A couple of years ago all we had here in the shop was first gen Camaros.. All of a sudden I got a few second gens in the shop.. Their is no doubt that the second gen Camaro/Trans Am are getting popular as time goes by..

i HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THe 2ND GENS FOR ROUGHLY 15YRS. THEIR POPULARITY (sorry bout caps) is increasing or shall we say the idea of putting money into a once disposable /white trash car is becoming more prevalent. as the 1st gens become common and bland, the following generation with pick up. the 3rd gens will follow. I think there have always been at least 8-10 in my vicinity for all those years too.

Having grown up with the great looking 455 '71-'73 T/A's, they were the baddest cars going IMO back then because of their whole race car look, plus there were so few made, which added to their appeal.

That 455 H.O. added some fun as well!!:wow: :thumbsup:

I like all the 2nd gen T/A's. Pontiac nailed the styling on every version IMO. Hated the heft of the doors on my '74 T/A though. :(

To me the T/A's lost that raw look of the '70-73's when the bumpers changed. Same with the Z's.

Even so I liked seeing this one restored. :cool:

It should be interesting to see what people create as more and more 2nd gen F-bodies get the envelope pushed on them like on the 1st gens.

The Camaro with the Carbon Fiber stuff belongs to Matt from Anvil.. You are welcome to stop on by & check it out..

I am sure we can fit in another 2nd gen in the shop :D
