I just saw this on ebay motors. One of 250 TOJAN Trans Ams, and the only one that was white with black racing srtipes. This thing looks mean, but I think its got the LG4 or L69. Its definitely carbed. I didn't even know there was such a car....

That's because you didn't do a search They're pretty wierd looking if you ask me. Definately LG4. Too slow for $22k.

 

I'de like to know what the nose looks like.

only thing I like is the rear bumper. flush.

 

Look at this.

looks like a body kit.

 

that car needs to go on Jenny Craig!

 

it definatly appears to have a good set of birthing hips doesnt it ....LMAO.....

 

Dont you love the lame *** excuse he uses to describe why it has a 305. "It would be ripped in half" that damn thing needs to be ripped in half if you ask me! Take the Lambo wing off and beat the fool to death that thinks that car is "The rarest Trans Am available".

 

hmmm, slow ugly tojan, or sweet turbo trans am. yeah, i can see why that is more desirable than a 12 second normal looking trans am

 

Interesting....That VIN decoder thing seems a little fishy to me. That car is....intersting, but not something I'd want to own I don't think. I agree with Diabolical, I'd rather have a sweet TTA anyday, and you can find a decent one for less than what the buy it now is on this TOJAN thing lol, oh well. Someone will buy it!!

edit: I messed w/ the vin decoder a little and I guess what they did in the eBay auction is didn't put in the last two digits of the VIN (production sequence) The rest of the VIN checks out accurately FWIW.

 

Here's the description; I'll make the "funny" parts bold:

DONT PASS UP THE CHANCE TO OWN ONE OF THE RAREST TRANS AM EVER BUILT.


Sooooo much comedy in such a small paragraph..... hehehehehe... those cars are jokes - Probably jokes when new, still jokes today... moreso even. No wonder people don't respect 3rdgens... the make them sound like supercars, when they're not.

 

i still say it looks horrible for sure ....and way over priced and sadly enough someone will probably buy it

 

that is the ugliest firebird ever

 

something funny, i just watched the movie with jay leno, it was on actionmax tonight...and yes, there's a red tojan and a white one in the movie, it's being passed off as some new exotic car being made in detroit. What was funny though, is them saying it was capable of 0-60 in 5.6 seconds, also, the woman who was showing it off on the platform mentioned "built on an f-body chasis" etc....i think it might have been filmed at a real autoshow, lol.

 

Wow.. an 80's aftermarket kit that looked just as bad as the s__t music from that era sounded... go figure.

Someone on Ebay trying to pass off a smoldering pile of s__t for polished gold... go figure...

 

Well.. I guess everyone has their opinions, but none the less its a rare and very hard car to find... case in point most of you didn't even know what it was...

 

I know what it is... I just chose to block it out, much like I did to memories of K.I.T.T. when they forced him to become a poor knockoff of the Banchee in the reunion T.V. movie... Certain cars from the 80's must be forgotten. Luckily, this one is really rare and can waste away in the basement of some museum somewhere.

 

I wasn't saying I was particularly fond of it, but none the less it is a very rare and well kept piece of thirdgen history.. so I can respect the car, it just seems like people are a little quick to jump on things out of the norm and bash on this site..

 

hey man i grew up in the eightys i was a teenager just getting my liscense and i rocked to those s__t music bands from that era...LMAO .......LOL....

not that im too proud of it but almost all third gens came from that ERA too except the 90-91 those came from that GRUNGE ERA.....YUCK....LOL...

....LOL....:lala:



heres one for ya

What has 9 arms and sucks??


DEF LEPARD......LOL..LMAO...LOL...LMAO

 

I wonder if those rear bumper covers are still available?
And what they woulod look like on a stock Firebird/ Trans am

 

Yea I guess the ugliness factors into why I never heard of or saw one before. I'm not a huge fan, but like what was mentioned earlier, I have respect for it. I would also definitely rather have a TTA.

~Matt

 

I saw that car at the TA Nationals. Its not my thing, but its the only one I have ever seen in person and its a very nice example. If someone wanted a Tojan, this would be the one to buy.

 

those things are soooo freaking ugly there is a guy that i know that has one and if u want a body kit on your car go **** not a trans am.... the guy brought it to work and i was like WTF is that.... and the rear bumper will not fit a stock car its wider... the lips on the fender wells are like 3 inches wider on each side.... SOOOOOO NASTY and the front looks worse.... i mean WHY?
