SEMA 2009: Breaker, breaker, we got ourselves a Bandit

Kevin Morgan Phoenix Trans Am Concept 2 - Click above for high-res image gallery

Last year in Las Vegas, graphic designer Kevin Morgan showed off the first Trans Am rebody of the new Camaro at SEMA 2008. This year he is back with T/A version 2.0 for SEMA 2009. While the original "Phoenix" T/A 1.0 had the Bandit color combo we know and love, a few of the details were off in making it a true '77-'78 Trans Am redo.

For this year's show he's rectified that situation with a new quad-headlight front fascia and a few other changes that bring it more in line with the uber Firebirds we remember from our misspent youths. Slip into one of these black and gold Trans Ams and before you know it you'll be East Bound and Down, calling for the Snowman on your CB to help you stay one step ahead of Smokey. Built in conjunction with fabricator Todd Otto, one-off versions can be ordered to spec, and a kit version will also be made available through Trans Am Depot starting in early 2010.

Like the style of the wing, but it is too big - it shouldn't dominate the rear profile.

**sudden_impulse** · 11-03-2009, 02:42 PM

Tone the wing down to be about 1/3 shorter and I'll take mine to go.

ssracer · 11-03-2009, 03:24 PM

The whole rear end needs to go

ramairgt2 · 11-03-2009, 06:55 PM

Not a fan of the rear spoiler either, but I can overlook that given the general sexiness of the rest of the car.

SuburbGT · 11-04-2009, 08:07 AM

i like the spoiler...

ssracer · 11-04-2009, 08:23 AM

it looks like the batmobile or something from the back. That front end actually flows better with the rest of the car than the 70 front end on the other concept. Take the two cars and combine them and you might have a winner

I don't see what the big deal is. As ugly as the Camaro.

I find nothing about the Camaro ugly, except maybe some of the interior.

See I agree with you again Chris, sure the Camaro is cool, but it could be so much better. And yes the interior is nothing special at all. However I do really like these Trans Ams

~~[ChaosweaveR]~~ · 11-04-2009, 08:48 AM

It's bulky, big, and cartoonish looking just like the Camaro.
