Blackbird on eBay
There is a Blackbird on eBay, and the guy at first didn't know what he had! He has it listed as a 2002 WS6 Trans Am 35th annivesary model. It is red and black, and IS a real Blackbird with under 2000 miles for only $32000

I cannot believe nobody has bought it yet...$32K for a ultra rare low milage Supercar. That thing could be worth a ton of money in the future! Even if not for the money, you can have a insane performing car that is just soooooooooo cool!!! I would buy it right now, if I didn't owe money one my WS6....really, I would.

YES IT IS A SUPERCAR, do you know anything about cars? Yenko, Nickey, Dana, Firehawk, Blackbird, etc etc. They are cars that were specially built for added performance. And why do you have to comment about everyones posts. Keep your smart ass comments to yourself!Scott Chab wrote:Does 380hp qualify as a Supercar?
I think it's pretty pricey, especially when you can get a C5 Z06 for around the same money.

IMHO the Blackbird isn't in the same league as the COPOs, Yenkos, etc. Those cars were head and shoulders above the rest when it came to performance and exotic motors (i.e. all aluminum 427s) whereas the Blackbird, Firehawk, SS, etc. are pretty much bolt-on cars. There have been 345hp SLP cars that have dynoed at 325rwhp+ which is right around where this Blackbird is rated so the power is nothing special if you think about it.
If you look at something like a Berger ZL1 car, then you are talking about something special. A 600hp 427 in a 4th gen f-body from a dealer is truly an ultra rare hi-po machine.
Don't get me wrong, I love Hawks, SSs, Blackbirds, etc. but I don't think they are in the same class as some of the greatest-of-all-time domestic performance cars that you are comparing them to.
Just my $.02US/$.03CN

In todays world of Amercan made muscle cars, Yes, IMO it ranks up there with all the other Dick Harrell cars, the ZL1's, & all the other GMMG specialty cars.
Again, IMO, I think it wcld bring better money in the years to come.
I think it's worth it now as it sits with low miles.
It's a specialty car, no doubt about it. Maybe it's not in the same exclusive club as the Yenko's COPO's, etc., ..., But it definitely is today's, (Well, a couple years ago anyway, ...), modern era muscle car.
And a C5 Z06 is going to loose a lot more money in the years to come. I don't think the same goes with this car.
Seriously, do you think if you had an '01-02 Z06, put up against this car, ..., say 20 years from now, what do you really think would be more valuable?
I think the Blackbird should draw more attention, but I guess I'll have to wait & see as I'm no fortune teller, ...

Opinions and speculation mean that there is no sense in debating the issue. Let's just agree to disagree. I will, however, say thanks for not questioning my knowledge of cars or calling me a smartass.PontiacFan wrote:In todays world of Amercan made muscle cars, Yes, IMO it ranks up there with all the other Dick Harrell cars, the ZL1's, & all the other GMMG specialty cars.

BTW - if anyone is buying a car as an investment, I know a good financial planner that they might want to talk to.

Some of you guys kill me. You guys put the Firehawk on some kind of pedistal. A firehawk is nothing more than a v-8 TA with graphics, a different suspension, a different muffler, and maybe a rear end. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO let's not forget those "SPECIAL" mats and key fobs.
I have THE CREME OF THE CROP "SUPERCAR" FIREHAWKS being a LIMITED EDITION 10th Anniversary Firehawk. ANd I don't think of it as some kind of Supercar.
Firehawks are special...........but not to the degree of "SUPERCAR".
The ONLY car that can match a Yenko, Balwin Motion......etc would be the 427 Berger SS.
What is a Blackbird 380? A ws6 with a different muffler and air box. Ohhh I forgot the specially painted rear bumper............WOOOOO HOOOOO that's a SUPERCAR right there. And what SUPERCAR would be without it's SPECIAL floormats........ohhhh I think I'm gonna lose it. Did I forget to mention those SPECIAL SUPERCAR STICKERS???
Do not insult a Yenko with some crappy Firehawk or Blackbird that was a TA and changed the muffler and added decals and thus forth got its name.
Chabby is right on this one.
When we went to the Firehawk Rally last year.......how many of these Firehawks here on this board got their azz handed to them in a SUPERCAR ML55 AMG SUV?
this Supercar post makes me giggle. Want a SUPERCAR try Lambo, Ferrari, Maserati, S7, Buggatti.....etc

Got to agree ... while I love F-Bodies, and was hoping to get a Firebird someday (ended up with a Camaro 'vert in '01), and really was happy to get a Firebird and even a special one with it being a Firehawk (one of very few in Germany), I would never call it a Supercar. Supercars have the air of something more or less inaccessable, unreachable. Oh yes, and definitely more HP than a GM SB engine ... But what the heck, to each his own ...

These types of cars have been called "Supercars" by all the magazines, thats the name THEY gave them, not the owners of the cars. They have been calling them Supercars for a long time.

Nice save buzzard, ..., Thanks for taking out the other comment that I had seen for a moment there!Firebuzzard wrote:ANYWAY...its a heck of a cool car, and I wish I could afford to buy it.
We don't need the arguements here.
Save'em for the other boards.
The Blackbird on eBay is a nice car that would be enjoyed by most people. I'd like to have one also. But can't afford it, & surely can't afford some fancy German-made SUV that can show me where my ass is, ..., I can find it myself, ...
Dragan, don't you have grass to mow?!?
