10th Ann. firehawk? I see there was 1000 made. Does anyone know how many verts were made? All I could find was old articles saying 1000 will be made but not sure on how many verts and coupes. Also if anyone has any good pictures of them I would love to see them cause All I found were small and unclear. Thanks Guys!

I think they really did this at a bad time with that color sceme. I mean the hurst cars they only made 10 but they were the same colors and only a year old..so Yea that probley didn't go over well. Still very nice and rare cars and look good. One last question though. Did they all get "Old lumpy"as the spoiler(firehawk only spoiler)? All the ones I have seen have it.

Not "Ol' Lumpy". That's 99-00.
All 10th Ann'y coupes received what is often referred to as the "IROC" spoiler.
Then it became an option on the 2002 coupes.
I don't think it had anything to do with copying the Hurst cars, ...

The Hurst cars weren't the first to do a black/gold theme.
What's my opinion on the car?!?
I love the black/gold theme. The low build numbers are great. Limited availability.
Rarely do you see one become available for sale. And if one does, it's dependent on its condition whether it brings good money or not. I've seen both extremes on Ebay over the last year. One with high miles & lots of mod's go for low money, & one with low miles & all original go for really high money.
Wanna buy one?!?
(Low miles, some visual mod's, excellent condition, high money req'd.)

The Hurst bird and the 10th did end up "blending" together at the time in the f-body community as even Mecham was getting in on this. The black/gold theme while it sounds like a no brainer to do it on a TA as it was extremely popular from 77-79 (80-81 not so much) it didn't fit the 4th gen. Plus the average buyer didn't go for the colored wheels, same thing that was a draw back for most people on the 30th cars. Plus once the WS6 hit the streets in 96, the Hawks just didn't have the same buying power as in 93-95.
SLP would have been better off marketing the 10ths by building 100 red hardtop 6spd only Hawks on Formula bodies with a LOT of modifications to pay tribute to the 1st Hawks.

Was the 10th Anniv Hawk a pre-order deal? I thought it was. So if it was that should answer your question as to why not many were built. I had a friend who had one. I just did not like the looks of it. I thought the decal package was cheap & the rims were fugly. I loved the spoiler though. Most people don't like the looks of the 30th T/A either. To each is own I guess.

I dont think that they were a pre order car. I live just across indiana-ohio line in ohio and 50 miles from Ft. Wayne, Indiana i remember back in 01 a dealer in ft. wayne had one on there lot it wasnt there long but it was for sale brand new on the lot. I thought it was a great looking car but was too much for me when i just bought my 99 new in 99 at 18 years old. Wish i would of bought it now but **** happens and you have too move on. I have a friend that has one of the 98 hurst 6 speed trans am's. It is in mint condition with 8,000 miles on it. I would love too get it someday from him but dont think he will ever let it go. Just my input thanks, ramair1999@hotmail.com

Some of you guys must have been on another Earth when these cars were new, based on the comments above. The cars were not popular? That isn't what I recall. They were actually very desirable when brand new, just too expensive. The price tag of them kept most people from buying them, not anything to do with them being unpopular. The white/blue 30th T/A was also very popular when new. The 2002 yellow CETA was the least popular when new, those things used to sit brand new on the dealer lots all around the country. Nobody wanted them, and several were still on the lot a year after they quit building Firebirds. Baby **** yellow kinda hurts the demand on the CETA.
