Well - I for one LOVE the Kevin Morgan Trans AM and Firehawk reproductions as a 5th generation version.

I only wish I had the cashflow to afford the car, but non the less, I have the promo pictures as my desktop as I work and save my cash for my next sports car.

 

Looks like ***. Not a firebird. Not a firehawk.

 

The best part of the car is the Mike Lavallee airbrushed 'bird on the hood!

 

The 2nd gen. 70's-80's hoodscoop styling gives it a Smokey & the Bandit look NOT a Firehawk. Besides I don't think SLP- Firehawk was in business until the 3rd gen f-body debut.

I prefer the Lingenfelter T/A more but I'd probably rock this one too with some subtle changes. The first change would be to remove all the Firehawk badging cause its styling should themed as a tribute to the Bandit cars.

 

I second that on the Mike Lavallee airbrushed 'bird on the hood Love it! but to call it a Firehawk, were are the heat extractors, the scoop on the hood 70's the wheels (late 70's snowflakes), the front end also last 70's the hawk started life as a 3rd Gen and advanced to 4th Gen this is a retro '67 Camaro... Now I like Lingenfelter tribute of the '70-73 but less the hood bird put Mike Lavallee airbrushed 'bird on the hood that would be

 

I like the t-tops. Maybe GM will introduce them soon for the Camaro.

 

I dunno. Maybe it's just me but I would have prefered to see a "tribute" Firehawk in red. .. The advertisements I remember featured them in that color. So for some weird reason, I like Hawks in red more.

P.S. The bird on the hood just screams "Bandit"! Which coincidentally says SD T/A to me. NOT Firehawk!

 

No disrespect here but the hood bird did show first on the 1973 to continue on later TA models, some sporting the SD-Super Duty 455 engine option (1973-1974, 1296 total cars, 1195 TA's and 101 Formula models) additionally the T/A SD-455's were optionally surrounded by the infamous hood bird if only opted, although the 1977 Bandit TA did have a hood bird, I believe introduced in 1977 (not to be confused with the 1976 LE 50th Anniversary TA) but never offered a SD-455 opted engine.
I guess what I'm saying is the "words" "SD-455" and "Bandit" just don't belong together.

Formula 1973 SD-455

TA 1973 SD-455

TA 1976 TA LE

TA 1977 Bandit

 

I was generalizing when I said "Bandit" ... I wasn't trying to nail down a specific year. When I see a huge freak'n fire chicken my mind thinks "Bandit" period. ... I was basically just saying that the image in my mind of a Firehawk doesn't involve a fire chicken on the hood. Just my .02

 

SE & Bandit, yes.
But not SD & Bandit. Two completely different birds.

 

shoulda had a beak look on the front like the 77-78. i would work 80 hours wipin asses everyweek after school to own that if it were more like the 77 bandit. scratch firehawk badges tho

 

IMO not working for me just doesnt feel like a hawk still screams camaro
