"Tajan" Firebird rebody?

Every year near where I live, a car club called the Good Guys comes around and does a show. During the nights when they are in town, they drive around the hotels they stay at and do burnouts until the police break them up, at which point they just cruise. Lots of people come and watch them do this, and as one might expect, people who aren't in the club come and join in the fun (to whoever had the red IROC vert there, how much did your paintjob cost, if you don't mind me asking?)

This time around, there was a weird car. From the front, it looked very much like an early third gen Firebird, but from the back, it looked utterly bizarre, sort of like a Lambourghini. On the back, in big letters, was written "TAJAN" or "TAJIAN," or some other similar spelling. My camera was being stupid, so I didn't get a picture of it (word of advice: A $1,200 camera doesn't work right until you dump another $1,200 into it.)

After searching around for information on a rebody kit like this, I've come up empty handed. Does anyone have any information on something like this?

And if reading this just wasted your time, to help make it up to you, here you go: http://www.kitcarclub.com/myegallery...id=58&orderby=

Thanks for any information.
