Vehicle Description
This special-edition 1999 Pontiac Trans Am Firehawk convertible was
one of a handful produced by SLP Engineering and sold new through
Pontiac dealers. These cars had more power and better suspension
than the normal factory model, and today are hard to find. From
1993-97, all Firehawks were based on Firebird Formulas, while from
1999 the Firehawk could be had as a Formula or a Trans Am like this
car. Just like Camaros and Corvettes, Firebirds have long
represented a lot of speed for the dollar. Many have therefore been
driven hard and racked up a lot of miles. Finding a Firehawk with
less than 22,000 miles such as this car is very rare.
According to Firehawk.org, 719 Firehawks were produced for the 1999
model year. Of those, only 75 were convertibles, of which 40 were
equipped with 6-speed transmissions and 18 were painted black. This
is a very rare bird. It is a very well kept and low mileage car and
it shows, with deep black paint and a spotless charcoal gray
interior that features seat heaters and optional Firehawk logo
floor mats. No expense was spared on sound and electronic upgrades
on this Firehawk that include an Alpine touchscreen infotainment
system with navigation, Bluetooth, alarm, Drone Mobile GPS, front
and rear cameras, high-quality speakers and a top-of-the-line
Ransenso RC M Ultimate radar detection system. A receipt from
Cartunes of Atlanta for $13,783 documenting the work is included
with the sale.
