History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!
The Cobb County Police Department, headquartered in Marietta, GA, writes about this strange automotive shipwreck on its Facebook page. “A 1983 Pontiac Firebird was located in the lake by the HOA when they had the water level in the lake lowered to make some repairs,” the department’s social media post reads. “The vehicle was completely full of mud with only the roof top being visible.”
The police department’s post goes on to say that, after being contacted last week, the Cobb County Police Department Underwater Search and Recovery Team conducted a dive to get information on the vehicle, ultimately learning that the extremely rad 1980s sports car had been reported stolen in 1989. The team recovered the vehicle earlier this week, with the police department posting photos of that effort:
Please note it is interesting and we're not discouraging the posting. I think some get confused on the intention of this section. The History part of this section relates to the overall history of the ThirdGen. The development, documentation, what is and isn't correct, what certain RPO codes are. Rare or limited production editions, etc. It's not for one specific, common, ThirdGen's history or fate - unless it were some sort of prototype or other car having some sort of history to the ThirdGen's development or market. Otherwise every member could post about their car's history in this section.
