Vehicle Description
A triple-black 2000 Pontiac Firebird convertible is always
appealing, but when it's an ultra-low production numbers version of
the special SLP Firehawk package, then it's absolutely
irresistible. After all, who knew you could get 330 horsepower and
a six-speed at such a value price?
There weren't many more aggressive-looking cars in the early 2000s
than the Pontiac Firebird, but the specialists at SLP Engineering
really turned it up a notch with the Firehawk. The aggressive hood
with heat extractors, new spoiler, performance exhaust tips,
Firehawk graphics (w/subtle matching brake calipers), and the
chrome 17-inch alloys really give this car presence. And just in
case you were wondering about that number on the front bumper, it's
because this is car #408 of the limited production run in 2000. In
fact, it's quite a bit more rare considering it is only one of 78
convertibles (1 of 8 in triple black!) Even if this wasn't a
low-production gem, you'd still desire it simply because the sleek
styling has the perfect high gloss black finish that make this
sinister bird look like it's ready to go hunting at midnight.
The dark attitude continues inside with the full Ebony interior
(black paint, black folding top, and black leather interior is the
trio for the ultra-desirable triple black.) Averaging less than
3,000 miles a year means little time to wear out the bucket seats,
so they still look fantastic today. These SLP cars only came one
way - loaded. It includes features such as power seats, power
locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo (the original unit also comes with the sale.) Plus, the
power windows and power folding roof means you never have to leave
the driver's seat to go from buttoned up comfort to an open air
experience. And since the air conditioning is blowing ice-cold, you
can do this whenever you want and remain staying cool. Beyond just
luxury features, a modern classic also means modern safety, too. So
you get items like dual airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction
control (yes, you can turn that last one off when it's time to have
fun.)
Under the hood is the LS1 fuel-injected V8 that this special
edition has always had from day one. In fact, the entire engine bay
looks like a fresh time capsule. You might have spotted the
additions that SLP has done under the hood. Getting colder air into
the engine bay and improving the exhaust meant an increase in power
to 330 hp total. The lightweight aluminum powerhouse eclipses just
about every other muscle car powerplant from this era, and it'll
return surprisingly good fuel economy when driven with a
conservative right foot. It only gets better when mated to a
six-speed manual transmission for the ultimate control to instantly
turn mild into wild. And the optional Auburn high torque
differential really makes sure that you get the most out of this
enhanced Pontiac. Add in four-wheel disc brakes and ZR rated tires,
and we won't blame you for wanting to go out and have fun in this
highly collectable droptop.
The complete package includes plenty of paperwork (SLP window
sticker, dealer invoice, owner's manuals, etc.) as well as goodies
like a car cover. So you know this collectable has been treated
with proper respect from day one. That's why you know it will never
last long at such an affordable price. This one is even autographed
by legendary NASCAR driver, Rusty Wallace. Call now!!
