2nd Generation Firebird, with RHD!

[Brian Austin]

 I've seen this Firebird twice now, but know nothing about it. 

This year as well as last it snuck out the door before I could get pictures and info.  You can barely see the dash is "different".  The driver is wearing yellow in the first image, and you can barely see he's on the "wrong" side.

What's that on the front fender? TRANS AM STAGE II

I was stationed on Okinawa 1975-78 and remember seeing several RHD T/A's there , all 77's or 78's . Maybe it was a conversion done in Japan ?  These and a few Cadillac's were about the only "new" American cars I saw on Okinawa .

Here's one that was imported into Hong Kong.

"This highly original, matching numbers Pontiac Firebird in the top of the range Trans Am spec is exceedingly rare in right-hand drive. However, this particular example is rarer still in that it has almost always been right hand drive having been converted by the GM dealer (DCH) in Hong Kong before being delivered to its first owner in 1979.
