1991 Trans Am TOJAN KNIGHTMARE

I've never seen one for sale before, and never seen one in person, either. Super rare car. I think they're actually pretty cool...

Guy near me bought a Tojan from the original owner. I think it was an 88. Car sat for probably 20 years. Think it had under 60k on it. Wasn't a Knightmare tho. He bought it to flip. He knew it was rare, but I guess he didn't know how rare it was. All he did was get it to run. Sold it for $2k.

 

interesting. never seen one before either.

 

Those are interesting cars, only seen them online before and maybe once on eBay. That car is the definition of excess but man it looks cool. Anyone know if they were real performers or if it was more of a cosmetic package?

 

As far as I can remember they had no drivetrain performance upgrades. Wish I didn't delete those pics I took of the Tojan I saw.

 

I saw one at a show in Atlanta many years back. The pics make it look really good, but up close, it looks kinda cheap. There were no performance upgrades, only visual.

 

It isn't a visual upgrade IMO either LoL!!!

 

The listing has been removed so they must have sold it. They wanted $35k

 

It was just an aftermarket body kit you could buy and glue onto a car, not "a car" in and of itself. Strictly add-on fiberglass and whatnot. No change to the car itself underneath all that. Alot like "van customizing" used to be, back in the day.

It looks utt bucking fugly to me, always has. The Corallo kit for the Camaro struck me about the same way. (for all I know, might have been the same mfr? Iunno) Butt that's just personal opinion and taste or lack of it, others may well differ, and some at least obviously do. I can't see how it makes the car any more "valuable", except for The Greater Fool type of value.

 

I think these cars were all put together at a place in Kansas City. I don't think it was a body kit that you could buy and put together yourself. The reason why I say that is a guy in my town that used to own a Pontiac dealership was friends with the owner of Tojan and went down to his place and would buy tons of new takeoff parts

 

Right: dealers could send their cars in to have it done. Kind of like the early convertible conversions that had the 2 humps... my old-timer's disease just kicked in on the name of that company. I don't mean that it was the kind of thing you could go to the store and buy and put on yourself.

 

Fugly imo.

 

Uglier than the Choo Choo customs crap
