored Chaparral... Specially made skirts for the J vacuum car. So Hall also used it for the Trans-Am Camaro project.
