Ultimate Camaro and Firebird Emporium. What I discovered wasn’t just a simple parking lot of lifted Pontiac Trans-Am WS6s, but a true paradise for GM muscle car enthusiasts. While scrolling through Facebook, a video appeared, revealing an extraordinary place: David T’s Camaro and Firebird Auto Center. The sight of hundreds of cars and the mention “LAY-A-WAY PLANS AVAILABLE” immediately convinced me to locate this unique spot. And here it is: located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
A Pharaoh-like Collection of GM Muscle Cars
I’ve seen collections of classic GM cars before, but nothing comparable. It’s a compulsive collector’s dream, with almost every imaginable variant of Camaro and Firebird, from 1967 to 2002. The company’s website lists an inventory of 1,003 Firebirds and 1,125 Camaros. Whether this number is exact or not, it seems perfectly credible at first glance from the aerial view. The place is literally packed.
Projects and Gems of All Kinds
A visit via Google Street View allows you to spot hot rods in good condition, others in poor condition, and everything in between. The fence surrounding the 8.5-acre property announces “MANY PROJECTS TO BUILD” and “MANY CARS READY TO DRIVE.” One of the Firebird limousines parked at the front probably belongs to the latter category. He actually owns two of them.
Unique Models at Special Prices
Among the most interesting models listed are the WS6 4×4 and the Firebird limousines. The lifted Trans-Am, a flood-damaged car mounted on a 1979 truck chassis, is listed at $34,129 USD. For one of the four-door T-top roof limousines, you’ll need to shell out $49,378 USD.
A Reputation and a Future to Be Written
David T’s is a legendary place, a hub for hunters of rare parts, as evidenced by the many YouTube and TikTok videos filmed on site. Google reviews are mixed: some praise the immense selection, others denounce prices considered three to four times too high. The extreme specialization of such a place allows it to set its prices, however crazy they may seem. I won’t comment on the fairness of the prices, but I wanted to show that such a place exists. If you’re looking for the elusive part for your GM muscle car, they might have it. Shipping to the United States can be expensive, but when passion speaks… Finally, the website indicates that David T. himself would be interested in selling the business, while wishing to stay on to help. Perhaps you are the person ready to take on this colossal challenge out of love for these cars.
