I think those are called Trojan Trans Am's . They where a licensed kit car conversion. From what ive gathered on the net, quite a few of them where around.

T-O-J-A-N No R. Most people think it's a made up, nonsense jibberish word, like "Carralo", but it's really just Japanese slang for "bad taste, and can't afford an exotic".
It's kind of odd how so many have tried to build something "cool" out of a F-body, and all of them just end up looking retarded.

The white, ugly car posted by Drew, is called a "Johnson Coupe". One of those things is driving around over here in my town. So obviously those strange things made it over the big pond to germany... and the owner ist totally proud of it and did not believe me that it's just a born Camaro...

Zimmer company in Pompano Fl. carved up Grand Prix, Mustangs and others
for those retro neo-classical Excaliber type cars. Lotsa old guys bought them
instead of Corvettes, porsche etc. back in the 80s.
Seen a lot of them in Fla. back then!
HMMM....
One of them cars is worth crap today while a 911 porsche of then is worth
big $$$ now.
