New to the board and looking to be an owner.

Post by The Boss » Sun May 20, 2007 6:11 pm

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself, longtime Pontiac fan, currently have 4 GTO's 68-72, and a 73 Formula 400. Looking to add a Firehawk to the stable and this was the place to come.

I'm looking for a 91/92 model preferably one with a competition package. Missed out on the #2 car on e-Bay a year or so ago, but don't want to miss the next one. Any leads would be appreciated.

I'm a regular poster on the Performance Years site, so if you frequent that one, say hello - that's were the lead to this site came from.

Thank again, and I hope to be an owner soon!

Chris

a 91 or 92 Firehawk? Lots of luck!

You would have an easier time finding: a GTO Judge convertible, a 73 or 74 455 SD, or a '69 Trans Am! With only about 25 3d generation 'Hawks made, they are one of the most rare Pontiacs ever made!

Welcome, Chris...and I have to agree with Max on this one...

Maybe this would be an opportunity to do a good clone...I'm sure someone could get you pics of the roll cage (maybe even plans if you ask nicely) and you could do an LS6/MN6 conversion...

Not that I've thought that out or anything... :wink:

Thanks guys, but a clone is not in the cards - I'm too persistant an SOB. I've been lucky enough to speak with a couple of owners today as well as a past owner of two of the cars - I'm hopeful that I'm headed in the right direction.

I am finding that buying one of these cars is akin to joining a country club - you have to get friendly with a few of the members first then pay a heafty innitiation fee, but then you get to play all you want. :wink:

Boss,

This is true. We even have a secret hand shake and must wear "special " underwear when driving the car. :lol:

Hope you can find one to add to your collection.

There are none available right now that I know of - the last one that was for sale (#26), was just snagged by a forum member that owns #6 I believe.


Believe me, the moment one becomes available it is news on the forum - just keep checking in and running a google search.

Thanks Mark, I sent you an e-mail before I saw this post. I'm currently building a barn for the cars, and if I haven't picked one up by the time I'm done I'll have everybody over for a little meet-n-greet.....have a few beers and throw some filets on the grill :wink:

Maybe then I get get one of you who have multiples to let one go. :lol:

Thanks Dave, I've had an e-bay search set up for them for over a year and would have hit the BIN on #002 if I hadn't just bought another car. I didn't go for #26 simply because of the color and the lack of the comp package, although I've been in contact with the new owner and he says it's brutally fast.

Its nice to finally hear something positive about car #26, I thought long and hard about that one too.........maybe someday.

Gotta ask you Boss, made anyone a serious offer yet, and how far have you gotten? And no, mine will not be for sale anytime soon, I'm looking for one to drive a little more. Check it out on fquick: http://www.fquick.com/JoeFirehawk11

Good luck, hope you find "the one"!

Thanks Joe,

No - I haven't made any offers, just getting a feel for what is out there. I also haven't been offered a car either. Time will tell. :wink:
