Is this real??

I was checking out the GM Sports Salvage of San Jose, CA website and they had this http://www.gmsports.com/album.asp?ca...bird%20Formula for sale. Do you think that it is real or just an aftermarket hatch?

Looks aftermarket but I can't be positive. It definitely is ugly though

That's nasty. Whoever sent it to the scrap heap made a good call.

I personally believe the best deal I have found so far from there is the 85 S/E, just because of its rarity.

http://www.gmsports.com/album.asp?ca...0Firebird%20SE

Looks like the real deal...

That 85 S/E would be a great sleeper car with the rear wiper and no spoiler. Too bad it only has the LG4, but swaps aren't too hard...

I hope no one was in that car, because it looks like something really heavy fell right into the seats and folded the whole body. That is messed up, that poor car and possibly person.

Do any of you ever see a wrecked car like that SS up there, and think to yourself:

"What the hell went wrong here?"
