I know what you are saying as far as the concept goes but I always considered them to be re-do's of older cars. As far as restoring the 74 Trans Am, it was the same story with me getting another C2. When I was all done restoring, I still had a 55 year old car.....just with newer parts.

I've often flirted with the idea of buying and restoring a '74 Trans Am - my first car, but I know I'd not be as happy with the overall handling and performance as I was when I was (way) younger. The thought of doing one with a modern chassis, transmission, brakes and suspension is interesting though. The big thing is that the Cobra has completely sold me on having a roadster as my fun car, so cars like the Firebird now have a lot less appeal. |
