Thumbs up SOM Formula Firehawk photos

Yesterday was a long day!

I got up at 5:30am and went to the airport, flew out at 7:30am. Landed in St. Louis at 9:30am, rode the Metrolink for 45 minutes to meet the seller at Casino Queen near the arch. Nice guys, I could tell they were going to miss the car. I hit the road around 11am and drove through Missouri, then drove through Oklahoma and back to Houston. Total of 13 hours of driving, made it home around 1:30am.

At a rest stop, I snapped a few photos of the new purchase,

2002 Formula Firehawk
6-spd, cloth interior, 9400 miles (10,350 now)
100% stock.
1 of 16 sunset orange Formula Firehawks built w/ 6-spd
20 total were built in '02, and only 2 total were built in '01.

I've been looking over a year and half for one of these







Here it is where I picked it up. Notice an arch in the background? Gloomy weather in St. Louis!

Looks Great!! and Rare! ....but those mud flaps must go, actually, as far as I'm concerned, you have already taken them off.

Speaking as a Formula fan, hands down, the ultimate f-body. The only drawback for me would be the cloth interior - but some guys do prefer it. A nice addition to an already impressive sig.

They are there if you look closely. Nine Ball, you sure love your cars. Great looking car, you'll probably have a lot fun with it.

gorgeous. they don't get much better than that. and get rid of the damn mudflaps, at elast on the front(might help keep rubber off the rear fenders)

whats the plan for this one? its so clean and gorgeous, it almost seems a shame to heavily mod it and make it a track car.

don't worry, the mudflaps will be removed ASAP. They were dealer installed though, made for f-bodies. Funny right? I appreciate the first two owners keeping them on though, the paint is flawless
