Hiergehts ◊ 2005-12-29 21:04	The car on the left is actually a 1979-1981 Pontiac Trans-Am. The Camaro is a 1980 or 1981 model going by the grille. Both are in CHP (California Highway Patrol) colours/markings.
antp ◊ 2005-12-29 21:23	The picture is for the one on the right The other one was listed as a Firebird: /vehicle_7544-Pontiac-Firebird-1979.html -- Last edit: 2005-12-29 21:23:48

Over time, the cars were found to have had many problems, and this paved the way for the CHP to have dropped the Camaro as a patrol car and to have asked Ford for a special police vehicle, which led to the birth of the SSP (Special Service Package) Mustang in 1982. This picture demonstrates 4 of these rare vehicles: http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/5104/0028579qt.jpg I don't know about the Firebird, though.
eaglewagon1 ◊ 2008-06-28 21:41	ok hold on------- thez28 logo shown was used in 77-78, this car has the noseof the 78-81 camaro. now, the hoos scoop was used from 78-79, and the grill from 80-81. the fender vents appear to be those of the78-79 z28, finned.
Q-Ball ◊ 2008-07-18 04:40	werent these used in the unproduced sequel to the 1974, Gone in 60 Seconds?
antp ◊ 2008-07-18 10:38	As they used some scenes from this movie for that sequel, it is quite possible...

San ◊ 2023-02-09 07:14	One of these survived filming and was recently sold on Bring-A-Trailer for $12,750 back in May of last year. Before that it was displayed at the California Highway Patrol Museum. Considering how out of the 200 cars use for filming, over 150 were wrecked, there is a chance (albite a very small one) the others Camaros & that one TA may still exist somewhere. As there were one of the few cars that had a major role without being destroyed by the end of filming
