1995 Porsche 968 Firehawk race car
SOLD (you missed an awsome car)
Well it looks like it's time to sell my professionally prepared and raced 968 Firehawk race car. I've decided to get out of racing, so I no longer need an all-out race car. This car is ready for someone to race in the PCA club racing series. It's ready to run at the front of the pack and win again. Many racers in PCA Club Racing are aware of this car and it's potential to win.
This car was developed to race in the IMSA Firestone Firehawk series by Dennis Boada for the Hawk Motorsports team. It was purchased new in 1994 as a street car and driven on the street for about 500 miles to break-in the engine. Then it was torn apart and built into an all-out production race car for the IMSA Firehawk series by one of the top teams in the series (Hawk Motorsports). This preparation included cutting off the sunroof (replaced with solid panel), adding a full welded cage with NASCAR bars in the driver's door, engine blue-printing and dyno-tuning, suspension improvements, and other "improvements". In 1994 the Hawk Motorsports team (driven by David Murry and Boris Said) won the Firehawk series with 2 identically prepared 968's and this car was one of them. In 1995 it was raced in the Sebring 12 Hour Race and then both cars (yellow and red 968) sold to Karl Singer. Dave White (Tampa, FL) continued the development of both these cars for Karl Singer and his sons. It was run by Tony and Casey Singer in various IMSA street races and in PCA Club Racing. This yellow car won the Road America PCA E class race twice and was closely followed by the red car. I purchased this car from Karl Singer (Dave White) in August 1999 and have upgraded numerous components through Midwest Eurosport.
I have run DE events and raced it in the PCA Club Racing series, with 2nd place finishes at Gingerman. I'm not sure what current professional race series it would qualify for.
Condition:
It's in 1st rate mechanical shape (needs nothing) and average cosmetic condition inside and out (good for race car). Clean PCA Club Racing log book.
Specs:
Email for build sheet.

The "FireHawk" designation does not reference any particular model or Porsche prepped vehicle. FireHawk was a series run by IMSA and supported by Firestone(FireHawk). The series included all sorts of american and foreign based vehicles. There were a limited number of 944's and even fewer 968's that participated. The vehicle spec's we're dictated by IMSA.
The best way to confirm if a Firehawk car is authentic is to check the log book and also look for the IMSA stickers on the roll cage.
A buddy of mine has a shop in NJ. PMR Motorsports, that has a few "Authenetic" Firehawks that run out of his shop.
Hope that explains things a bit.

The flying hawk decal it is. I searched online, albeit not long, but couldn't seem to locate anything from the series. Let me know if you still have them, if you are willing to part with them and if so, your asking price. Another example of the power of rennlist.
