Default Anyone here have a Tojan?

LONG ago (probably 98 or 99, ok so not that long ago), there was a Tojan for sale not too far from me. Pretty wicked looking car, IMO, but apparently kinda slow (they guy who told me I think was an idiot).

I figured being a pretty big site, SOMEONE here must own one If not, anyone have a bunch of pics? Google never resulted in too many.

I also know they were all one-offs, so they're not all identical, but close enough for me.

First I was checking to see if this was Firebird-related (since I'd never heard of the name before), and then I stumbled across a bunch of stuff on them....

While I'm sure you meant NEATLY, I'd lean more towards NEARLY

Tojans are quite an aquired taste. The front hood/bumper section is a bit uggo, but I like the widebody fenders

EDIT: After checking out Y2Ks links, it looks more and more like a big Fiero lol

There was a kid around here that had a Yellow one and would bring it to the local cruise ins. While the car got a lot of attention...it was mostly the wrong kind of attention. Like, "Why would you do something like that to a perfectly fine 3rd Gen" and the like.

Seeing one in person...over and over and over again....its a monstrosity and should never had been.
