Is it a V6 car with a fake Ram Air hood? I remember seeing them on the lots back then. I believe either ASC or SLP made them.

The Pro-Am III Firebird was done by a company in Chattanooga, TN. The cars are base V6 Firebirds with large "Pro-Am III" lettering on the doors. The stock hood got a fiberglass ram air scoop attached to the top (looking the Firehawk/WS6 hood), but it's not functional. It also got side skirts, a dual outlet muffler, a numbered plaque, two-tone paint, chrome 5-spoke 16" wheels (with the original base tires), and different bumper covers.

As far as I know, they're just glorified V6 Firebirds.

I would say more Ricerized V6 lol All show and still no go (although I'm sure even the 3.8 'birds can beat imports).

Then it was swapped in. Unless the RPO sheet has "LT1" on it.

o_0 The RPO sheet is the sticker in the glovebox (driver door on your year) which has a bunch of 3 space alpha-numeric codes on it, like LT1 and GU6.
