Can't say I've ever been a fan, but I have to admit, that's the best looking and best kept Tojan I've seen displayed here on TGO.

More like "Toe Jam."
Thing is hideous.
Just like trying to make 5th Gen Camaros look like 2nd Gen TAs.

Re: 41k-Mile 1987 Pontiac Tojan Coupe

The nicest Tojan example I've seen.

There's elements I like. I think the tail looks fairly good. The overall look just doesn't work for me. It's not a cohesive design. Which maybe is to be expected when you're heavily modifying an existing car, rather than starting over.

Why would you change a 3rd gen Firebird anyway? Under the skin, sure. But it's hard to improve on the original look. The 3rd gen front end (1982-1990) is just a perfect design.

Shame it doesn’t have the spoiler, it really completes the ridiculous (bad) look
