For 1998 Pontiac gave the Trans Am a facelift and put the previously Corvette only LS1 engine under the hood. The result was an aggressively styled muscle car with the looks and power to make traffic lights fall from the sky—at least that is the story Pontiac was selling. More »

One of the most amazing car collections we've ever seen recently hit NastyZ28.com. These Trans Ams are just the tip of the iceberg; we count over eighty cars, and almost all of them are second-generation F-bodies. This is nuts. More »

Back in the day, ads for the Plymouth Volaré advised buyers to "Don't Give Up, Get a Volaré!" Today, Nice Price or Crack Pipe wonders if you'd give up nearly nine grand for this slant-six '76? More »

Chevrolet's Mustang fighter was a big deal when first unveiled, and The General figured they'd need to break out the big guns when it came to advertising the new '67 Camaro. Spare no expense! So, of course, they hired a crew of cut-rate special-effects technicians from the set of a made-for-TV monster movie and put together this fine advertisement. Make the jump to experience some more Cheepnis, courtesy of Mr. Zappa. More »

When I posted the DOTS Bonus Edition Abandoned Oakland Camaro, I wasn't prepared for all the emails I got pleading with me to add third-gen GM F-bodies to the Eligible For DOTS list. I'm still not 100% convinced they belong in DOTS proper, because they're still pretty common even in rusty parts of the country, but we'll give it a shot for today (and those of you who wish to make your feelings known on this important issue can go ahead and vote in the poll below the gallery). I picked this '89 RS, which was parked near the Bay in Alameda's West End, because it's so, well, Eighties. More »

Zero to 55 in six seconds! Not only that, the Early Post-Malaise '84 Camaro had "remarkable" new handling, which apparently enabled the lysergically enhanced driver to hit hallucinated giant fungus spores emerging from the road shoulder. Was GM targeting 9-year-old video-game players with this ad? More »

What car best sums up Malaise Era so-called performance cars than the late-70s Trans Am? Sure, there's the whole Burt Reynolds thing adding some camp value and general notoriety, but this car would be a caricature of its time and place even if "Smokey and the Bandit" had never been made. The scoops! The flares! The great big engine that wheezed out less power than the base 4-bangers in today's boring econo-sedans! Yet still, just like America in the gloomy post-Watergate/Vietnam/oil-embargo period, there was still some optimism to be found in the Trans Am's lines... if you looked for it. More »

Sure, the Dead Milkmen references we all use when we're talking about the Chevy Camaro are fun and all, but "Bitchin' Camaro" is obviously about a third-generation Camaro. Recognizing that Friday's Tiny Bitchin' Camaro was modeled after a second-gen F-body, it becomes clear that what we really need to do is decide on the song that best speaks for the weltanschauung provided by the 1970-81 Camaro , particularly the later Malaise Era examples. So, we've selected some songs we think might be appropriate... and you get to vote! More »

Ohioian Dave Flynn showed off his new, 700 hp Baldwin-Motion Phase III Camaro in Carlisle, PA recently — now his car's got its own publicist. We were graced by e-mail with shots of the bitchin' repro F-body this morning, under the heading "The Devil Is in the Details." Such details include a Motion red finish with silver accent stripes, air conditioning, Tremac five-speed, four-wheel SSBC-Motion disc brakes (eight-piston front), coil-over shocks and an independent (IRS) rear developed by Blue Moon Motorsports for Baldwin-Motion. Well-heeled cammy heads can get their own Baldwin-Motion 450-hp SS-427 and 600-hp Phase III 540 Camaros for $169,000 and $189,000, respectively. It's a bargain, considering an original Baldwin-Motion Camaro can go for as much as a Manhattan brownstone. Click through for more pics. More »
