One guy buys every single special edition car produced? Sounds like a selfish dick. There could be 50 happy firehawk owners, instead there's only him.

I used to really want a DeLorean. Still kind of do. Anyways, I had a little bit of coin and decided to see what I could find. What I found was a guy that had seven of the F'ing things and wasn't willing to sell any of them... what a dick.

I think I would rather have a Bricklin SV-1 at this point, to be honest.

PS. For anyone who may not know what the SV-1 is, it's a fiberglass body with colored acrylic skin, based on the AMC Hornet chassis, powered by a 351 Windsor motor. They look like the Delorean, gullwing doors and all, but the Bricklin is front engine/RWD.

That's a simple one. In order for it to happen SLP needed to make 50 cars and there wasn't enough demand. So he stepped up and ordered all 50 so they could be made and has slowly sold them off over the last 4 or 5 years.

lol - not a problem David. He truly is a car guy and he is also the behind the scene guy at Trans AM Depot and it was his goal to continue the TA cars and he's done a great job helping them out.

This is his LS7 Twin Turbo Car that he brought to Sema in 2010

I might be the boner now - I can't stand those body kitted C5/C6s making them look like a 63 Stingray - or the Camaro to Pontiac conversion...

I'm all about modifying/cutting things up - hell look at ALL of my cars - I just do not like the conversions that I mentioned. They look like a cheap plastic bodykit that Pontiac would have developed in the 90s...
