Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports offers our clients this new replacement 1970 1971 1972 1973 Firebird Trans AM rear all steel tail panel by Goodmark.
When restoring a 1970–1973 Firebird or Trans Am, the rear tail panel is one of the most vitial structural body components—and one of the most commonly rust-damaged areas. This Goodmark 152938 rear tail panel is a correct steel reproduction designed to replace the original rear body panel located between the taillights and above the rear bumper.
Manufactured from stamped automotive-grade steel, this panel restores the factory appearance and structural integrity of the rear end while maintaining proper alignment with the trunk floor, quarter panels, and tail light housings.

Material & Construction
Unlike some lower-end reproductions or patch panels, this unit is:
- Made from full steel stamping, closely replicating OEM thickness and structure
- Built to maintain rigidity across the rear body section
- Suitable for both driver-quality repairs and full concours-style restorations
? Why This Panel Matters
The rear tail panel ties together multiple critical areas:
- Tail light alignment
- Rear bumper positioning
- Trunk seal and structure
- Quarter panel transitions
A poorly fitting panel here throws off the entire rear of the car. This is one area where accuracy is not optional—and this piece delivers the correct foundation.
