Question SlingShot TransAM????

I was browsing ebay and found this TA...what does everyone think? Ever heard of this or is just some custom built car where they are trying to get a ridiculous amount of money out of?

That is soo ugly. It's been on eBay for like a year now I think. It was the idea of 3 guys at some GM dealership. If you scroll towards the very last few pics in the auction, it gives their names & the dealership it was made at. I've seen those hoods in person and they are the most hideous thing, right next to the VFN 4" ws6 hood

I think anyone stupid enough to drop 65k on that doesn't have 65k to spend.

Minus the Breathless and painted nostril on the bumper, the exterior looks alright. The interior looks like ****. How about that cover in the hatch area? Love that matching lettering.

Whole package looks like somebody had a shopping spree on eBay, and ended up with a bunch of "unique" mods that don't do anything for the overall appearance of the car.

Not my cup of tea. But if it makes somebody happy, then it serves its purpose, right?

Needs a WS9 or superhawk hood, different tips, delete badges, and black interior.

I like the stainless inside, and the painted rear panel looks good. Ive never seen that before, I might try that. Painted sail panel looks good too. What BBS wheels are those?
