the only factory ram air car in 1995 was the Comp T/A made by SLP. The firehawk had ram air as well but it had a different hood. the WS6 suspension didn't come out until 1996 and IIRC there were no 1996 T/A WS6 'verts. the WS6 package wasn't offered on the 'vert till 1997

Nope, the seller is full of BS. Other than a "plain-'ol" TA 'verts, there were 9 Firehawk 'verts built in 1995. No Comp TA 'verts either. Like was said above, the "outwardly badged" WS6 option wasn't available until '96 and even then only in a coupe. Not until '97 could you get a WS6 'vert, and those still had the non-WS6 suspension w/ 16" rims. 1998 was the first year WS6 'verts came w/ the full WS6 suspension package w/ 17" rims in addition to the "Ram-Air" enhancements.

Thanks guys my friend has a bike worth 15k and this guy called him wanting to trade this "rare" car for that bike! I didnt think there were any of those cars made in 95 and since the ws6 didnt come out in the verts until 97 there is no way this is a true production car!!

Thanks again!!

Just check out the glove box RPO code listings - then when he starts making excuses walk away.
