Well, if it's in perfect condition and has been cared for as such you should have nothing to worry about. If you get it, be sure to post up some pictures.

damn dude, that is definatly a great deal. I would take it if I were you. I was looking at a the last tom henry SS that they had at their dealership before I picked up my Z28. It was basically brand new, had like 3K miles on it, and they wanted 45,000. I wish I had the money, because that was a bad *** car.

actually most "blackbirds" are white! or atleast the most that i have seen are white! and i wouldnt go as far to say that they are the rarest of all f-bodies, but really rare! i think the stage one goes for about $40000 normally and the stage two is like 80 or so. so if you can get a blackbird a for real black bird, then hop on it!

The Blackbird comes in different colors. I remember at Carl Black about a year ago, there was a red, pewter, black, and green one on the used lot at once. The red one got traded in because the guys wife wanted a minivan. talk about being ***** whipped!! I would have tried to trade the wife first.

It varied, the red one i think had 30K miles on it and they wanted like $27K. Im not really sure about the others. If I had the $$ I would have picked one up for sure.

I say go for it man. If you've got the cash do it, cause I thought about buying one when they came out. But they are definately a rare F-Body as far as a TA goes, course mine's rare as well, but also kinda the black sheep for the Carl Black cars in my opinion.

22K not bad. But I too wouldn't like the miles. I guess if you are into rare cars
see what other rare TA you can find for $22k and match it up. All I can say is the Blackbird is one awesome car.

Give Carl Black a call and see if someone will work with you on finding out that info. I also own another product of that dealership. But it's just a replica of normal WS6s.

it will probably NEVER loose any value, stick that in yer pipe and smoke it 
i'd say buy it, you would definatly stand out on this site. only reason i would say to not buy it, is that if you want to mod the **** out of it, you might be a little hesitant, plus low on cash. if you think you could commit to not modding it, i would get it. if you got the modding itch, you could always sell it for around what you bought it for, buy a cheaper ls1 f-body, and dump some cash into it.
