This '97 Firehawk is number 78 out of 116 total Firehawks made in '97. There were several changes SLP made for the '96 and '97 model years that make them unique. Although all '97 and previous Firehawks were made from Formulas (not Trans Ams), only the '96 and '97 model years received the Trans Am up level spoiler giving the cars a very sleek but mean looking image. The 99-2002 Firehawks could be ordered in either Formula or Trans Am, however the Formulas would retain their small (V6 style) spoiler. The '96 and '97 model years also received a set of fog lamps unavailable to normal Formulas. '96 was the first model year of the new style wheels that would come on all subsequent model years (96-2002). The '96 and '97 model year production total is only 147 coupe and convertible models making this unique looking car very rare indeed.
