Pro Am Firebird??
Is there such a thing as a Pro Am firebird? Somebody is selling one around here and it has a Pro Am sticker on it. He is selling it for a friend and don't know much about the car. Is it a real car model like the Transam or just a sticker?

The Pro-Am III Firebird was done by a company (no longer in business) in Chattanooga, TN. It was a base V6 Firebird with large "Pro-Am III" lettering on the doors. The stock hood got a fiberglass ram air scoop attached to the top (looking the Firehawk/WS6 hood), but was not functional. Also side skirts, a dual outlet muffler, a numbered plaque, two-tone paint, chrome 5-spoke 16" wheels (with the original base tires), and different bumper covers.

THis one does have a scoop, not sure yet if it is functional. But I was told that it came with a 305 TB. It also has T tops. The rims have been changed. I am not sure how I can do research about the car to see if it is a true Pro-Am. Is there anything in the VIN that would tell me something??

its just a styling package you can get, my friend had a 91 pro am2 which was basically some decals and hood and some interior things. it was a 305 tbi though so i guess its not a performance thing....

I will try again. The first search didn't come up with anything. Thanks for all of the help.

I did a search on your name and found all the info about it. Like I said I tried it before but I did a general search and couldn't find away to bring down the number of returns. Thank you for the help. I guess there is no way to get the info from the vin, I will check out the dash and ask about the org rims. I might get lucky and they might still have them!! By the way did you ever get the web site up and going? Is it still there? I just hope that I can get it for a good price even though it is a rare car. I think my 5 speed tranny would go better in the car.

Pro Am's are more common in the tri-state area (ky,tn, and Ill.). All the Pro Am's are collector cars with a numbered plate mounted on the lower passenger side dash as stated above. Not mentioned is there were 500 cars made each year. The site I was working on got lost in outer web space along with all the info I had. Most of the info provided above is correct but if you have any more questions just ask. Choo-Choo also made the 3rdgen and 4thgen Bandit editions as well.

Since it is a rare car, should I touch it? I was thinking about putting in my black int and my 5 speed tranny. What do you think I should do? It already has different rims. I will see in a day or two about the plaque and the number.

Personally It would depend on the amount of miles and condition. If it was low miles and in good condition I prob. wouldn't do anything to it that I couldn't return to stock form. Really it's up to you tho.
