Please help verify this door panel

flowjoe · 03-27-2006, 10:16:39 PM

A friend just sent me this shot of his new '70 firebird (just arrived this weekend). he had thought that it might have std '70 Camaro door panels. These look like deluxe panels to me...can you guys verify? (my car has standards so I don't have anything to which I can compare the photo).

Also, anyone know if firebird shared the same interior panels with Camaro? I mean door panels...do tehy get standard panels like camaros? I had heard some where that all 2nd gen firebirds get what camaro guys would refer to as deluxe door panels...any help appreciated.

thanks
Joe

Sorry for the size on that..for some reason it always posts my attachments in thumbnails...perhaps it is my lack of "gold member" status. If you click on the image I think it gets large enough to see details

thanks for the response
Do you know if they were used on Firebirds also? Or was a different panel used for 'birds?

Again, any insight appreciated.

I don't know for sure, but I think that they used different panels.

If your friend wants to sell them, let me know. I could especially use the drivers' side. I live in L.A. Thanks, Scott

Thanks guys, you're helping to confirm what we believed. Now, he is going to need a set for firebird...I don't know for sure what he is going to do with the panels. I'll let you know if he sells them.

OK, well please keep me in mind if he wants to sell them. he could use the cash to buy new ones and it would help me out. thanks , Scott
