We Found the Ugliest 2nd-Gen Firebird of All Time on eBay


We Found the Ugliest 2nd-Gen Firebird of All Time on eBay

We must warn you, scrolling down the page at the photos below may haunt your dreams forever. This 1978 Firebird has had some truly unspeakable things done to it. In a way, it looks like some sort of crazy attempt to graft a third gen Camaro nose onto a second gen ‘Bird. In another way, it looks as though someone got all jammed up on some good pills and went to town with the fiberglass, bondo, and some synapses seriously misaligned. Raise your hand if you are shocked to learn that this car is located in North Las Vegas, Nevada. No one? That’s about what we thought.

The rest of the car is seemingly awesome. There does not appear to be a lick of rust on it, the original Pontiac 400 is present and accounted for in complete fashion, and it even has the factory rear window louvers on it. The seller claims that the roof has been chopped two and a half inches and maybe it has but it sure looks about normal to us. Perhaps all of that bondo heaped onto the inside of the roof of the car was placed there post chop job. It was last driven 12 years ago when people must have been far braver and had the ability to sneak up on it and jump inside without fear of turning to stone once they looked at the car.

Buy it now for $4,250? No thankee.

Thanks to Chris Cope for the tip!

    That’s a mess. Is it just my imagination, or is the headliner made up of an inch or two of bondo?

    I like the comment: “This car is way cool and turns heads anywhere it goes”.

    Yes, heads turn all the way around and then spew green vomit…

      Funny! I was going to post a similar idea. This car reminds me of that Corvette monstrosity.

      This would be a hillarous car to make seriously fast and take on Powertour.

    This thing has 3 bidders so far.
    Vehicle has been baking in the Las Vegas sun for 12 years.
    2 1/2″ top chop, lousy Federally-regulated-to-death 400 ( in the neighborhood of 160 h.p.),but hey.
    No rust.

      Take a closer look. All three bids are from the same person. Probably the owner.

      Those BFG’s date from the 80’s and have been baked in the Vegas sun forever.

      Good luck getting in a driveway with 3 feet of front overhang.

    I sure believe it’s chopped. Check out photos of the original ‘Bird and compare to this. Notice that there is also fender flares back. That means even more bondo. The headliner was the “best” part of this. Made of bondo about two iches thick. Think if it drops to your head while goin flat out at the highway. Ouch!

    ” There does not appear to be a lick of rust on it”

    Except for the huge rust spot on the hood coming up from under all the bondo of course.
