The last Firehawk and the '98 pilot car I still have them and would still sell them if I get the right offer.
PM me with any interest/questions

The car has just a few more miles now.

You have any real world pics of the 98 pilot car? Like detailed photos of the headlights and differences in the hood fitment and such. More detailed photos might help. The photos you have for it I have had saved on my computer for years.

The fixed headlights were about half the height of the pop-ups, so the prototype hood extended forward to meet them. That's the main difference. Only three handmade prototype hoods were made for use on six prototype cars: 3 Formulas and 3 T/As.
My car is the one in the pics everyone has saved on their computers.

The prototype hood was taller than the production hood and the '98 prototype hood had about 3" more material in the headlamp area to accomodate the encapsulated headlamps.

Funny story about your red Hawk. After seeing the new LS1s and specifically that Firehawk, I had put a deposit down for a navy blue Formula Firehawk in early 98. Then the GM strike happened, and the dealership called to say that they probably wouldn't be able to build it. I got my deposit back, but still wanted a Formula. There were only three 6-speed Formulas in the state of Texas at the time, I had to drive 5 hrs away to pick up my first LS1.
I really wanted a Formula Firehawk with those headlights!
