Well I don't know what it's supposed to be but it's bull ****. I mean it's just a 305 TBI with high miles, the thing is a piece of trash! Look at the pics of the interior, it's even missing a T-Top. I wouldn't give him a grand for it. I should be illegal for dealers to make **** like that up.....

Hang on a minute.. So its a 92 Firebird with some "SA" badges stuck on the rockers... Granted the guy doesn't know anything since he thinks its an anniversary edition. But he never says that its a T/A, he never says its a high performance winner. Aside from his comments about the SA and anniversary edition, he's about right. The car looks to me to be a fairly clean Firebird, in better shape then 99% of the W68 91-92 birds I've seen around here. 102,000 miles over 10 years isn't bad when considering its 10,000 miles a year. Hell I put that much on my formula in a year and its stored 6-9mo's a year. So its not a rare firebird, big deal. Its not anywhere near as bad as the typical ebay trash. As for the missing ttop, it looks like the picture was taken while the car was on display on a carlot on a sunny clear day, why not pull one ttop to catch passers-by? And how can you say the interior is trashed? It has floor mats on the floor and gray pallex always changes tone from different angles. I don't see anything wrong with the interior, short of what could be a crack in the dashpad, but its not in the usual spots. All the body parts are there, the front GFX look to be intact, the car has all the centercaps, under the hood its not molested, the cupholders haven't been broken off, etc etc etc... I could honestly say that if I were to take the last 10 firebirds I saw on carlots here, and the one on this auction, that this would be the nicest of the bunch, and the lowest priced (so far).

Looks like some dealer applied badging, (kinda like the 4th gen NHRA Formulas and T/A's) Ive seen some PMD products with this kind of packaging, you usually get the badges along with some neat floor mats
