i was at a junkyard a little while back... There is a black with gold trime Trans Am, i think it was. The hood is not on the car any more, but it is laying on ground next to car. I think it was the right headlight 'door' says Firebird on it... maybe Pontiac cant remember now..

anyways, the hood was not cutout like a regular firebird hood. (the headlight doors were not cut out). they still popped up but when u lifted hood up, the doors went with them.. is this somehting special? what year were tehy on? i never looked to see what year the TA was... but i kniow it has a rear windshield wiper if needed, i could get my dads digital camera go back out there and snap some photos of it.. but that may take a week or so.. depends how motivted i am

thanks for any replys...

 

That sounds like a fiero hood. I'm unaware of any 'fiero-type' hoods that were made for firebirds. Where was this junkyard at by the way?

 

i've never heard of this before nore have a seen it either.

 

i think it was in ravenna.. id have to backtrack to exactly which one it was ... i will goto mmy dads house right now and get his camera so i can take pics of it... ill have another look at it if i find the junkyard..

 

Im curious as to what you saw. I'd like to see the pic once you get it. It sounds like a fiero hood to me.


Of the subject....my parents attended Kent State University when they both still lived in Ohio. They witness the national guard came to break up the protest and shot 4 students during the vietnam war period.

 

i went to get his camera today, but all i found was the 2 wires for it, one for the wall, the other for the comp... gonna look for camera tomorrow.. and when i find that yard ill have to make sure there isnt a fiero around it now... im gonna feel pretty dumb if its a damn fiero hood.. but ill let ya guys know.

i was thinking bout going to Kent State... but id have to get money .. and the fact my guidance counsilor told me ' I wasnt college material' so whatever..

not alot of people know that 4 dead in Ohio sog by , i think , Neil Young?, is about the Kent State shootings of May 4th...

 

Yeah, it is "Ohio" by Neil Young. But of course you know, "a southern boy don't need him around anyhow"

 

pictures??

 

i got the camera, i went to a few junkyards . im pretty sure ifound the one it was at .. but for some reason they were closed .... they say open 7 days a week 9 - 5 30 or soething bastards werent open at 10 30 or 12 .... maybe they were celebrating my birthday i think ill be able to get it tomrrow tho

 

brake in haha... i still wanna see this.

 

yeah i definatley want to see this

 

alright lol ill go there now , if they have it closed off im goin in lol anyone know where i could get the usb wire to hook up an ipalm digital camera by panasonic to the comupter .. i cant seem to find it ... i think i might have to buy another one cameras not even mine, damn

 

Hard to believe, but I think I know what you're talking about! My dad and I were cruising the junkyards here in Phoenix this morning and saw a car much like the one you describe. It looked almost identical to a thirdgen, with a firebird wrap-around wing and a shortened engine bay. The hood went all the way to the front (no cut-outs) and it had pop-up headlights.

Here's the thing, though--did you see the rear end of the one you were looking at? This one had straaange taillights... and in the middle, where our license plate would go, it had a center taillight section--with a Plymouth emblem.

Anyone know what this car is??

 

haha MikeS.......Sweet Home Alabama!!!!!....lol, *** Bless the Simple man!

 

well, i dont think thats the same car ... im pretty sure hood said firebird ... may have said pontiac tho... i went to climb the fence the other day .. just to realise the fence is like 12 foot high.. im not sure if they closed down or what, both times i went there they were closed. . ill try to stop by tomorrow or so ...

But until i get a SD card reader or find the cable to hook camera to PC im not to worried about rushing it... but if i did see it , i could confirm whether it said pontiac or firebird, so well see.. ill keep this post bookmarked so if it gets set back a few pages i can find it and post the pic

 

Did it look like this?






spike1856, the car you're thinking of is a Dodge Daytona.

 

dodge daytona/ chrysler conquest

 

kind of like that style, this is driving me insane not being able to gert in there and take a pic.. im gonna go tomorrow at around noonish.

 

That isn't the car I saw... in fact, it's nothing like it. The one I saw had a solid hood all the way to the front, and in the place where a camaro would have headlight pockets, it had popup headlights. It had body lines identical to a camaro, but with a firebird wing and an engine bay that looked shorter than normal. The back was round like a thirdgen, not angular like a Conquest. I couldn't see the top of the hood, because it was sitting on top of two other cars and the hood was open...

 

ya some daytonas had wraparound wings

 

The car in the picture is a Fiero, I posted it so Mshrmhd could see if the hood was the same one that he saw.

The car that you saw, Spike, was a Dodge Daytona/ Plymouth Laser. I knew exactly what it was when you posted the description. A while after I posted, I noticed that I probably didn't make the distinction between the two clear.
Here's the daytona.

 

did you get the pics, get the pics i wanna see!
