out of curiosity

[Sweet Lou]

what is the most desired F-body?

I was/am a mopar guy at heart and there are a few "dream" mopars. like a 1970 Hemi Cuda Convertible, or the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona.

is there an F-body equivalent? the anniversary editions? a certain year? a certain generation?

just curious.

[1fastcamarosss11]

you will get every answer here some will say 01-02 for a little more perforance, some will say the loaded slp ones. some will say t tops some will say verts. some may say hard tops. but i think mostly here it is color. som orange. can't wait to see some replies here.

[1fastcamarosss11]

maybe 97 ss. orange and white.

1969 Trans Am convertible

[my1973form]

I would say 1 of 69 1969 ZL1 (427CID) Camaro, then COPO and Yenko Camaro's, then 1969 Trans Am, for later models, Firehawks due to limited numbers, there should be a spot for the V6 Turbo TA not sure what year 1989 or so.

[Sweet Lou]

from what I can gather the firehawk is the only real limited production f-body, is that correct?

I mean, the 70 hemi cuda convertible, there were only 14 or 15 total. I forget the exact number this second.

I know the Yenko, COPO and such are desirable models as well. I was just curious is there was a must have model in the genre.

69 was the first year for the Trans Am ;)

[2000pontiac6]

I would love to own both a 2002 formula firehawk and a 1969 Firebird

[2000pontiac6]

[KyleLs1]

for 4th gen birds i think it would be 99 30th TA or 02 Firehawk

[dreaded_hope]

69 Trans Am Vert would fetch alot for sure There were only 8 made. Other than that a 73 455 SD is very saught after as well as mentioned the 89 TTA's. Possibly an original 76 Limted Edition TA, which had a 455 and was the first with Hurst hatches and the gold pinstriping scheme later seen in 77. Only 643 of them were made with T tops.

[99blueZ]

I know someone with a 1997 camaro SS LT4. It is 1 of 100 that came with the LT4. Its gotta be the rarest 4th gen. It freakin awesome! There is also 100 '97 birds with the LT4.

[Frozen WS6]

Everyone always says the Yenko camaro but those were just a COPO order car with stickers, don't get me wrong I would still like to have one in my garage. But, a true build to order and rare collectable would be any of the Baldwin Motion camaros, chevelles, novas, vets, and ZL1 camaros.

Broke down to 250 convert. and 1250 with t-tops.

[1959ls1]

I still wish i had my 67 maro, loved the wind wings and was the only year ever with them.

1973 super duty trans am, white with blue accents...un freakin beatable.

I like the way you think. IMO, the "choice" birds would be:

1st gen: '69 T/A 'vert (only 8 made, 1 going up for auction at ACD this year)
2nd gen: '73 SD-455 (SDs are badass, and '73 styling rules)
3rd gen: '89 Turbo T/A Indy Pace Car (fastest 3rd-gen f-bod, and up 'til that time the fastest T/A made and only one w/ less than 8 cyls)
4th gen: '98 WS6 'Vert 6-sp (rarest year, triple black preferred) ;)

[WS.SICK]

any year of the firehawk in formula trim...

formulas are rare just by themselves.. not to mention a hardtop version.. and to have a hardtop firehawk formula.. that would be dope.. oh yeah a 98 transam with the LIMITED production next gen 3 spoke flat design.. looks like the 3 spoke that came on 93-97 formulas and ta's I would love to get my hands on some of those

ummm yeah stage 2 black bird... 50 per year wer made (stage 1)... to my knowledge only like 7 were ever converted to stage 2 (pretty sure the on in the ad is a stage 2. if i remeber correctly stage 1 = 380 hp, stage2 = 435, stage 3 has a damn 427 in it none ever made)

sooo i would say that is the rare of the rare in recent fbodies...

someone correct me if im wrong on this stuff...

[my1973form]

Actually the highest HP rating in '73-'74 for the TA was the Super Duty 455

[19691998firebirdtransam]

Here is my dream list
1969 T/A Ram Air IV 4-speed white w/blue stripes
1970 T/A Ram Air IV 4-speed white w/blue stripes
1973 or 1974 T/A or Formula SD-455 White w/blue bird
1989 20th anniversary turbo T/A Indy Pace car
1998 WS6 T/A

I will have to settle for what I have at the time, for now 19691998firebirdtransam...

[edbird]

There were only 2 1998 formula convertibles made according to production stats!! Thats rare!

[slpfirehawk00]

In 1997 there were only 27 Lt-4 firehawks to be built and one of them would be nice to have, but i also love the camaros with the L-t4. The motor pretty much makes the power of a Ls-1 and some before you could even dream about what a ls-1 could do.

Lol...I remember me and the wife back in '98 (after seeing the infamous "Stoplight" black WS.6 TV commercial!), looking for a WS.6 PERIOD in our area (black)....you stood a better chance of finding a dino egg...! So we got tired of hunting, and just got a "regular" T/A, and a then-new ASCD ram air hood and a lower air box, and later MTI clear lid. Gawd, that car still ROCKS!!! :rockon: :rockon: Don't know how many actual WS.6's were made in '98...but I don't think there was a lot.

[94transamgt]

As with many, I would go with the 69 Trans Am Convertible. I know there was only 8 made, but i did some research one time and I believe only 3 are known to exist. Believe it or not my 94 Trans Am Convt is pretty rare. Only made like 250 Convertible TA Gt's with the trans. performance option. But I love the 99 30th Annv Inverse. (blue with white stripes) and of course the Collector's Edition.

[Hawk241]

Thanx man, just picked up an 2002 Firehawk, it makes me feel better!

in that ebay ad it say "#1026 never been titled" but it has 17k miles on it.

unless I do not understand what "never been titled" means, how did the car get 17k and not be titled/licensed?


I like the white/blue 73 car you guys showed. sharp car.

[440 rwhp trans am]
