i paid $19,000 for mine in april with 19,200mi on it.

as far as 'worth', the LS1 era firehawks got a lot less modifications than the LT1 era firehawks. the LS1 firehawks are little more than WS6 cars with hoods, wheels, and stickers... unless you find one with the bilstein or 1LE suspension. remember that the camaro SS is technically a SLP special option, and is on the same level as the firehawk... its just that the hawk was never really a publicly known option. thus, it is my opinion that LS1 firehawks will never really be all that 'special' as say an LT1 firehawk or Comp T/A... but 'worth' is all in the eye of the beholder... i know i could have gotten another TA cheaper, but i HAD to have a firehawk and was willing to pay for it!

Yes my engine has been polished so the car itself is completely worthless.

It's all up to the buyer. A crappy body kit or engine install would de-value anything, but quality mods are hard to judge on. Unless the Firehawk in question is a zero mile cream puff, I don't think modding will alter the value by much.

Actually it was supposed to be a joke, but not in a bad way. Heck I sold Hyundai's for about a year as internet manager of a large dealership in Atlanta. I'm not talking down to you, F#CK I can sing the sweet virtues of a stinking Hyundai all day long.

I was just curious. No sweat.

That's cool. I've got a '94 LT1. Not bad, but as soon as I pay off my garage queen I'm going to get a used GTO or something as a daily bitch.

Most likely '04. Cheaper and I can add a Magnesun blower with no issues. It'll probably be an auto. Atlanta traffic has my clutch foot screaming!
