Trans Am Racers
I've noticed while watching many older SCCA races from the 68 to 70 era on Speed that there was quite a few Firebirds that were a little off. Being mostly, 69 rear quarter areas, doors and front fenders but with a 67-8 chrome type bumper molded to fit the different 69 fender contour. I've read some thing along the lines of they were trying to look an elidgable year model and such. My question is, is there some people left around that would know if this was wide spread (seems to have been) and maybe the possibility of parts available or the knowledge of how this was done. I like the looks.
This photo shows it a bit but I have seen lots more with the 69 rear quarters in videos. I'm not real fond of the plasticy type nose. Yea I know its not original but maybe.
To me, this would make a great vintage racing resto or P.T. type build base. Thought it would be an interesting thread starter also.
