I would leave wheels, stereo, interior etc out of it.
Ill take a shot at this. This is a list of the one-offs:

1998
White 1LE WS6 Formula (1)
SGM 1LE WS6 Formula (1)
Red M6 WS6 Formula Vert (1)
Red A4 WS6 Formula Vert (1)
BPM M6 WS6 TA Vert (1)
BPM A4 WS6 TA Vert (1)

1999
Red 1LE WS6 Formula (1)
Med Gulf Blue (20U) Firehawk A4 Vert (1)

2000
WS6 TA M6 Vert w/ White Leather (1)

2001
NBM Firehawk Formula A4 (1)
Firehawk Formula M6 w/ Taupe Cloth (1)
Firehawk Formula A4 w/ Lt. Camel Leather (1)
White M6 Firehawk Vert (1)
White A4 Firehawk Vert (1)
SOM M6 Firehawk Vert (1)
SOM A4 Firehawk Vert (1)
A4 Firehawk Vert w/ White top (1)

I'll add LT1 years later.......stay tuned.

Any info about the 2000 ws6 with white leather? Sounds interesting, almost like a copo car since white leather wasn't offered. The rest really are just cars that are rare because no one else ordered them that way.

Other than it also had the AQ9 "Luxury Reclining" seats, not really. Indeed, it was the only Firebird in 2000 that showed up in CompNine's database w/ white leather. I don't know how their database was built, it may be the same as GM's VIS, it would be hard to believe it was created manually, so I doubt someone fat-fingered "102" for the interior RPO instead of say "192". May very well have been a Copo car, like those two '98 Formula 'verts.

Thought you would have some good info! I just thought it would be interesting to have an idea of the rare cars in case any of us ran across them for sale.

I didn't account for 1LE cars- that will most certainly top the list

Good info. I just pulled that off camaro Z28 real quick. I have the camaro white book at home but I think the info is the same not sure. How do you look up info on CompNine, it looks like a fun and useful site.

Hurst hauler is a cool car- I still have a poster of it with Linda Vaughn who still looked awesome

Interested in a similar breakdown on LT 1 cars...

How about the 33 1989 Turbo Trans Am HARDTOPS? If memory serves correctly there were 33.

And this was a solid 11 second car (bolt-on's only) without removing a valvecover. I have the slips to prove it! (Mine was a glass T-Top/ cloth car---- one of about 1000 Festival Cars).

I've also owned GNX #441
One of 180 1996 Grand Sport Corvette CONVERTIBLES
A Silver 1998 1LE Z-28 (I believe it was one of 99 1LE's that year)
a 1971 GS455 'vert with factory buckets (They didn't make any... officially... but this car had the special order code and the buildsheet with them.

Now I'm driving a crap-*** evo---- a four door shitbox.... lol

Man... I've had some one off's over the years when I start thinking about it... Great thread...keep it up!

No such RPO as 9C1 used on a 4th gen f-bod. You are probably thinking of the B4C Special Service / Police package, essentially a de-badged Z28 w/ heavy duty cooling and alternator & provisions for flashy lights. 135 of those built in '93 (Camaros).

Got a few more in front of that. 3rd gen Notchback GTAs, 91-92 Firehawks, 1C5 RPO Irocs, LT1 Banshee cars, any LT4 car, 96-97 Hurst firebird cars, etc.

I still love this thread.

What about this one:
1993 Camaro Indy Pace Car without T-tops:


I currently own it and it's for sale:

Has anyone ever seen a 1A3 1984 Olympic Edition Camaro? I don't think I've ever seen one in person.

Not sure if anyone mentioned the 69 T/A convertible that was owned years ago by one of the Pontiac Ad agency's big wigs not sure if it was McManus or Adams that owned it. I was working there when they were doing the famous Woodward GTO ads. I saw the 68 blue Z28 convertible parked in Al Maynard's garage next to my butternut yellow 67 Z28 he had restored. Now that he's dead who knows where it ended up.

I know the owner of this car:

https://www.daytonainternationalspee...ransAmjpg.aspx

the guy also has a 69 T/A and a 73 SD455 (both needing restoration)

What if your car is an amalgam of rare one-offs? At least 5 of them that gave up their lives so that mine could live.

Any idea if those are the original wheels on that 96 pace car? I thought 96 WS6 all had the satin wheels, with 97 having the polished wheels.

I have seen an LT4 Firehawk at the local car show for sale the past few years. It's funny walking past it thinking... that is probably the rarest car here that nobody has a clue about. It doesn't look rare or stand out from the crowd. Heck, I have never even seen under the hood and that's what makes it so special.

I am guessing everyone thinks my 1LE Formula is a V6 Firebird with a swapped on hood and bad muffler shop single exhaust.
