I'm no expert, but I believe they were made in 1986-87. They came with 420hp trs drives and very $$$$$ Hawk 511 & #3SSM drives. MSO is in a box right behind me. I haven't looked at it in 10 years. I don't remember if it said Firefox on it................God, I'm lazy! LOL!

I have one of the older 24's. 1972 with teak deck and twin 6 cyl's. Currently in restoration.

Looking at Cigarette's manufacturers statement of origin ......nowhere does it state "Firefox". It does spec the length at 24' 3 1/3" and the beam at 7' 4 1/2"

The HIN on my 24 is CRT24050E787. Other than that special 24 produced for racing purposes, I have often wondered if it was the last 24 Cigarette produced?

It seems there are several 20's around but only a handful of 24's. Not sure if I can count over 6 or 7 for the entire run.

------And,,,Whirlwinds Cig is a beauty as I have seen it both in the Port Huron area as well as going by my house in East China. I have never been close enough to say HI, but maybe that will change this summer........Bill S
