Fake Firehawk alert

Guy has a nice 91 Formula with SLP sticker and exhaust and thinks it is a Firehawk.

Asking a crazy amount of money for a Formula.

Yeah I saw that this morning.

Cool sticker though

I saw it didn't have the TRAM intake either

I wonder why a rebuilt title? I've never heard of this happening before. Sounded kind of flaky

When people sell cars they sometimes use a bunch of different tag words in the title so it will be picked up by more searches.
In the description, they state its a formula modified by SLP. There are several goofy things about it (title being one) and someone on TGo got part of the story from the person that listed it. (its his dads car, odd)
However, from the VIN number, the rpo codes were ran and turns out, it is a true 1LE with ttops. It also has the 50hp SLP E-legal kit (cold air box, runners, headers, catback and prom plus underdrive pulleys) installed by SLP, dealer or ???
Always looking for SLP/Firehawk parts for 3rdgen birds.

Don't see anything in the ad that says it's a Firehawk. Looks like he just added a bunch of keywords including Firehawk to show up in more searches.
