Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this 1970–1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Passenger Side RH Rear Quarter Panel Steel 153084.
This passenger-side rear quarter panel is designed specifically for 1970–1973 Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am models. It replaces the outer right-hand rear quarter section, restoring the correct body lines, wheel opening contour, and rear panel transition on vehicles affected by rust, collision damage, or previous repairs.
Early second-generation Firebirds (1970–1973) feature unique quarter panel geometry, including distinct body lines, marker light placement, and tail panel integration that differ significantly from later 1974–1981 models. This panel is built to match those early contours, making it the correct choice for accurate restoration work.
