Today's WTF were they thinking??????

Remember the purpose of the Original Daytona Charger and Super Birds.

The ONLY reason the street versions were built was to make the NASCAR versions, legal. At the time, NASCAR only allowed production models to race.

For a car to be legal it had to be "In production". Hence, the MoPar winged street cars were built.
It was never meant to be a fashion statement as so many people (even MoPar people) today believe it was. It was merely to make the race car versions NASCAR legal. It worked, and it was a very successful NASCAR campaign for MoPar. So successful, in fact that the Chevy and Ford teams pitched a *****.


Now, Back to the topic. The Trans AM in the OP isn't my cup of tea, but, I do appreciate the workmanship that went into building it, and the finished product is actually better the the factory original MoPars. I especially like that all the body seems are filled. The black paint is also a testament to the quality of the workmanship of the body work.

Nice job.
