Other than a bit too much overhang, I think this guy did an incredible job. It's a nice, modern version of a hundred different muscle-era cars, and I think it worked out quite well. https://daytona.craigslist.org/cto/d/deland-pontiac-firebird-custom-kit-car/6846044764.html
^^^ I see a bit of Dodge and Mustang on the front, Fairlane Fastback on the roof, and Mustang/T-Bird/Charger on the rear.
Agree on the overhangs, very rollerskatey. I see Oz Charger, although it’s clearly Ford throughout. Some 72 Sebring/69 GT 350 front cone, Maverick/70 Torino/71 Mustang everywhere else, maybe 72 Cyclone / T Bird on the tail. Looks factory, great job.
1984 Pontiac Firebird and is running with a Chevy 5.7 LT-1 (350) V8 engine and automatic transmission. All the best, Andrew.
I see a lot of Australian and maybe Brazilian FORD in this car. Nothing very original. I like the front vents and wish GM had put a few of those on the newer Holden GTO's.
During 5th grade Art Class (1969) we had to "create something" from a solid block of plaster. The mold was a quart-sized milk carton. I carved a vehicle that, as things turned out, was very reminiscent of the Lumina Minivan. Yeah, pretty boring. Sorry.
But the TransVan show car was interesting. Too bad the production platform didn't allow more of its proportions.
Yes, this is where there was a 'disconnect' between the concept and reality...... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Did this tail design ever exist on a production car (Firebird or otherwise) or did this guy make it up? It's really fantastic.
I read someplace else that the rear end came from an Australian Ford Falcon, but I couldn't find any matching designs like this so I wasn't sure if they were talking about the aesthetic rear end or the mechanical one.
True, but you can see various year Ford Mustang and Shelby Mustang elements in it. Maybe some other Ford products as well.
