Is it a Firebird that has a transplanted LS1?
If so why change it. Sleeper

4th gen (LS1) Formulas are rare.
4th gen (LS1) WS6 and Firehawk Formulas are even rarer.
I'd say leave it like it is, then again I am partial to Formulas.

Any idea on how rare? I have a '99 Formula WS6. Just curious.

Check your option codes to make sure yours is real, and not just had a hood added. I think there were only like 175 WS6 Formulas in 1999. Pretty rare in my book. Even more rare with a hard top instead of t-tops...

that kinda makes me wish i had gone with the silver formula WS6 i looked at. it handled like crap though. 175 sounds rare, but it will take time before the rarity makes them worth anything

i think the v6 front looks better on the firebird, the DRLs and fog lights show better. but i like the rear bumper and rear hatch from the t/a better. u can get a hatch for like 300 an a bumper for prolly half that an just swap em on

If it "looks like a Firebird" as in a V6 car it's probably a Formula. If it says Trans Am on the doors the previous owner might have put that there. Formulas had an appearance package option where you could get ground effects from the factory. Does it have a high rise spoiler?
