89 Firebird Question????

I just got a local ad, there is an 89 FB for sale and the price is right. The ad states:
"5.0L, V8, Auto. PL, PW, Cass, AC, Cruise, Titl, Custom Wheels, New Interior, New Tires, T-Tops, Runs Great"

The car has a sticker on the side that I have never seen, I tries to scan a pic but I can't right now. The sticker is II MA/089 I believe, it's hard to see but is this car special?

They messed up when they printed the picture. Everything on it is reversed. The door says Pro/Am II. If you notice, even the $2000 on the windshield is backwards. Pro Ams were an aftermarket conversion not a factory car and don't have any special value.

Good eye, I didn't even see that the price is $2000 though.

Re: 89 Firebird Question????

It might be just me, but it looks like it is missing the front ground effects. Might be hard to find those. I am only basing that on the pic in the link you posted.

I can't believe no one else has chimed in? I thought all the Firebird lovers were on TGO

Re: 89 Firebird Question????

Buying the car is up to you. Check it out and and treat it like you would any normal Firebird. If you feel it's worth $2000 and you like it, buy it. However, don't pay anything extra for it based on it being a Pro Am because they really don't have any extra value.

Re: 89 Firebird Question????

Yeah thanks for the input, I thought it being one of five hundred made it worth a little more, guess not. If anyone wants the # to buy it PM me, I'm sure they will take less than 2g's.

The reversing is completely intentional; the seller wants all cars to be pointing the same direction in their ad on the page. The photo was taken from the wrong side, and the seller thinks their customers aren't smart enough to notice.

How do I know? I photo/advertise cars for a living! Except I don't reverse photos that have writing in them...
