im sure this car gose a long way back lol

 

wow never seen that before, really unique hatch!!

 

Where did you see that? That's like a PMD concept for a Firebird sportwagon and I believe that it's based off of a 1985 ws6 firebird. It was in Motor Trend sometime back in the 80s.

 

Its too bad an aftermarket company didn't make that. Maybe it would have come out like the notchback. That was around for years before Pontiac finally came out with one.

Looks like an easy install and would have provided lots more room.

 

my idea would be more room for showing off you could stick subs on the sides or right below the windwo and amp's for a nice car show or even room for the fancy chrome nos bottles

 

That picture was taken at the f-body birthday gathering at the national corvette museum.

 

Here is another pic of it

 

That TA wa scalled the Camel back or Squareback something like that. It was a concept that never saw production. About the coolest family wagon (next to the Nomad) I've seen.

 

OK, so back in the 70's is where this story actually begins. I believe it was 77 or 78 when pontiac decided that the f-bodies needed more trunk space, so they came up with a concept car that had a hatch much like the one on the 3rd gen pictured above, they called it the KAMMABACK, i cant remember where the name came from, but thats what they called. the car they used was the 79 T/A. They built 2 or 3 of the 79 body style 'BACKs. Of these 2 or 3, only one exists i believe. Well fast forward to 86, once again pontiac thought there was too little hatch space, so they re-introduced the body style, only this time it was called a 'Hurst Hauler', not sure of that name either. They built 2 of these in the 87 production year, only the one red one exists today.
As for a retrofit kit, much like the notchbacks, they do make them. but they are pricey at 2,000 grand just for parts. I kinda like em, if i had another 3rd gen i'd make it the 'family car'.

 

Notice the GTA emblem but the fenders have the vents in them. Recaro seats too :hail: !

:lala:

 

Here you go!

 

cammy,

You were at the Gathering? Me too!!! Which car were you? I was one of the 30th Z28s (obviously )...there were 3 of us without Brickyard decals that were there all day Sat (I was there Fri-Sun)...

 

i kinda wiggled my way in i wasent there to show my car off i just was walking around looking at all the nice cars like that. I folowed my friend there i dont even rember where it was at

 

I made it up there for the drag racing but did not show my ride. I was up there with the MTFBA which is my local car club. BTW both of the pics of the GTA were taken by one of our members.

 

Or you could buy a really hot civic yo... pimp that ish out with naaws bottles with lights and have lights around the subs and lights around the lights it would be phat fo sho!...

 

I personally think it's an embarrassment to the F-body line; thank heavens that it never saw production. I'd go buy a station wagon if I wanted a grocery-getter. You don't look cool in something like this - you look like an idiot.

To each his/her own. This is just my $.02.

your right so i got bord and drew up some ideas in school well what i came up with would be a BB chevrolet motor in the back so it would be rear enigen and rear weel drive all thought then you would need weight in the front so you could put a floor in that and put a t'v screen that pulls out and play's dvd's or anny game system.

(that's just my $0.02)

 

Second coming of the Chevy Nomad?

 

So Gm invented the CRX?

 

well that is the best looking wagon I've ever seen

 

Talk about bringing a dead thread back to life lol

 

That is just what I was going to say. There have been numerous, dare I say dozens, of threads about those cars.

 

It gets better

 

Noone posted the el camino firebird yet. I don't know where I found this pic.

 

Could call that one a Fire-truck

 

You realize that someone put a lot of time and effort into that transformation though. But the big question is, WHY?

 

When I found that i'm pretty sure they said it was a GM concept or somthing.
