keep in mind that they are trying to sell it for the fact that it has the LT4 in it...i wouldn't pay 27K for a car with the LT4 with over 100k on the clock but that's just me

Im pretty sure they didnt make to many of those.

If your interested ins omethign collector though, I know of a Lingenfelter-Hurst Formula WS6 thats one of 9 with onle 41 miles on it( not 41K just 41), that may be going on the market here pretty quick.

for $27k?? I'd rather buy an 03-04 cobra. rare cars are cool but I've owned one in the past but there not my cup of tea really. I like to drive my cars and I always felt bad about racking up the miles and beating on it having fun. plus I like to mod and I couldn't bring myself to modding the thing. on the up side tho I did make a few thousand on it when I sold it. that hawk already has a bunch of miles on it too.. not worth it imo

Still wouldnt be work 27K maybe maybe i mean maybe 15K at the most and thats with under 10K miles. its a fucken LT1 for christ sakes, i love mine, but not even with 0 miles would i pay over 15K for an LT1/4 i dont care if it was the only one in its specific color and configuration made thats crazy, you could make an identical car for half that cost! **** maybe even a quarter the cost!

Wayyyy too many miles to be a valuable collectable. Even if it's very limited it is deff. not worth 27K.

actually, yes it did. i don't know about the LT4 Firehawks, but the 100 1997 Camaro SS's with the LT4 stickered for $39,995 so i would guess the 'hawks were about the same or even more
