Just picked up an 01 pewter Last of Breed WS-6, with automatic tranny, anyone know much about these cars, anything really special about em?, Its mint condition and has 70k on it, I am absolutely in love with this thing! Feel like I got a good deal on it, I paid 12,500 for it.

The LOB decal package was just an add on for the 02 (last year) that you could buy separately, some put it on other years, but even on the 02's it's just part of an appearance package, no big. I have it, love it, but still nothing special. Enjoy the new ride & good choice!

The '02 year model was the last of the breed....
You currently own an "almost last of the breed."
It's just a badge anyway, and it's not a factory item either. If you like the badge and consider all LS1 T/A's a last of the breed then seek out a badge, good luck though, they're scarce.

The car actually has the plate on the left side front of the cyl,head and the # of the car on top of the fender well with the total # made, guess they made them in 01 and 02. Anyone cut air inlets behind the 2 scoops on the hood? Seems the airflow is way restricted, I cut 6 1 1/2" holes behind the forward air deflectors, cut them up a little higher just to minimize any chance of rain entering and can feel a huge difference.

Wow you sold the ZO6 for the trans am? Why? if you dont mind me asking. Most people upgrade to the Z from an F-body, you seemed to have down graded???? Just a little shocked, thats all.
Anyways, The plate on your cylinder head can be purchased just about anywhere and you can get them custom like yours with build #'s, year, etc, and like said above- The last of the breed is just a kit that you can get. Comes with a keychain, two emblems, and a little document that you can put your VIN# on and frame it (I have it for my 2002).
AND......Congrats, an '01 AT with 70k for $12.5 is a pretty good deal. Too bad its not an M6. POST UP some pics, and WELCOME TO THE SITE!

Well, had to put the Z06 money in a few other places, had 15,000 miles on it when I sold it, had 31k in it and not much oweing on it and sold it for 38k, so I figured with the money I have left and this car at a pretty good price, I can do a Pro-Charger build, to destroy a few vipers runnin around here.
Oh yea, just put a new set of 285's on it today, nice.....

I just think it would be stupid to buy an 01 and go through all of the aggravation of putting false markings on it, I talked to the idiot who last had the car and he was the second owner and he did not put the stuff on there, I dont know, maybe the dumb *** who originally purchased the car put the crap on there after he first bought it, It doesnt matter because in about another month shes gonna be smokin em with about 550 at the rears.

i thought on 2002 firebird models you could purchase the LOB package for around 250 from the factory. I know of an old lady here in town who has a 2002 pewter ws6 and it has the lob badges. Or wait, is the LOB the same thing as the NHRA edition? cause her filler plate says nhra edition but she bought it brand new and shes about 65 so i know for a fact shes not going to mod it. Plus i knew when she bought it becuase i went down there to look at it and she had bought it the day before. I didnt get to see wether or not it had the badges. But i thought it was widely known that the lob was a factory option in 02 and now there are just after market people replicating it. Hmm either way its bad ***. I was going to put it on my 99 just because my 99 was the last of the breed. I think any ls1 bird is worthy of the badge
