I never minded this appearance-only conversion, however, I definitely don't like the T/A 6.6 lettering on a base Firebird 5.0

They did a Camaro too in the late 80's. I found this brochure a few weeks ago in the basement.

Someone needed to yank on their leash before letting them do this.
They were really out of their comfort zone.

That's some serious drinking and bidding results. Nobody pays that much for that car, thinking about it.

I dunno. Seems like a fair price for a pristine lower mileage T-top third gen. Get rid of that hood scoop, some modern wheels, have a real eye catching machine. Bought and sold for good money I think.

That just does not happen. Hah! When you see the bid go to $80k, then back down to $75K and the auctioneer drops the hammer it's all on the level. No shill bidders there. Sure......

I couldnt believe my eyes. Wasnt worth 2200 much less 22k. What a horrible alteration.

Side note... Did the 90's get the door cup holders? I thought they still got the map pockets and the 91-92 only had the door cup holders?
My 91 #130 of 600 back in early 2000's, the birds on the headlight covers were put on by the PO's

That's the first time seeing the T/A 6.6 on a Bandit II, I wonder if that was put on after the Choochoo conversion, my 91 had "5.0 Fuel Injected" on the faux scoop.

1990 also had door panel cupholders; I'd guess no one ever mentions them when they're looking for 1991-92 interior parts since they hardly built any 1990 model year cars to begin with.

Years ago there was a guy that would show up to the local shows with one of these. MAN...he would just blow on and on about how rare it was and you'll NEVER see another one. Very good looking car for it's time. Choo-choo did some really cool stuff back in the day. I always really like their El Camino conversions. Their 'Wildsile' S10 bed was pretty sweet too!

My 85 Pro Am by Choo Choo, missing the flimsy front spoiler, V6 5-spd. Bought it to flip and did turn a nice little profit on it. Honesty, I always thought the Choo Choo conversions looked and felt cheap. The only thing I liked was the hood on the Pro Am cars, it was a nice design. The fake shaker, not so much.
BTW - Would be happy to sell my 83 Daytona TA w/28K miles for 22K if anyone is interested.

Evan, I believe the hood bird is a stock 79 style. The other decals I don't know, I'd suggest contacting PhoenixGraphix. If memory serves me correct those decals should be pretty simple to make.

$22K? Good lord. The 6.6 graphic on a 5.0 engine car would have made me dismiss it immediately.
I've been considering selling my GTA. 45K miles, very clean. I have no idea how to price it. Sale prices seem to range anywhere from $15K to $35K from what I've seen online. This make me want to price it higher, if I choose to do that.
