    bear in mind I'm a Camaro owner, but...

    it looks like a Trans Am with an aftermarket hood, perhaps even a 'hawk hood.

    I don't see anywhere on the description of the vehicle where it's listed as a Firehawk.

    To know for sure, you would have to check the RPO sticker for the code for a Firehawk. For a Camaro SS it's WU8, maybe someone here can tell you the code for a Firehawk. (WU6 I think)

        Yeah, that is just a Formula with a Raptor head. It's aftermarket.

              Its a Trans Am with the raptor hood which is an impression of a Firehawk hood but is not exactly the same (where the hood meets the front bumper cover inbetween the nostrils is different) also the rims arent the same. NOT A HAWK!!!!

                  That's not a Firehawk. First, notice the standard 16" "twist" wheels. Second, that is not a genuine Firehawk hood. This car is a regular TransAm with an aftermarket hood, most likely Suncoast Cremations (creations) who has a spotty record on quality control. This is evident by the poor fit of the hood in the photos. Note the driver's side edge where it meets the fender...... the hood doesn't fit flush and appears to be the wrong contour. A genuine Firehawk hood has heat extractors up toward the cowl and contains a firehawk emblem at the front peak of the hood where it meets the bumper cover, it would also fit much better. A 2000 with those miles for that price is not a bargain. If you could get the car for under 10K delivered, then maybe.

                    Only one way to be sure......look for the WU6 Firehawk option RPO code. But, at first glance, that does not look like a Hawk.
