Trans-Lammed? They cut up a relatively rust-free 77 Formula to
decorate their Corvette. It will never be a Trans Am.

Its the 80' All over again, add LS.. The back is as hideous as a DeLorean Movie car, but this car isn't going to fix the past, Or Future..

I saw that in the current Hot Rod magazine. I was surprised at how shortening the body through the doors didn't mess up the lines of the car.

I love it! I've been planning on dropping a TA body on a Nascar chassis, so this is pretty similar.

I love the 80s styling. The over aggressive aero, the discs on the front wheels, the colors all work well with each other.

I'd drive the wheels off it!
