1991 Formula 350 convertible Firehawk tribute

Wasn’t sure where to put this but would like to know the history of this car if anyone knows. 1991 Formula 350, that was made into a convertible later, and a close copy of Firehawk #27.

Dont know anything about it but not a fan of the convertible look.

Just doesn't look right to me.

To each their own.

Re: 1991 Formula 350 convertible Firehawk tribute

Imo, it's not close to 27 at all. Only thing close is wheels and color.
It has slp runners, firehawk didn't use them.
The convertible conversion on this car isn't ASC, like factory used and it's not very well done.

my understanding is the gentleman that did this, passed away and family sold it.
it's kind of stuck between autozone accessory isle and could have been really cool.
Weak swing, big miss

I'm a convertible guy and that's exactly how I feel. The top is absolutely horrible, and I detest the word "tribute" for anything. It's somebody trying to make it something it isnt. The spoiler doesnt belong, either.
Here's a 91 convertible.

Re: 1991 Formula 350 convertible Firehawk tribute

Thanks. It is for sale again (not mine). The guy has a green 91 GTA with 4K miles, blue 91 Z28, this, a couple Calloway TTC4’s and a 93 ZR1.

This car was pitched to me by a mutual friend of the seller. I looked at it but wasn’t interested. Was still curious. Wish they had left the top on.
