Keep your eyes open for a trashed car on Craig's List. It's probably the only way to find a hatch. Here's a pic of my car with the Iroc Hood and the repaired front spoiler.

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?
Hey, no worries here. I don't take that as hate at all. Some people like some things and some like others. I had one of these in the 80's, sold it to buy my wife a Honda...then she left with her childhood sweetheart. I swore I'd find one again and it took 20 years. Here's a pic of me with my old one around 1990...

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?
shame you cant get the whole body. The widebody flares and hardtop would make a good race car. You would be able to fit some pretty serious tires under the front and back with little work, with a wider stance too.
as long as the floor is not gone

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?
Wish I could have purchased the whole car. My thoughts exactly on the flares and hardtop. Thought about adding it to my car but then I would have to modify the flares to fit my front bumper. Think I rather sell it to someone who will use it as is without modifying.

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?
Dang... How much are they hosing you for those parts? Why is it that all of the good stuff is down south? I could use pretty much all of that shell (no GFX on my 91 bumpers ), considering it's at least mostly straight and rust free...

Kinda reminds me of a Monza from the front end, and a Delorean on the back end.

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?
looks like a damn Delorean
ok everyone loves back to the future, deloreans are kinda cool, but if u want one buy one not a firebird/camaro and make it look like one, if i was at a gas station and i was told "Nice DeLorean" i think id be a bit offended

And they made 50 Contempo Cantaras and supposedly 4 Cantara GTS like mine. A Cantara GT is a one with the big Fiero wing and the front spoiler.
And BTW, I have owned Fieros....let the jokes begin....but be nice...my wife is cheating on me so my life sucks right now.

Holy crap. I don't have anything to add, other than my astonishment that I responded to this thread over a decade ago...

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?
So I just picked up an '85 Contempo Camaro and im curious...since the cars body kit was designed by Contempo Van...does that mean the "VAN" in my accessory sheet is Contempo? Or is there a code in the accessory sheet to say if its from the factory or if someone put it on? Any help on this would be awesome.
