ASC Firebird body kit

I just found a pic of this from AutoWeek May '87 (just ordered some old mags ). Has anyone here ever seen one of these? I think it looks pretty good.

That looks good - probably never made it into production.

Re: ASC Firebird body kit

It was a one of a kind car, called the Suntour. They could have sold the GFX kits, but the whole thing was a concept car:

Read about it here:

Re: ASC Firebird body kit

It actually appears that the car was actually a base Firebird with an 85-86 S/E Hood OR a S/E with Base taillights. It had the LG4.

Why? They look like something cheap that was purchased at Pep boys. I know it is the export mirror but it looks cheap IMHO.

because my GTA came from the factory with them, I think it looks good something different than the regular aero mirrors.

Re: ASC Firebird body kit

I have seen them on ebay a few times, considered picking up a set, but ultimately I think the standard mirrors just look better, no matter how different they are, it was just my opinion.

The seats look like regular C4 Corvette seats to me.

Uh, yeah. Standard 1985-88 sport seats. Kinda rare since almost all Corvettes got the base leather seats, but definitely not Recaros or anything special.

I concur -- the paddle mirrors just remind me of the generic junk aftermarket universal replacement side mirrors that Pep Boys sells for $20.
