Something i'll only dream about. I'm pretty sure that is indeed the Firehawk race car, though. He pretty much says it all in his description.

That's why I asked what the hell it is, lol. I thought all firehawks came with the T-Ram.

Since it was SCCA raced it has a history book, and would be all but impossible to fake up. And remember, he says this car was built as a race car, not a street car, and so may be different. I think he is on the up and up, but even if you don't trust his word I'm sure it would be really easy to check with SLP to verify his information.

BTW, if any of you are REALLY SERIOUSLY interested in bidding on this car, I can call a friend of mine who lives down in Roseburg and ask him if he knows this seller and the car. I would guess my friend does as he is really into that scene (he owns several '67 Z/28s, had a '92 1LE which he raced, and is the original owner of one of the 6 Hurst/Firebirds built, among other cars).

Hey, it's probably like all those DZ302 69 Z28's I used to hear about with the orignial cross ram dual 4 barrel set up setting in the trunk for safe keeping
The T-Ram is probably in the original box in the trunk.
Me thinks this winds up in the hands of a collector somewhere.

I don't like the car at all. But I'd be interested in the T-Ram that's MIA.

Not the best thing for cruising on saturday night but would be fun racing for sure. they just started that autocross stuff up here in the north pole. so far twin turb stealth has won every time. The dude has 8yrs experience though.
