Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?

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.

It could have been, but remember, it was 1990. There were still a bunch of them on the road then.

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?

Back from the dead, my fiance's cousin told me about one at the local junk yard. Pulled the hatch and only one side today, will pick up the other side tomorrow.

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

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...

Hosing? Hardly. If they knew what it was and priced accordingly, I wouldn't have felt as though I was stealing from them.

Re: Contempo Firebird? WTF?

Mine are 11x17 and 12x17 they are off a race car, not sure about the contempos but with the flares on it, they would fit

There was a set on ebay for something like 5K but they were porsche bolt pattern

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...

Benc, look in the exterior parts for sale section of the boards. I have a thread in there. Dismiss the (no longer for sale) part, it will not let me change that. I will provide a link later.

I'm in Tampa, Florida but am willing to drive as far as Atlanta to deliver if needed.

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.
