"1984 Pontiac Firebird Limited Edition, #269 of 500."

I notice it has some funky pinstripes and a different styled spoiler....other than that...what gives??

I used to own an S/E so I noticed the two color interior peices but that can't be what he is saying is limited edition.......

I wonder if it is just one of those regional dealer made editions like the SSA or XS firebird or something.....


Im stumped as to why this guy is calling it 2## of 500.....

That makes sense i'm pretty sure it's something like that.Probably they were taking the base s/e from the factory, v6 engine, dash without the rpm gauge, no rear spoiler maybe a radio delete.Then put some stripes and wings + some profit then call it a special edition.

That's no S/E. That is a base bird with some pin stripes and a strange wing.

What are the other differences other than the dash with s/e?I think rims are different butt he guy says he changed it.I know s/e has v6 option.What made you think it is not an s/e?The reason i'm asking is just to educate myself about s/e.I had one 4 years ago.I blew the engine on a highway and towed the car to the small town mechanic.I wanted to get a new engine for it but the guy tried to screw me and it was too much trouble to bring the car in town so i scrapped it.It had really clean interior.It was really stupid to leave those parts for the junkyard it's really hard to find those pieces for 82-84 firebird-t/a's.

if its an 84 its not a ssa or xs because they were only made in the middle of the 89 modle year.

Limiteds for 84 where Recaro T/A's and 15th Anniversary only...all other claims are bogus and unsubstantiated.

The 84 Recaro is perhaps the most limited of all T/A's built EVER but dont tell anyone...its a secret....nobody really knows for sure.

As I recall this link was about the Firebird 500. Not sure about the history, but there have been other threads about it. It is a real limited edition Firebird.

Yea, there was a Firebird 500 in 1984. I dont know how official the car was, I can check my build sheet but I dont think there is any RPO for it. They made them in 1983 as well.
