Looking in to my crystal ball now...
- Firehawk is sold to a 16 year old with well-to-do parents.
- Car rolls off the lot and comes back on a wrecker the exact same day.
(Or maybe it was a test drive??? lol)
- Dealer "fixes" the car with the parts available at the time. ie: no authentic hood.
- Dealer keeps the damaged goods for himself.


This could be a great find! With the found covered up collision/damage, maybe you can negotiate a $40,000 discount on the asking price??? lol

I don't know? Supposedly it was ordered by the owner of the dealership it was sold at.

Here is said car pictured on the dealer floor with the WS-6 hood. Name:  F6F71688-74C4-4384-9BB3-26D6AF075F90.png

I am raging out here. That's bullshit. Dealer said he knows it's a 1 of 4 or 1 of 2 car and instead of keeping it inside they leave it out in the snow.

It's at a little shitty small used car lot without a showroom..

I wish I had the money to buy it and sit on it for 10 years then take it down to Barrett Jackson....

They have it right by the road so it can build up a nice salt crust for protection. People have been doing that as a food flavor enhancer and preservative for centuries. Perhaps it will work for cars, too???

That's a damn shame to see that sitting covered in snow. I guess as long as they don't drive it on the salt, at least anything that gets splashed ON it can be washed off, much easer than de-salinating the underbody & suspension. But you can't ask nearly $50 large for "such a rare" car, and then let it sit out in the snow, it destroys the dealer's credibility.

Somewhere I have a picture of two 'vert 10th Hawks, I believe they belonged to the same person at the time.

I've watched this car for a couple of years.
The seller has had it priced for a ridiculous amount for quite some time.
Evidently he can't find that one in a million buyer, ...


This link was valid up until just recently, but I see it's no longer listed there.
It was $39,998 when it was a valid link.

I don't think things are going to go as planned for that dealer.

It's in 'near perfect' condition.
Cruisin' in the Vegas area every week, ...

I don't think I've ever seen anyone sign up on a forum, using their real name before!
