Default Anyone heard of a WS6 Blackhawk Edition?

Not Blackbird but Blackhawk.

There is one for sale local (2000 WS6) and the guy said he bought it in Arizona and the only thing different is the decaling on the hood which says Blackhawk, the dealer he bought it off claims it is a Blackhawk Edition.

He also mentioned he has two WS6 cars and that the Blackhawk is quite a bit faster than his other car?

I could not really find any info.

I know what a Blackbird is and what a Firehawk is. But I've never heard of a Blackhawk.

Well I was going to post a link but the ad isn't up anymore?

It had a WS6 hood and the car was black on black.

Quite possible its something a dealer came up with to add more to the sticker price. It's definitely not a Pontiac endorsed package.

I know some people call the blackbird edition ta's black hawks. But they are very very rare. I think sumwhere around 25 to 50 were produced but I do not remember the year. And they had different packages installed which varied the HP but they produced more HP than a regular ws6.

"Carl Black" was the dealership - down in FL if my memory is correct - he'd run ads in the back of HPP - expensive and much more powerful than stock or SLP.

The Carl Black cars were modded by GMMG and were known as "Blackbirds".

Probably something done by a dealership to charge more for the car, kind of like the WS7 Firebirds

Behlman Pontiac/Buick/GMC in the St. Louis area did some special edition WS6's back in 99-2000. Hood stripes and some other garbage that they called their own special edition package. I am pretty sure it was an extra 2k.

My cousin bought a black 99 WS6 from them in June of 99, but passed on the garbage.
