Sunbird Special Edition? FACTORY FG KIT?
Sunday, May 01, 2005 7:24 AM
I was at the junk yard on saturday and there is a sunbird that says special edition and has a fiber glass lip kit and it looks sick! Anyone know or have any pics of this in its prime?

No way, this thing is in no way a rice car. No painted dash, pro paint job and install. Looks like factory, it had some spanish name but it has NY everything. I will get pics, I wonder if the guy will sell it for 100 bux. it looks sweet!

wicked, a 2.0l 5speed turbo, sunbird wagon. kinda like area 57... it was never there, but obviously it was.

but still, I want to see pics of this sunbird with the special factory kit. hey fontana, did you see any evidence of it being a turbo and what year model would you say it was? I've searched since you posted about it but have come up with bupkiss... so if we had pics maybe it'd give us a better idea of it. but how you described it, it sounds wicked.

I still say offer a hundred bucks for it and restore it. that'd be MINT!!!!!
You'd have one of the rarest (at least factory standards) bird I'd ever heard of!

I've seen that bird around... that's just a run of the mill razzi kit isn't it?

if that's all this sunbird is then I'm no longer mystified.

I bet its just something like the pic above, probobly someone just kitted a sunbird and then broke something, like a motor and sent it off to the wreckers. Just because it has a "pro paintjob" and is installed to its perfection dosent mean its factory, and you cant tell if its not a rice car just cause the dash isnt painted. But I'd still like to see pics of it cause you never know, but I still say its aftermarket.
