Re: Is this a firebird?
It's kind of difficult to see exactly what the front end looks like in that pic, but I saw a Firebird at the junkyard today that had a funky looking front end on it, and it looked something like that.
It was damaged and was falling off, but it looked like it had been made for the car, rather than just a hack job. Maybe that's what it was.
But there was no body kit. The rest of the car looked normal.

Re: Is this a firebird?
The Togan was made by Knudsen Autos as a specialty item in the 80's. In the 80's there were several companies doing special conversions on 3rd gens, and this is one of them several. Its not necessarily the most beautiful car but they are unique.

They also made a Camaro version of that rolling eyesore called the Carralo.
Carralo translates to "fugly plastic and tacky" in some language. I think it's Klingon. "That Tojan is very Carralo."

Re: Is this a firebird?
Hmm...that firebird does look really neat - in a 80's sorta way. I would drive one. I defintaely think it looks alot better that any of those body kits that people make for these cars nowadays.

Re: Is this a firebird?
I've seen it before. I don't mind the 1/4 panels, the lines work okay for me there wish they were smaller though. Don't like the rest of the car though.
