Anybody seen this 3rd gen concept/modded T/A vid or know what it is?

 

Its a Banshee concept knock off built by someone.

Here's the original GM Banshee concept for comparison.

 

'Pretty sure Paul Sher Jr. Built that about 18 years ago. It's a '82 Trans Am. It was based on the "Knight Rider 2000" TV movie in which a customized Dodge Stealth was used...

 

Except that the black stripe matches the banshee concept vs the all Red paint job for the KR2k car.

The KR2000 car was a Dodge Stealth, however, its styling was based on the Banshee 4 concept car as well.

 

The Auction ID is in the screen capture and the auction's website shows the VIN. It's a 1985 Trans Am.

A concept/prototype car normally can't just be put up for sale to the public due to regulations and liability, let alone have a clear title to be registered and driven on the road as this car shows. So since this is a Youtuber, they're doing the normal hype for clicks with their thumbnail and story. Could be a movie car, unrelated to ThirdGen's history, or simply could be someone's custom car.

 

Its pretty clear its someone's custom car emulating the Banshee concept car.

 

Yeah this is nothing more than someone recreating the Banshee in their own garage imo. I don’t think GM ever would have built that car this way first.

 

Okay, if it's a '85, it's not the car I was thinking of...

 

Someone clearly wanted to make something so ugly it'd ruin those wheels, instead of the other way around.

 

New video up... Haven't watched it all, got to the part where the guy who built it was a KITT cloner and I'm pretty sure I want minutes back. Why is it that bad taste is so powerful? The same kind of person who's passionate about making a Firebird (any Firebird) into a TV show prop, is exactly the kind of person that turns a Firebird (any Firebird) into a garish knightmare of hermaphroditic nonsense as a wannabe concept car.

I can't wait for people to still be IM'ing me asking if I've seen this before, or seeing threads about this abortion for the next few years. SMDH.
