June 10, 200817 yr I know rare Firehawks are your Holy Grail Camino but I'd rather have a '73 Trans Am 455SD for this kind of money. Also: That seller is a bit full of himself, this Hawk may be faster & quicker than a stock GNX but IMHO will never be worth more money lbs. per lbs. (or as he says more desirable) Edited June 10, 200817 yr by Sixty8panther
June 10, 200817 yr Saw it yesturday downloaded all the photos. Still would rather a have T/A Turbo or T/A GTA from the same generation. Or a GNX, 72 GTO 455 HO in Lucerne blue with honey combs, 72 Grand Prix Hurst SSJ or 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special, or 1993 Cadillac Sixty Special, 1993 Cadillac Deville Touring Sedan, or last but not least a 1991 Bonneville SSE. After all those cars are over 15 years old so I can call them "classic". But what can I say I have odd taste... Not to forget a 79-80 Trans Am 6.6L T/A with WS6 and the new snow flake wheels from the SLP Bandit cars, or a 1981 Bonneville Sport Coupe, and a 1986 Grand Prix Aero Coupe. How could I forget all those GM beatuies.

How could I forget all those GM beatuies. I, was with you there for a while, I can understand a few of those... but the 1991 Pontiac Bonnneville SSE? I'd crush three dozen of those to save one '91 Pontiac Firebird 2.8 liter V6.
June 10, 200817 yr Author Don't forget guys, only 25 of these ever existed. It really is a Holy Grail as far as Firebirds go.
June 10, 200817 yr my only complaint... the asymetrical hood... i cant get past the bulge on one side... sigh... still a sweet ride though.
June 10, 200817 yr Author my only complaint... the asymetrical hood... i cant get past the bulge on one side... sigh... still a sweet ride though. That was standard Formula fare back then - used to annoy me too. But, on these cars, it was made of aluminum! These cars were truly hand-built.
June 10, 200817 yr That's is a f@#king lovely car,lust doesn't even begin 2 descibe what I feel for this car. I wiah I could fine those wwheels for my 91 Formula.
June 10, 200817 yr Camino: I know, it truly is a legendary ride but I'd much rather have a daily driver (donlt have to keep it shrink wrapped) 1968 Firebird hardtop with a twin-turbo, FI 400 & 6-speed manual. Navy blue with a sky blue/silver Phoenix on the hood an all white leather interior.... perhaps a custom IRS & hidden roll cage that would NOT involve a B-pillar section. See, this '91 FH is awesome but it's so damn cool and rare that you'd be an a$$hole to race, or even drive it hard, which is the WHOLE point of spending too much $ on a muscle car.
June 11, 200817 yr wonder how hard it would be to clone? then you wouldnt feel so bad for riding it hard and putting it up wet.

June 11, 200817 yr Author creature comforts = excess weight this things a factory road racer terror. Precisely. Two were actually campaigned in the Firehawk (the tire) road race series - one survives and is in private hands.
June 11, 200817 yr Author wonder how hard it would be to clone? then you wouldnt feel so bad for riding it hard and putting it up wet. Very. The required parts are exceedingly rare.

Oh, I understand all of that, but given the opportunity to own one I'd happily take it.
