Pontiac Trans Am Kammback Concept Is Ready For Auction

All of the muscle cars in the past were driver-focused and in generally they didn’t offer much utility, but this has changed over the years. However, in 1985 General Motors produced the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Kammback concept in order to try to tackle this issue. The name Kammback comes from German engineer Wunibald Kamm.

This concept never reached production, but one of the prototypes is on the list for Barrett Jackson’s 2017 sale in Scottsdale Arizona that will last from January 14 to 22.

The Trans Am in question is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 that is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Even though it was built in 1985, the vehicle contains air conditioning, power windows and locks, cruise control and tilting steering wheel.

The Firebird/Trans Am had long been "over" by that point. Replicating this would be very easy. Not worth bidding on.

Thanks for the reminder of how truly terrible American cars of the 80's and 90's were.

By the way, I think that back then, the aftermarket was selling "Kammback Kits" for Camaros and Firebirds where the owner would take off the original hatchback and replace it with a Kammback and paint it to match the car.

Thus my point. A man approached me wanting me to buy his Trans Am station wagon because he figured that given that I've been known to flip muscle cars that I would pay top dollar. A kit is not that hard to find, but even if you did find one, they are ill fitting.
