Wonder if its a real firehawk. Has a ws6 hood which wasnt available until 95 on the comp t/a
If I had the cash I would buy it. My formula was a green hardtop 6spd with tan cloth lol

It has the correct rims but it looks like the Firehawk decal on the driverside headlight door is also missing. Did it have a tag on the console? You didn't happen to get the car number, did you?

We had a thread about it and some 97s came with the ws6 because of a shortage of firehawk hoods. All 93-96 firehawks had a more rounded smaller hood like on Sean's (Fastbird) trans am. That one is definitely a ws6 hood. I would get paperwork before I paid that kind of money for it.
But vin doesn't do us any good unless you confirm it with a registry. The rpo codes will tell the truth. See if she can snap a pic of them and send it to you.

I remember the thread but i stopped reading it and i can't remember what was all said my memory is a bit fried these days hell i can hardly remember what day it is anymore Hahaha.
I really can not tell the difference between the hoods from the exterior at all the ram air box and seal that i see the difference that's all I can see being different.
And i have personally had my parts department guy run my vin and it came back a firehawk i don't know how he looked it up but he did and he printed it out and slp also looked my car up by the vin so a simply phone call and it's done although all of that was in 2005/2006 so maybe they can't do it anymore .
My car has slp door tags with the list of slp upgrades and what not passenger and drivers side and under the hood im not sure on what all the 94s have hell maybe im no help my heads been a little off sorry if i sound like a nut job i haven't been sleeping all to well .

Tell you straight up its the wrong one for the car but I'm guessing your wanting to know if its an aftermarket or slp?

cool. so is she going to give me a call later Im assuming?
Im just worried about weather it has the original panels and structure. Im wanting a Firehawk to maintain in original form. This car wont be modded. The Firehawk is my Holy Grail. And want one in its true form.

SLP said some 94 did get the ws6 hood. they was making them before ws6 option was brought back by GM. That's why i need to see if its the original one.

UHH! Its not the original hood. It was replaced with a GM hood.
It was in a hard enough impact to destroy the original front clip and split the hood. Which on top of that now brings into question if body was tweeked.
Crap not looking good. Got to do some thanking on this one.

The t56 setup alone is worth $1800. Those rims are (I'm guessing) worth a grand. I still think it's a fair price for what it is. If it was all original and mint they'd be asking $10k like everyone else.

I know you're not looking to part it out, I was just using the part prices as an example. I think even if it turned out to be a turd, you wouldn't lose money on it. Ive already looked into it and bowed out, my bank won't wire the money due to the age and mileage. They asked for western union and I've heard too many horror stories with that, and you can only use PayPal to make a deposit on a car not buy it. So its all you bud

Ya i just don't want to drop 4g on a turd lol. my plan was to get a certified check and go down there.
Im going to sleep on it tonight. and have my brother inlaw look at it tomorrow if i decide to proceed.
I got the money. Just scared of the unknown. And the front clip being replaced. It will cost to get a original hawk hood,paint,and decals replaced.

Well I hope they like their car..lol.. 7k value for a previously wrecked fbody.. SLP or not it has been ridden hard and put away wet from what I can see.. I love ppl that think their car is sooo undervalued when they wanna sell. I always say a car is worth zero until someone writes the check. Its a shame this car would make a nice cruiser.

That's sad. I would never put my kids in a v8 4th Gen to start with. I understand why my dad didn't give me anything that nice when I started driving. I wore my first cars out. My ws6 was like my baby. Always taken extreme care of. The two I have now when finished will be garaged and driven on nice days. They will be run hard but will be taken care of.

Not sure why it won't sell is it a turd in person or somthing these cars are old now you have to expect them to have been wrecked or even just repainted and some flaws have any of you actually looked up the blue book on it. If anyone wants a spotless low mileage car that's spent it's hole life in a climate controlled bag you are going to have to pay way more than $4500 i actually know a guy that has a firehawk in a bag it's crazy the car only has 800 miles on Hahaha what a waste.

My issue is the fact it was wrecked hard enough to destroy the whole front clip. And not having the original Hawk hood. By the time i get it back to original condition i would have spend the same amount as a good one that hasnt been wreaked.
And plus what if the frame was tweaked. Im looking for a car that hasnt been involved in a MAJOR front end collision. And wasnt DD buy a 16 year old girl till she was 21.
Plus the engine will need a rebuild soon. its leaking oil.
I want to preserve and enjoy a unmolested/wreaked Firehawk. Not do a rebuild trying to source a original hood. lol

No its not what Im looking for. I want something that wasnt wrecked.
Looks like ill just have to wait. And bite the bullet and spend around 9-10 grand on one.
Im lucky my wife is so supportive when it comes to my cars. When i told her about this one. before i even finished what i was saying. She said get it if its the one you want.
When i decided this wasnt the one. She just said keep looking and you'll find it.
She felt bad for me. So she ordered a MGW shifter for my TA.

Ok test drove the car earlier and inspected it, the shocks are shot, hood is not a ws6 hood, hood is not the one thy cane with the car but is an OE fire hawk hood, car has great power, interior is magnificent except for the controls in the steering wheel there are two buttons missing and the dash has a crack in it, the oil leak it has is the seal behind the opti (is what he told me) hard to tell without jacking the car up, whoever fixed the car did an awesome and I mean awesome job, headlights are good everything works he said the gears were replaced with brass ones, Trans shifts great.

Maybe it is a legit hood from a newer car but without the firehawk specific hood IMO its just a formula ws6. But I'm not buying it so I will chime out lmao.

He said he got it direct from GM. You couldnt but the hawk hoods from GM. That was a slp only deal.
its a ws6 hood
firebird_1995
01-19-2013, 09:24 AM
Slp sells replacement parts through GM provided they show proof that the original part was damaged. That's probably why slp knew this car was in a front end collision, they provided the replacement parts.
Badbird_96
01-19-2013, 09:36 AM
Maybe so but that's still a ws6 hood regardless. Both came from slp and even if that was the factory hood it's not a specific firehawk hood. The firehawk hood is rounded with smaller openings. The "ws6" hood was used on comp tas, ws6s, and apparently some firehawks. If I got a firehawk it would have to have a firehawk specific hood personally. I know a couple years ago slp still sold the firehawk hoods but not sure anymore.

Is it an automatic?
No 6spd.
Oh got the ls1 in it?
Nope lt1.
Oh... "(walks away)
Or it goes like this.

No 6spd.
Does it have the Corvette motor in it?
It has an lt1 that was also offered in Corvettes.
We'll my brother twice removed best friends uncle had a Corvette and it would fly.
What year model.
87.
Oh ok.
Yeah I got a 95 infinity that will beat your trans am on top end.
Oh really.
Yeah low end you will get me but I will catch up.
I've had it over 170 and it was still pulling. Slowly but it was still climbing.
Oh... (squeels one tire as he leaves)

Guy with a probe with ricer ground effects and exhaust.
Is that a Trans Am?
me: I hope so. it says Trans Am on the doors
Those LS1's are fast for what they are.
me: its not a LS1 it has a LT1
All Trans Ams from 93 up had a LS1
me: No, 93-97 had a LT1 98-02 had the LS1
Open the hood to show him....
Some one must have swaped it then because all of them had a LS1....

I once had a guy try to tell me that the LT4 was dual overhead cam, and that the LT5 didn't exist, and his whole reasoning was that he worked in the parts department, so he knows everything. I've said this many a time, I wish it was legal to thin the heard so to speak...
