Default 2001 Formula Firehawk #410 Adding to the Flock

Prior to finding this car I ordered 2 books from Mac Logan. He didn't have the # books for the # Hawks I had . So I picked two books that had the same numbers in them, 401 and 410. Then one day I see on FB someone asking if this car was a real Firehawk. I noticed from the background in the pic that I knew where it was. It was at a Salvage Yard near me! I couldn't believe it. I drove straight over and made the deal to buy the car. It was late Saturday evening so the banks weren't open.
The Car is 2001 Formula Firehawk #410. Hardtop,M6,1LE.Auburn Diff,with Ebony cloth, Monsoon, Pwr windows, and Manual Seats. One owner prior to me who put 300k miles on it.The build date is 4/01 (410 and 401 again) plus my birthday is in April. Guess it was meant to be! She is in need of a lot of love to get back to where she needs to be. My son Cody and I are going to get her back in shape. We have already replaced all 4 tires and headlights with new. I have a V6 hard top for parts. I repaired the door panels from the V6 and put them in. Replacing the radio with a new to it Factory head unit. New power antennae. Can't wait to get her done.

It completely baffles me why some people feel the need to scrap a Firehawk. Does the engine still run? Any major body damage?

TX sun sure is hard on cars! 300K miles, somebody sure drove that car. I would love to see more photos of the car, inside and out. Looking forward to watching your restoration.

Wow on many levels:

1. How rare that car is
2. See 1 and then think of how many miles the car has and how it was treated, someone didn't know what they had!
3. One of the few forth gens that would be worth the $ to restore given how cheap you probably got into it

Hopefully its salvageable from a rust/frame perspective.
