Re: Firehawk Convertible Video:

The original owner did a lot of things to that formula, including the vert conversion. IIRC.

Who's conversion is it?

I do not think it's a real firehawk, or is it?

Re: Firehawk Convertible Video:

Real Firehawks were manuals and that's an automatic. The only REAL Firehawk convertible was actually a TA owned by Milt Robson originally and built after the last of the third gens were produced.
See the spread in High Performance Pontiac magazine for info.

I don't remember if there's a whole article dedicated just to the Firehawk Convertible. I'd have to dig through the mag collection to find if there is one.

I'm not sure but it's kind of rough looking esp with the top down. I have pictures someplace of it from several years ago before it hit the market.
100% not a real firehawk.
