Seller's notes

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to digitally present this extremely rare 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula Firehawk convertible. Well, what do we have here!? Pontiac lovers and collectors please pay attention as this is an important Poncho. You do not see the Firehawks come up for sale often and when was the last time you saw a CONVERTIBLE with a stick for sale? Probably never. And before you call and ask, yes, it is real with RPO codes of R6V, WU6, and 10T, still on the drivers door. The standard 97 Formula or Trans Am LT1 5.7 350ci was rated at 275hp, but the Firehawks were turned up to an advertised 310hp. A special hood, Ram air induction, specific wheels, and badging let everyone know this was no ordinary Screaming Chicken. According to Firehawk.org only 16 convertibles were made in 1997. Of the 16 units, only 4 were red, and only 2 had white leather interior and a white top. Are you getting the picture? This bird is both rare and well done and the chances of you finding the only one other convertible in red and white is slim to none. The consignor has owned the car since 97 when it had just a few thousand miles on it. This is a highly collectible Pontiac that will definitely draw attention and continue to increase in value. Without question, this one will fly away soon! Gateway Classic Cars is Where Dreams Are Driven
