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.

Re: 1989 Pro/Am II Firebird

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

Re: 1989 Pro/Am II Firebird

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

No, those were a factory deal, not aftermarket.
