It's just a "fun" concept car i THINK. There is a pic of that car in one of my Performance Potiac magazines from long ago as well as other concept firebirds/TA's.

Never seen or heard of this before but it does look like there is a Hurst logo on the door. Why would they do this? That's just terrible.

why is the model appearing to be 50, nasty, and dressed for the 80's when the car is from the late 90's and up?

I've seen it many times at the Trans Am Nationals, along with the 3rd gen GTA with the same thing. I've seen the 2nd gen wagon as well, but it was at the Nats last in like 99 or 2000. It hasn't been there the past few years, but the 3rd and 4th gens are. I don't have any pics of the 2nd gen once scanned and it was there last before I had a digital camera. Here are a couple of pics of each.

Now that you mention it....it does look more like a little truck cap that just sits on the back. Disgusting!

It could be very useful such as more space which i think was the intended idea. However..TA's just look awesome with the bat wing..

I think the idea behind that was Hurst wanted to make the ugliest car ever built and they succeeded.
