Lingenfelter 455 T/A Concept
Geezus christ, I'm in love. Reminiscent of my fav Trans Ams, '70-'73.
I'd prefer to switch the color combo to a Lucerne Blue exterior with the white stripe instead, but it's a beauty either way.

Yeah, I'll pass on the throwback honeycombs, but I understand the tradition of them from the 71's.

Pontiac may be dead, but as long as that Camaro platform is going and there is a demand, Lingenfelter could produce these.

My dream car has always been a 1973 455 SD. Do you have any idea what Lingenfelter may charge for this TA version Del?

Re: Lingenfelter 455 T/A Concept
No idea since this is just a concept car that will be on display at the SEMA show.

I would guesstimate 60K+ considering it's a new Camaro SS platform, with that massively upgraded engine and additional custom packaging. Not to mention they wouldn't produce that many and the rare factor would up it even more.

Yeah, the 73's are nice. I had an ex girlfriend whose dad had a nice '73-455ci in Buccaneer red, but it was not the Super Duty.

Re: Lingenfelter 455 T/A Concept
I agree though that those wheels suck, but I think some good ol' TTs would be a great way to ice the cake. I'll take mine in black on black with white graphics...

Re: Lingenfelter 455 T/A Concept
They need to put that type of rear end on the already existing Camaro. The new Camaro's rear end is fugly, too bulky and round.

I personally think they should make a new IROC-Z. Third Generation Camaros were a win/win car, you get extremely good aerodynamics from the 62 degree windshield, and overall low height of the car, then there's the low weight, some of the lightest Camaros ever. PLUS, who can forget the great looks?

I just don't know, it's as if GM's designers are going brain dead. I'll always love my IROC, but even if I had the money, I would not buy a new Camaro.

Too bad I'm not rich. I'd abandon every single auto-maker, join up with some Volkswagen and Fiat engineers, and start designing my own car. Based off of the Enzo, with a nice 10.0 liter V12, full carbon body, aluminum/magnesium space frame.

Shucks, I'm dreaming again.

Nope, the good looks should go to the new Trans Am, like they always have.

I agree on the new Camaro's rear and front end for that matter, they're not for me.
