Not vary many people have ever heard of this firebird it's #14 of 21 built in 95. got really lucky to get this. has any of you heard of it. heres just about everything i know about it.
In 1988, the Pontiac Banshee was born. Pontiac created it as a prototype for its 4th generation Firebirds. The Prototype Cost Pontiac $2 Million to build in 1988. Part of the Banshee's influence can be seen on the front noses of the 91-92 Firebirds and 4th generation Formulas and base model Birds. The Banshee name first appeared in the '60s as a code name for the forthcoming '67 Pontiac Firebird. The Banshee was modeled for use in the movie Knight Rider 2000 and that it was used in the movie "Demolition Man."
From 1994-1996 Sunset Pontiac Clearwater flordia Took stock Formula firebirds and turned them into Banshee look-a-likes. This transformation included looks and performance modifications. When they first started doing this they did few modifications. By 95 the stansard Package included: Dominator Hood Paint, Side Air Extractors, Windshear GT Rear Spoiler, BFG 275/40ZR17 Tires, 17” O.Z. Wheels, Flowmaster 2 Chambered Exhaust, Chrome Exhaust Tips, High Performance Air Intake System, K&N Air Filter, Banshee Identification Package, Banshee Embroidered Interior, LT1 Identification, Titanium Window Tint, Build Number ID Console Plate.
Reported production:
1994-17 1995-21 1996-1

Very nice car. That car is rare and will be worth a lot. As for the banshee name I thought that was the car built in 1967 that was a 2 door corvette look alike with pontiac features. Im not sure, I just remembered seing something on American Muscle car on speed channel once.
