This is a 1980 Trans Am LIMOUSINE made by Specialty Occasion Cars! I ran across this while looking up stuff for my 1980 Firebird a few years ago! I just found the pic and even tho' it's not a 3rd gen I decided to share this with everyone!!!

I agree it wouldn't be much as far as racing or modifying the engine but I think it would be awesome to cruise around town in one of those!! You know how much attention you would get riding in somethin' that rare!!

You think that's weird! You should see the thirdgen firebird in springfield that has been just slightly stretched but still has two doors and not four.....here's the catcher tho'....it's got TWO rear axles for a total of 6 wheels on the car and the back has been converted to look like an El Camino!! Now THAT thing is UGLY!!

You think they used 2 or three cars to make that mess. Speaking of odd, I know I guy that has a 70's streched Lincoln with a 6-71 blower and a 427(Ford)!
