You've heard of the Rockford Files, right? 1970s' TV show… saint Garner drove a series of gold Pontiac Firebird Esprits of 1974-1978 vintage. Well, David Shore, who created the only funny medical show, House, is working on a remake of Rockford, this time starring Dermot Mulroney. You know, Dermot Mulroney, the goal of Julia Roberts' affection in the strangely intriguing My Best Friend's Wedding.

We're sure Mulroney is already hard at work practicing his J-turns in empty parking lots. But what will he drive in the new Rockford Files? There has been no shortage of current-Camaro-turned-Trans-Am creations at SEMA, but we think a Camaro Z28 might hit the spot.

Any other ideas for what Rockford Jr. should drive?

There's precious little footage of the original Rockford Firebirds, but we found a short clip and posted it after the jump. Sadly, there's no 180 in this one, nor even a burnout.
