would love to know how someone puts 26k into a 383 stoker, either way that guy ruined ANY collector value of it being a true Firehawk with all the mods he's made to it

Personally i dont like those "racing" seats. I also think its overpriced. For that price you could get a decent C5Z.

Seems a lil high priced but hey, if it's worth it to you go for it. Looks like a sweet car.

Trouble looking for a place to call home usually it's best to steer clear of heavily modded cars unless you know the car and it's background. That's lot of change to drop to have to finish someones half thought out or poor assembled project.

Anything that makes a firehawk worth getting has been removed on that car.

I would have to agree with all the above. Nothing rare about that car anymore! Sharp looking but to me way over priced. For that kind of money I would look for a bone stock TA with super low miles there out there..Good luck

for that kind of money I would be looking for a clean C5. I would totally be rolling in this car http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/4478530144.html long before I would pay anywhere near the same price for that "firehawk".

Even if the price were lower, it looks like it was used for racing a lot with those mods. He probably was hard on the engine and tranny etc. imo it's better just to find a good condition stock car and put the mods you want on it.

for the money, a nice c5 can be had for half that or little over, maybe a c6 i dont know. if ur dead set on a firebird/firehawk, ive seen cleaner examples for less. depends what ur priority is.
personaly id find a hell of a nice vette in that ballpark, but im not u.
but u did ask for advice, so i agree with the others, pass on it.
