FS: 1-owner 99 Firehawk 6-spd - Stored in house - Indiana *PRICE DROP! I'm selling my 1-owner Firehawk w/ only 21K miles & will probably kick myself later for doing it. Yes, I do keep it in my house. I remodeled my sunroom so I could park the Firehawk in it. Yes, my wife loves me. Asking $18.5K OBO.
HERE’s the SPEC’s:
1999 Firehawk Formula #338
Bright Red Outside / Charcoal Cloth Inside
5.7L LS1
6-spd Manual Trans
T-tops
21K miles
1-Owner / Non-smoker
New AC Delco Battery (May 2011)
3.42 Axle Ratio w/ Posi-Traction
Power Steering Cooler
Additional SLP Firehawk Options:
17 x 9 Chrome Wheels
Front Floor Mats Embroidered w/ “Firehawk”
Ad-On Mods:
SLP Smooth Bellows for the MAF
SLP High-Flow Air Lid
K&N Air Filter
Car Cover –Wolf (not SLP)
Rear O2's turned off in ECM (ready for headers)

The car was transformed at SLP in 4/99 & I bought it in 5/99 from a dealership that ordered it just to see what it was, so it is a 1-owner. Maybe I’m biased, but I prefer the more subdued looks of the Formula. It is registered at the following: http://www.firehawkowners.com/car/3132.html
SLP only made 719 Firehawks for the 1999 model year - the first production year for the Firehawk of the last 4th-Gen F-body design. This one is numbered #338. 72 were Formula T-top cars, 39 of those were 6-speed manuals, 7 of those were #81 Bright Red. So if I wanted to flaunt the numbers like most Hawk owners, this car is 1 of 7, but I won’t do that.
The extra Firehawk options include the chrome wheels (kept polished) & embroidered floor mats (kept covered w/ clear plastic mats).
The car is basically STOCK, with only minor mods like the SLP smooth bellows for the MAF, K&N air filter & the high-flow air lid like came on 2002 models that boasted 345 hp. I put an extra Firehawk decal on the air lid.
I can count the number of times on my hands that I have been caught in the rain. It mostly has been socked away in the house for 3-4 months each year during the winter. As a result, it sits right now with only 21,XXX mi & is pristine. I have maintained it with Mobile 1 synthetic oil. It’s waxed w/ Meguire’s & chrome wheels polished at least once a year. It still has the original Firestone Firehawk SZ50 275/40ZR17 tires, though they are getting noisy from age, have 3/16 (4-5mm) of tread & the LF has a patch from a nail hole. For the right sale price, I can work out a deal with the buyer for a set of new Firestone Wide-Oval tires (original SZ50’s were discontinued). I also installed a new AC Delco battery.
This purist collector car is very clean & still smells new. Asking Price $18.5K OBO (new smell included). PM w/ questions or picture req's from serious inquiries only. FYI, this is an old post, but no one has even came to look at the car! I also am NOT interested in trading anything.

Yep, I had it on earlier, but the post expired or something. Winter is a bad time of year to sell, but spring is right around the corner. Maybe some of those guys that said they would be interested later will check it out now. Otherwise, I guess I'll just keep driving it!

Thanks guys. If someone would ever come to look at it, I think they would buy it! 
I have the title & it's clean! Since I'm the first & only owner, there is nothing on it!

Leonardj,
Are you interested in any trades? I live in Shelbyville. I have a show winning '66 Tempest and have been toying with selling to move to a newer T/A or GTO.
