1989 Pro/Am II Firebird
 
Cool looking car for sale. Probably not worth more than any other Firebird, but can't say I've seen this custom body driving around anywhere so kinda unique. I'm not a huge Firebird fan but I like this one.

While aftermarket stuff does not always play well on these cars (or this forum), I don't mind these. There was a similar version in white at the T/A Nationals last week. I like the scoop concept (if not the execution), and I don't care for the visual gap of not having ground effects / cladding on the door. And I wouldn't put round tips through a rear valance with rectangular openings. But it's a nice example of a pretty rare package.

It was made by Choo Choo Customs out of Chattanooga, TN. There was also Camaro counterparts. They were also responsible for the Bandit II

They ruined some already great looking cars from the factory. But that's an opinion and everyone has one.

It was a different time. People wanted to stand out, and since performance was dead in the early 80's, why not make it "look fast"

Choo Choo did a lot with conversion vans too... I do not hate any of these, they are just different...

I have seen a lot more Firebirds, I do not think I have ever seen an SX/SS/Team Camaro

Did they do the "Dodge Lil Red Wagon" and the "Warlock" trucks? Now those..I do like. The Warlock anyways.

No, those were a factory deal, not aftermarket.
