Crappy cameraphone pic, but I saw one! Judging by the orange, I would put it at early 90's vintage

Anyone know the car? It was seen in Pepperell, MA.

 

Thanks! We now have visual confirmation that it looks just as bad on a Firebird!

 

Boy... did it look weird. The guy was running MASSIVE tires on all four corners! The kit also made the windshield and taillights look too small.

 

yea that guy has posted on newengland-motorsports before

its a 82 or a 84 and the thing is sin ugly

 

man that guy should be run off the road, thats horrid

 

ive seen that car more than once, i think the guys from Dracut, hes been through one of the places i work a few times, i think its got a 383 in it at least, to go wiht the orange color and wide body, but not sure

 

Not sure about the motor... it had a single exhaust outlet on the left, with a dual tip thing. It was also VERY quiet.... so I was thinking 6 cylinder... maybe even a 4!

 

its not a 383 and yes he lives in dracut

 

Anyone have more pics? Is he on the boards (if so... maybe he shouldn't see this thread lol)

And what motor is it?

 

I'd say it's hard to judge if it's likable without more pictures...

 

dug up those pics from newengland performance... judge for yourself






I personally think that with a quality paint job/body work (get the gaps perfect and panels perfectly straight) and some wide 17's from maybe fikse, ccw, or bbs, that thing would look pretty friggen tough.. sorta 80's scca-esque.
It definitly doesn't hurt to know that it doesn't have a stock LG4 in it, too..

 

I'd rock it.

Like 90bird said; new paint, some body work to smooth things out and some large wheels would look sweet flying around a track.

But then again I'm never getting another thirdgen, EVER.

 

My buddy have that kit.
Its an IMSA body.

 

I saw that guy once, one of the ugliest birds I've ever seen.

 

Definately needs a paint job! But ya, that's the car. Thanks for the pics!

 

hope that means u are keeping the one you have now and dont want a different one

 

true words

 

I dunno. Kind of reminds me of double-X Pack Ford Capri (YES! I do like them too!).
With the right wheels and paint, it would be a looker.

Mark.

 

Hey I am sure you guys can all see those pics. But if anyone has a minute can you post those pics right on this thread. My computer here at work won't let me see them.


THX guys.

I wanna widen the rear of my camaro and wanna see as many wide kits as possible before I go down that route.

 

Do they even still make such a kit? The only time I really see them is on 80's fabulous cars like this... usually on ebay with a HUGE starting price.

 

aaron7.....If you check back at this thread today, can you post those pics that are in the thread above, in this thread?

Thx if you can. If not can anyone else?

 

You, my friend, are a 3rd gen ***. I'll be sending you a PM! (anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about... check his cardomain page!)

 

hehe, thx man. Love people recognising a lot of hard work. Hope you guys check it out and tell me what you think.

Hope to see ya this weekend aaron7

 

yep thats my friends cousins car, has a 383, origionally had a 4 speed but now has a 700R4, has a cage, etc.
Seen the car once (posted on NEMS and thats where i found out it was my friends cousins car, lol), didn't look that bad......sure, needs to be cleaned up and the orange is sorta.....bright?, but other than that it didnt look that bad...

 

Hey guys I can't see it. Can anyone post pics of that car on this thread? I know I allready asked earlier, but just reminding anyone new that might have over read my post. Hope someone can find some time to post'em, Thx.

 

Did anyone else realize he placed our side fender vents on the hood?

 

I did above

 

I think it would look better after a week or two at a paint and body shop.

 

yeah, i noticed that They look sooo out of place it isn't even funny. He could've at least placed them closer to the nose and used 82-84 ones that don't have the big flat spot that hides under the ground effects. Speaking of ground effects... that crack shows why urethane is a better choice than fiberglass.

 

I think it could look very good, but the lack of body work and paint work done to that particular car... it makes it look like ***.

 

I saw one of these about 2 weeks ago, i was like no way! Didn't look all the good i think, i like the original.

 

WTF

 

It just looks way to square on a Firebird...

 

Makes it look more like a 4th gen...

Especially the front

 

yah, i can see that.. cause of the 4th gen curves...

 

yes, but i would not mind getting a wide body kit, but it would be done correctly. I mean if you look at his, it was ligned up poorly. With the right work, and some changes to the angels on the rear, it would look fine.

 

I agree. It is a beater with a wide body. But still a beater.

I might have to get the danko wide panels for the rear of my camaro if I can't get the 335's to tuck anymore.

I kinda don't mind how it sits now, but a lot of people seem to hate it. Not that I care, but still It might look more bad *** with the wide panels.

 

is that the kit that is on that firebird, or is that a special kit just for the bird

 

No.... that must be a kit just for that bird. The danko one is just for camaro's but it can be made to fit birds with some extra work

 

i wish i could find it just to check the price on it. Do you know if it is a weld on or what.

 

I have no idea. i know nothing of that bird. Maybe someone else can chime in with more info.

 

Turbo body kit, 999.00 @ Hawks thirdgen.

 

where on hawks did you find that

 

The bottom of the page in the Camaro ground effects section.

 

The only time i like fatass birds is at Thanksgiving.

 

Thats really weird

 

Do you know where they sell it?

 

I myself like it.
I was in a Trans Am Club many years ago, and one member had one. It was the car used in the ads for Pacific T-Tops.
They sold kits and complete cars, as well as installing T-Tops in cars.
They were located in SoCal.
I think the kit makes the car look like a road racer.
