Here's are some pics of the 1988 Banshee prototype...










It contributed heavily to the 4th generation Tran Am and Firebird design.

Here is a picture of the actual concept Banshee. Pretty hot.

Actually.... the Banshee was NOT used in the "Knight Rider 2000" tv movie.

They wanted to use the Banshee.... and GM said NO.



The Knight Rider 2000 movie car was actually a Dodge Stealth with custom body panels.

NEVER trade your car in at any dealership. If you get a good deal on your trade you get a bad deal on the price if you get a good deal on the price you get a bad deal on your trade. It's all smoke and mirrrors. I have worked at several dealerships. Bottom line. you never get a good deal when you trade in your car. You might as well sell your car and then use the money as a down payment.

they were sent to sunset pontiac in clearwater florida for the conversion. they used formulas. There were 21 made in 1995. #4 is for sell for 9,500 on another site. I just googled it.

SO this is just some dealer added package with no offical support from the factory.. SO its aftermarket add ons not worth anything extra IMHO..

It looks like a V6 car with a TA hatch....not that that is a bad thing, but it's pretty basic
