Own it today, its a one of a kind 85 Firebird LG4, with a "Corvette Engine" the Hood is from an 87. Too bad whoever got the hood for the car did not get engine from the same vehicle....

Forgive my ignorance, but doesn't a Stage I in a Vette usually refer to a turbo setup? I don't see it here!! I do see a lot of dirt and BS though.

If it had an '85 Corvette engine it would be a TPI. That's a horribly dirty engine bay.
The lettering for the Stage I looks like something I would place on my mailbox.
If it were a Canadian car, then the primary reading of the speedometer would be metric, kph.
Even if it is a genuine rare car, it would not be worth 50K after a complete restoration. The guy is defintely a little looney.

OH MY ***!! Wow an original "STAGE 1". DAMN I gotta buy it, its worth like alot of money...........................
Is what I hope no one with 1/3 of a brain says about that POS! WTF was this guy thinking?? Seriously this guy IS a crack head!
I mean at least he could have washed the damn thing before putting it on Ebay or does that make it worth more?? Original dirt straight outta the 80's!

I'm curious about the "Wildfire" inscription on the 200 mph speedometer dial.
After decoding both VIN's he has a '85 Firebird that originally had an LG4. The second VIN (under the hood?!?!) is for an 1987 Trans Am with an L98.
When will people stop putting those horrible Edelbrock Pro-Flo air filters on their carbs?

...Special cosmetics... right they're special- the a$s end splicing of this car reminds me of Dr Mephesto's lab in South Park (...and over here we have a rabbit with four a$ses...)
...I just know that it is very RARE! Someone needs to do a frame up on it, and take it to BARRETT JACKSON... I think some one needs to pay a towing service to tow that pile of dookie back to the trailer park that spawned it...

I have no doubt that this car is one of a kind, and I thank *** for that. This has to be a hoax based on a bet that someone made on whether or not he could get one bid. So far he's losing. He just lowered the starting bid again.

And the multi-colored tails, that were on the base birds, came out in 86.
I just reread his auction again, and it kills me that he is referring to it as a T/A
Not even close! And what the H*** is a Stage 1 front bumper?
Poor mis-guided SOB

I still don't understand the mention of the 2nd gen nose clip. Isn't that a Formula nose?

Looking at the car it has a 85-90 T/A hood,82-85 firebird taillights,pro am wing,S10 wheels,some type of vette engine(I think).
Conclusion= IT'S A RED NECK HACK JOB.Cars like this are why third gens have a red-neck,white trash image.

Stage-1 I believe that was a Buick option in the early 70's, Stage 2's I think were dealer ordered parts that you could put on a Big Block Buick.
