That's a "Tojan" body kit. Do a search for Tojan or Trojan.

Ya, a Tojan body kit, designed to make the Firebird resemble a Lamborgini, hence the large rear wing and flares. These cars have come up quite a bit lately.

Oh yeah: people asking if it was a camaro or bird, the headlights are pop up, it'd have to be a bird, or if it was a camaro it would be pointless, since the bird is all ready set up like that.


But that dont matter cause we all ready know its a bird

I think it looks so long because that a$$ end is so huge. The small rims don't help much either. Over all I like the look of the car, and it's a great example of what you can do to a thirdgen with some creativity. And I love black thirdgens.

Overall, I believe 300 or so where made, and not many black ones...that car has some serious collectible-ness.

EDIT: Meh, I take back what I said....that car looks mean. If the owner reads this, did you do any mods? Is it a 350?

Maybe it's the angle but the wing looks all bent up. Maybe if it were straight it wouldn't be too bad.

They were Pontiac conversions I think any of them ive seen for sale have Been labeled as Pontiac Tojans but its been years since Ive seen one. Years back I almost had one that was MINT but I couldnt swing the payments at the time so I had to let it go, they look much better in person IMO I still like them to this day but I know many dont but to each their own...
