Because he is saying that it's number 833 of 1000
they only made 671 in 1995 I think, as per Firehawk.ORG
plus the stock hood, rims and he says it has SLP exhaust on it...It has stock dual tips on it..

No hood to start with... Firehawks all came with the Ram-Air hood; it was part of the package and how they got the HP up.
Looks like someone "borrowed" the Firehawk ashtray lid and added the decals.
Plus, running the VIN it doesn't have the Firehawk RPO Code

everything about that ad is wrong
his firehawk info paragraph is the icing though. Maybe an epileptic aids patient interpreted it from chinese for him

You could buy those plates off of eBay for less than $50 for a while. They sold all of the leftovers off

I emailed the seller to ask a question and asked for proof of the WU6 RPO code. lol. Haven't heard anything.

Another reason I feel SLP should have continued to maintain & supply Firehawk replacement parts to those Lucky enough to have one. Once people had to start getting replacement items elsewhere whoever made the replacements made more & sold those to anyone. But alas SLP no longer maintains anything for us, so we have to do what we can. Which means another chance to make more stuff for a clone. Atleast you can still call SLP & verify the car & build date & #.

Damn.. if youre going to put the logos on there, at least have the rest of the equipment on the car. That thing is hideous!

Sad part is, he probably doesn't even know he's wrong. Someone probably talked a good game to him and sold him a LT1 for 15k and now he thinks he has all this money locked up in what he thinks is a Firehawk. That's why he's not responding to the door code questions because he doesn't even know what it means....

He got taken!! I got a reply off Ebay!
"Dear wyll904,
Per the pictures I'm doubting this is a true firehawk (Lack of Ram-Air Hood for starters). Please provide pictures of the RPO codes on the drivers door or glovebox with RPO code WU6; if it does not have this PRO code; then it is not a real Firehawk.

"Dear 97formulaws-6,
I have gotten several questions regarding my car. The main question, is this a real Firehawk? I bought the car under the impression that it is a Firehawk, it has all the badges of a Firehawk even on the engine block. I have been told by 2 different Chevy stores that it is a Firehawk. I dont know what makes it a Firehawk. All I know is that I have a real nice, fast car. Whether its a Firehawk or not its bad-ass. If you have any concerns regarding the car or your bid please feel free to contact me.

On the engine block? Is he talking about the aftermarket plate that goes on the head?
I saw this happen to a guy on an 89 Saleen. The guy bought a dropped mustang gt vert with a Saleen wing and lx Tailights. He would have argued to the death it was a real Saleen.
