Bandit II package??

I just saw a '91 firebird at school yesterday and it was kinda odd. It was white and had the "aero" style front end. It had a "shaker" hood with a big gold screamin' chicken on the hood. It had a lot of other mods that seemed to be factory options. The trim on the center console and radio trim plate were gold and the straps on the t-top bag were gold too. The wheels were some kind of weird style and yes, they were gold. It also had lettering on the fender behind the wheel..." Bandit II Limited Edition". The thing was hideous, but i was wondering if this was an options package from the factory or is it something this guy dreamed up? The way it was done led me to believe that it's a factory or dealer package. Anyone heard of or seen one of these?

Thats an understatement......I love the fake shaker hood though nice touch I saw one around my area and I thought it was a self job, but LT1guy is right Choo Choo made them. BTW it also had the mighty LO3 in it.

I think they look ok, but I'm not a fan of fake hoodscoops. If I had one, I'd make it functional (probably with a real 2nd gen shaker)...that would be cool! I like the screaming chicken decals, but I am older than most of you guys (almost 33) and grew up on Smokey and the Bandit.

Hi I have a 90 Bandit II. The front's look a little better on them than the 91-92 IMO, I guess because of the lower ground effect on the nose. I have pics if someone could hostem.

Nice car! I have always preferred that body style to the 91-92 myself...no flames intended to any 91-92 owners!
