that car domain has some pictures of the carrab, and the tojan

 

I know this is old but...



it is a dodge M4S. That is what was used in the movie the Wraith.
2.2 litre 4 cylinder engine that exceeded speeds of 194 miles/hour. designed and constructed at a cost of 1.5 million bucks.

 

^ Holy Hell!! That would be s3x0r on a 3G Bird

 

Hey there, 86 Tojan.

Sounds like you have the same car I do. Mine is red with black interior, wood grain, Recaros, etc... Mine came from the plant with a B&M roots blower and B&M SuperJection, but 2 motors later (cooling problem) I bought it for $3500 bucks... with the blown motor. I plopped the blower back on after the motor swap but someone massacred the computer harness, so I went the easy route and did a Holley 750 double pumper.

It's been sitting and waiting for a new motor (#4) for a few years now. I've been slow in getting it back on the road because Russ Knudsen dissappeared for a few years along with his injection molding copyrights. And my dash is cooked. I should be getting something done now that I've found him. I hate to risk breaking something I can't fix, u know? Especially since the chassis has just over 10k miles to date. With 3 motors in the wind.

Anyway, Merry Xmas to all here. I'm going to bed

86 Tojan...Very unique I've never seen this before, If it wasent for you I probably never would've. Your a lucky guy, and she looks well loved keep up the work.

 

i have a 1989 carralo. the tojan was made for pontiac simulating a fire bird while the carralo was built for chevy simulating a camaro. if anyone else knows anything about it or has seen one please let me know. stevesoucy23@yahoo.com

 

I believe this thing you are calling a carrab is actually called a carralo and that is why you cant find any information on it. I actually own one and it looks exactly like the pictures of the red one posted. Mine is black however.

 

I've always had a place in my heart for those aftermarket remake TG's.. and a place in my gallery also. Here's a few that i've snagged over time. Found more in this thread to add to the collection.

Enjoy

 

does anyone know if there were any other gens of fbody that companys made cars like the tojan. i think these are really neat they are almost like a concept car that was sold to the public.

 

not my style but is a nice car..

 

I've seen a couple in person, and after checking out all the pics on here I've come to the same conclusion, they look like a kit someone started in 85 and never quite finished in the early 90's. BUT...there are a bajillion third gens around and these are some of the few legitimately rare ones. So I can appreciate that.

And I've always wondered what one would look like if someone "finished" it, ie. reduced body gaps, cleaned up the more random lines and added more modern wheels/lighting. Any one try that?

 

I also have one of the rare Tojan Firebirds. It’s been in storage for many years and I’m finally ready to restore it. I’m having a problem opening the hood and wonder if I’m even doing it correctly. When I pull on the cable handle down on the kick panel next to the drivers seat nothing happens. I know the hood is modified from a standard Firebird and wonder if there is a different way to release it. I sure would appreciate a little helpful advice. Thank you in advance, Dennis of Sacramento, Ca

 

When I saw the title of this thread and went to open it I was thinking "Tojan? Are you sure it's a Tojan because a Tojan definitely looks like a Tojan. Tell me more about your Tojan

 

Looking for one of these that was SCHEDULED to have the Trojan package added but never ended up getting it done.

 

too funny!

 

Nothing special about the hood latch. Probably jammed up.
