Car sets in Georgia in a very nice car collection w the original owner. I looked at it less than a year ago. If I remember correctly it has something like 976 miles on the clock. 65k pricetag new.... Last time we talked it could be bought for deep 6 figures......

Yup that's the one! Wow, amazing. I'd love to have it. I wonder if anybody converted their firehawk into a 'vert with another company.
But I thought that SLP (correct me if it's a different company) only converted Formulas in firehawks, not T/As?

As stated in the article......
"A congratulatory letter from Ed Hamburger of SLP dated January 10, 1993, stated, "Your 'All American Street Fighter' Trans Am convertible was the only Trans Am Firehawk built and the only convertible Firehawk built." It was also the last, and numbered 27, and because it was a T/A, there is no "Formula Firehawk" graphic on the doors, like the other models."

Did you think I was actually gonna read it?
Hahaha sorry I just jumped straight to the pictures.

The last few cars were dealer lot grabs converted by SLP and they do not have the RPO for the Firehawk at all. They are just custom orders as is this one.
If it's not a red hard top 350 Formula with the correct RPO it's one of these customs. I think the ones after 22 or something are, my memory fails me these days...

It's a beautiful car and a special one at that but a value of "deep six figures" seems out of line to me. Yes, i know if some one will pay it that is what its worth but..... Formula Firehawaks are valued at what?
Keep in mind that it is one of a kind. Granted, deep six figures... I would think a price of $100K would not be unreasonable honestly typical run-of-the-mill (like those words ever should be combined with) Firehawks are going for around $50K right now. Typically verts go for twice of a hard top counterpart.

IMO $50k is now a steal for a Hawk.....
Hemi Cuda Verts bring 5 to 10 times that of a hardtop.
IMO #003 is worth every bit as much because of the options. I'd cap it at $80K though, maybe $85K.
Being that I'm not into verts at all, I'd take #003 if they were both offered to me for the same price

Ha, Ha.... you would say that! For 100 it would have already been setting in a new garage. It took almost twice that price a year ago and I'll bet the price has gone up.
What's interesting is that the vert is undercoated (not surprising since it was a 305/5 speed car pulled off the dealers lot and converted.) The undercoating turned me off but then again, it's one of one.
