I was wondering if there were any Police issued Firebirds??? NO DARE cars. I am wondering about factory equiped.

Negitive.

There were a few squad conversions, one comes to mind, a confinscated T/A that was put in service for the Border Patrol.

As far as I know PMD never offered a factory police package.

Looking at what Chevy had to do (Equip an RS with a Z-28 drivetrain) perhaps Pontiac was not interested.

 

I thought so, but you never know. I would imagine it had to do with Money, Since the Firebird was more expensive to produce, it would only make sence that they would have only made the camaros.

Why get a car for a little more money when a less expensive one would serve the same purpose?

I doubt that there were any B4C Firebirds either. However, mine could probably pass for one if there was:

89 Formula
Hardtop
White w/ lower stripe delete, i.e. "Plain White Wrapper"
Grey interior
Performance Options: LB9, T5, & all the other "G92" stuff
Convenience Options: PW, PL, A/C


Do you think maybe the flip-up headlights would have been a show-stopper? Didn't most B4Cs (no lightbar) rely on the headlights for their primary forward "flashers"? The Formula package itself seems like it would have been a natural choice.

 

I doubt it would have been a problem.

Try this and tell me what happens...
1) Turn on your headlights
2) turn off your headlights and quickly turn back on the parking lights only

If you were fast enough your headlights should stay in the UP position, but they are off. You use this to change your headlight bulbs when they go out.

I had an 89 Formula 350 that was originally a DEA car. I sent away for a copy of the sheet(when it was new-forgot what it's called)and plain as day it said DEA on it. Sold to General Services in Kansas(I think).
What made me send away for the sheet was it had weird things done to it--high beam wires were cut--wires all under the dash--and toggle switches all over! Had the G92 option--dual cats, 3.27's, WS6--all the goodies.
Got rid of it tho--didn't know what I had at the time.
Car was bone dry underneath and unbelieveable power!

 

Actually you can first turn on your parking lights. Then gently start depressing the main headlight switch. It should make contact and raise the lights before you completely depress the switch. This will keep your lights up without the headlights being lit.

Just in case your not fast enough to do what you mentioned. A friend showed me that trick and that would have helped me a week prior to that when I changed the headlights!

 

I just turn them on, then disconnect the battery. :lala:

And before I connect the battery I push the head light switch to off.

 

I just turn on my headlights and then pull back on the little headlight part.... headlights off and park lights on...

 

oooooooooops

 

no b4c firebirds were made

 

LOL i do that so i dont get in trouble coming home late at night!

 

Here ya go! I found this on one of the other boards.

 

At least they could have used a Trans AM!!!

 

The spoiler is how you know its not a T/A, right?

 

edit: actually I don't KNOW that its not a T/A, but why would you put a base Spoiler on a T/A since they look soooooo much better And the hood does not have the louvers... but thats easy enough to change. The hood looks like they glued the plastic Supercharger on it.
