If you havent seen this one yet. I've never seen one that I can remember

Looks like an ASC car. Obviously spent a bit of its life outside GM getting modified before it was sold.

 

Jeez, I haven't seen one of them in years!

Used to remind me of the ole Nissan 300zx's from the 80's....

 

I just got done throwing up, think I'm fixing to go back.

Man that is one of the worst body kits I have seen for fbodys.

 

I can appreciate the workmanship but not really my taste either.In the early 80's I probably would have liked it though.Just looks dated now.

 

Lol never seen a Tojan before? I dont like it either, but never seen the vert version that I recall.

 

There's a lot about the exterior I like. Some things appear somewhat unusual however, such as the fender panels, but I would love to see her up close and personal. One thing is for sure - she's as clean as a new bar of soap.

 

Interesting. Not my cup of tea, but, it has a few pros and cons. Kind'a like how concept cars give you an idea what a car will look like but not yet quite done right, if you know what I mean.
The fat fenders make it look like it's been through the MacDonald's drive through one too many times.

 

The auction states:
"Description:
Commissioned by General Motors, Knudsen Automotive, Inc. produced 136 Tojans (123 Hardtops and 13 Convertibles) between 1984 and 1991. These cars were sold through a Select and Elite group of Pontiac Dealers, in California, New Jersey, Texas and Florida "

This car was obviously not "commissioned by GM", but was a limited run conversion by an independent shop that marketed the car to Pontiac dealers. 136 cars is a lot. Does anyone know more about the Trojan, or the Knudsen company? Does anyone recognize the convertible conversion as one by another coach builder like Matrix, Straman, ASC or others? Usually a company like Knudsen would have a coach conversion company (like one of those mentioned) convert it into a convertible and Knudsen would add the funky body kit items onto a convertible or hardtop. (They are in the body kit business, not the frame reinforcing/engineering business).

This is just a guess, so if anyone out there knows the real story.....tell it!

 

Finally, a TA that looks good to me!

 

was there ever a bigger waste of time then the tojan? no offense to anyone who likes em

 

HAHAHA! Thats what i was going to say!

 

I think they rock simply because you will NEVER see another one on the road at the same time. Plus at the core, it's an F.



Talk about your unique car.

 

saw one for sale...widow listing, fberglass body, tons of money in it. Didn't look like a Camaro to me. Thanks, but no thanks.

 

I have some dislikes about it, but more likes so.....

First Tojan 'vert I've ever seen though.

How'd they get the Camaro TPI Y-pipe air filter housing over the radiator? Hood doesn't look scooped/raised...

 

First convertible Tojan Ive ever seen
Also the first one Ive seen using a camaro intake

Interesting find
