While I wasn't actively searching for a dealership specializing in lifted Pontiac Trans-Am WS6s, I stumbled upon this place. I was browsing Facebook when a video appeared showcasing David T’s Camaro and Firebird Auto Center, although the business name wasn't mentioned. Noticing the myriad of cars on the property along with signs for “LAY-A-WAY PLANS AVAILABLE,” I felt compelled to track it down. It turns out it's located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
I've encountered classic GM car collections before, but nothing compares to this. It resembles a hoarder’s paradise, featuring nearly every Camaro and Firebird variant from 1967 to 2002. According to the company's website, the inventory lists 1,003 Firebirds and 1,125 Camaros, which may or may not be precise, but it certainly appears plausible. A glance at the aerial view clearly shows this place is packed.
It's no surprise that some of those Screaming Chickens have been there for quite some time.
If you take a Google Street View tour, you'll find hot rods in excellent condition, some in poor shape, and everything in between. The fence surrounding the 8.5-acre lot proclaims “MANY PROJECTS TO BUILD” and “MANY CARS READY TO DRIVE.” I'm fairly certain one of the Firebird limousines parked out front qualifies as ready to drive (there are two).
I found listings for several intriguing vehicles, including the previously mentioned WS6 4×4 and the Firebird limos. The elevated Trans-Am is a flood-damaged car mounted on a 1979 truck frame, priced at $34,129 USD ($47,000 CAD). For one of the four-door T-top limousines, you'll need to pay $49,378 USD ($68,000 CAD).
David T’s Camaro and Firebird Auto Center
There's certainly a bit of history surrounding David T’s. It's a center for those in search of rare parts, and several YouTube and TikTok videos have been filmed there. Numerous Google Reviews commend the business for its extensive selection, while others criticize the prices as being “three and four times too high.” I'm not an expert on the Camaro and Firebird parts market, but I've noticed similar complaints regarding other companies that focus on a single make or model. When they possess parts that others lack, they can set their own prices—no matter how outrageous it might seem.
I'm not here to evaluate whether the prices are justified. I simply wanted to highlight that such a place exists, and if you're on the lookout for the GM muscle car equivalent of unicorns, they might have what you need. Shipping to the U.S. could be pricey, but ultimately, it comes down to how desperately you want it, and there's no shame in that.
Finally, the website mentions that David T. is considering selling the business, but he would like to remain involved if that occurs. Perhaps you're someone who is ready to take on such a monumental task out of love for the cars. If so, reach out to them.
