Trans Am Depot has made a name for itself by converting fifth and sixth-generation Chevy Camaro models into Pontiac Trans Am-inspired tribute vehicles.
One of Trans Am Depot’s fifth-generation Chevy Camaro-based creations recently came up for sale at Metro Detroit’s GR Auto Gallery. This isn’t just any Trans Am Depot build, either – it’s one of the fifteen Hurst Edition models that it produced some years back. These models featured the same Pontiac Firebird-inspired exterior and interior styling tweaks as other Trans Am Depot builds, but also featured Hurst badging, a Hurst manual shifter, Hurst-branded floormats and headrests with embroidered Hurst logos.
Power here comes from a stock supercharged 6.2L LSA V8 engine, which sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. For those who need a reminder, the LSA V8 produced 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque in the fifth-generation Chevy Camaro ZL1, helping it accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and reach an eventual top speed of 184 mph.
Inside, this Pontiac Firebird-inspired Camaro ZL1 also features reupholstered seats, a restitched leather dashboard, alloy sport pedals and carbon fiber trim on the dash, steering wheel, doors and center console.
This car has been driven very sparingly since it left the factory back in 2014 and shows just 6,690 miles on the odometer. GR Auto Gallery has affixed a steep price to this collector’s item, however, listing it for an eye-popping $124,900. These Chevy Camaro-based conversion vehicles were not cheap to buy new from Trans Am Depot, but we think $125,000 is way too much to pay for a fifth-gen Chevy Camaro with a Pontiac body kit affixed to it. That said, we can understand why a diehard Pontiac fan might be willing to fork over big bucks for one. After all, a Trans Am Depot build is as close to a modern-day Pontiac Firebird as we’re ever going to get.

NOPE, The Pontiac looks better but not $125,000.00 better it just a Chevy Camaro with a body kit not a real Trans Am from Pontiac that the Bandit aka Burt Reynolds drove
Yea, the front and sides look..ok, but that rear end looks like a Power Wheels version of a Trans am.
Actually, I looked at the pics again, the whole thing looks like a “Power Wheels” Trans Am. Ick.
I love seeing when custom builds try to predict what could have been with great cars from the past
Looks like a camaro. If you are bringing back the trans am bring back the real trans am not this whatamacallit.SUCK JOB!
So you do realize the trans am in the Camaro were built side by side They were the identical car with the exception of the interiors were different The front end and the rear end mechanically the same car on the same chassis built in the same plant So if the trans am was still around this is what it would look like because it would still be made side by side with the Camaro
These custom-built T/A s were very expensive to the original purchasers. They sell for what the sell for.
Not real. No signature. All 75 collector TA was signed by Bert Reynolds just months before he died.
The trans am has always looked like a Camaro. They were built side by side with just front end caps and the rear end and of course the interior were different. They were the same car so it only makes sense that the trans am would still resemble a Camaro.
First off NOT A collection edition. The only trans am made after 2002 where ALL signed by Bert Reynolds
Only 75 where made and all say the bandit. Please do not pay for a freaking replica that isn’t worth the price.
Also forgot to add that the new bert reynolds trans am has badging all they way around with bandit on it. His signature is in gold paint on the dash just under bandit and the dash is black. Even if this car where the real deal no one in thier right mind would sell it for less then 330 k. Thats what auctions are going for now that he past away and the car was to his specific design and detail.
