My New 86 Firebird

Hey, i'm new here. I just got a 86 Firebird a couple weeks ago. I'll post some pictures although they were taken before we had washed it and waxed it. Surprisingly only got it for $1,500!

Looks like a grand am/sunfire spoiler.

Pretty snappy dude. I like the black and red stripes. Not normally seen on fbods.

Also it's now a 350 in the car instead of what was in it before.

Re: My New 86 Firebird

You sure that's an 86? Or does it just have an 82ish nose on it? The first couple of years of the third gen had those inserts on the nose, 85 and up I think they lost them but don't quote me - just going from memory.

And the third tail light on top of the window is missing, which is pretty much only 86's had them there. No intention of bashing you here, just making sure you got what you were told you were supposed to get 8)
