Saw 2 rare 'birds around town

down here in fredericksburg va, i saw 2 rare birds this past week
one was a bandit II...it was looking pretty clapped out...odd looking lady driving it....

and the other night, i was getting some gas and an old, big whitebearded man drove up in a red 88 firebird...what caught my, was the rear fender flares, and the coveted 2nd gen style spoiler! i told him how rare it was...he laughed and said he bought it for $800!!!! i wanted to make an offer and buy it from him, but the wife would kill me if i brought home another fbody

how many of those 2ndgen spoiler cars were made? and how much would you pay for a repo spoiler like that?
I'd like to get my hands on one and remake them.

There were no 2ng Gen style spoilers on Third Gens, unless you're thinking of something else.

he's thinking the appearance package for the firebird in 1988.... the rear spoiler looks similar to a late 2nd gen spoiler.

wow, never saw that before either, it's really cool! I'd like to see how it would look on a black 91-92 TA, to see if it would resemble the smokey and the bandit car.

I can't believe the interest you guys have in that spoiler! I had one for a year and couldn't sell it on here!
