This example is an extraordinary preservation piece, showing just 27 miles in rare black-on-black specification. It sits on Bring a Trailer, with the current bid at $30,000 and two days to go.2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowValues for the SLP Firehawk have risen as collectors have recognized these final-year cars, with the best examples commanding real premiums. According to the Hagerty valuation guide, a 2002 Firehawk in concours condition carries a value close to $37,500, and valuation specialists have noted asking prices for the lowest-mileage cars reaching past $40,000.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value for a 27-mile, fully documented time capsule like this sits close to $40,000 to $60,000, most likely close to $46,000 to $54,000, with the museum-grade preservation and rarity pushing it above the standard concours figure. At $30,000 with two days remaining and active bidding, the price should climb into that range.2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmBring a TrailerCondition and detailsThis car is as preserved as a 24-year-old vehicle can be. Finished in black over Ebony leather, it carries the full SLP Firehawk package, a cold-air induction hood with heat extractors, a stainless steel exhaust, and revised suspension, along with the desirable documentation trail of a window sticker, Firehawk Alteration Package build sheet, and Certificate of Birth.2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmBring a TrailerThe seller reports it was kept in a private collection with annual in-house service, was never plated, was never buffed, and has had its T-tops in place since new. It is 1 of 1,505 SLP Firehawks built for 2002, and by one bidder's decode, 1 of just over 100 in this exact configuration. One point deserves attention. The odometer displays 27 miles, but a December 2010 Carfax entry and the Montana title both list 32 miles as the actual reading, and other records cite different low figures.2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmBring a TrailerThe differences are tiny and consistent with an uncirculated collection car that has been moved and trailered rather than driven, but the numbers do not perfectly agree, so treat the mileage as shown. Given how little the car has run, confirming the condition of the fluids, seals, fuel system, and tires is worthwhile, since preservation pieces can suffer from sitting.2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakePontiacModelFirebird Trans Am SLP FirehawkYear2002Mileage27 miles shownEngine5.7-liter LS1 V8Power345 hp and 345 lb.ft of torqueTransmission4-speed automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorBlackInterior colorEbonyCurrent bid$30,000, with two days leftInterested in this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SLP Firehawk? View the listing here.What makes the Firehawk uniqueThe Firehawk was the crown jewel of the fourth-generation Firebird lineup, a specialty model built by SLP Engineering but sold with Pontiac's blessing and full factory warranty. Starting with the already-potent Trans Am and its 5.7-liter LS1 V8, SLP added intake and exhaust upgrades to lift output to 345 horsepower, the same rating as the LS1 in the C5 Corvette, along with a distinctive twin-scoop induction hood, unique wheels, and firmer suspension. The result honed every one of the Firebird's strengths into a complete, dealer-delivered performance package that is genuinely hard to find today.2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmBring a TrailerThat rarity matters more than ever now that 2002 marked the end of the Firebird after more than three decades. As the final and most capable version of a beloved American icon, the SLP Firehawk has become a natural collector target, and an essentially untouched, fully documented example like this represents the model in its purest possible form. Cars this original and this low in mileage rarely surface.My takeThis is a car to preserve rather than drive, and on those terms it is exceptional. A 27-mile SLP Firehawk in a rare black-on-black configuration, with complete documentation and museum-grade preservation, is close to the finest example of the breed a collector could hope to find, and it represents a significant piece of the final chapter of the Firebird story.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value sits close to $40,000 to $60,000, most likely close to $46,000 to $54,000, with the extraordinary preservation justifying a premium over the standard concours figure. Before bidding, review the documentation and the minor mileage discrepancy, and confirm the mechanical condition of a car that has barely turned a wheel. Buy it to keep it as-is, and this Firehawk is a blue-chip piece of Pontiac's send-off, one that only becomes harder to replace with time.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
