Default How rare is my car

I know its not ltx modification oriented but i wasnt sure where else to put it.

my car is a 96 firebird ws6 m6 hardtop. I know their was 126 black 96' firebird ws6 m6 cars...does anyone have a way of finding how many of those had hard tops? i cant imagine it was too many.

thanks in advance,

I think you can call up SLP (if they made the LT1 WS6's, like the LT1 SS's).

when you say firebird, I'm assuming you mean you have a hardtop ws6 formula... am I right? Not trying to be wise just making sure you are talking about a trans am

I've tried and tried and can't come up with any breakdowns for the '96 and '97 WS6 cars. Called SLP and even emailed Dave Hamburger and he had no records available.

I have a Red 96 Formula WS6 M6 hardtop with cloth int. There was 524 total Ws6 Formulas and 104 red ones, but thats all I know, I would say mines one of maybe 50 or less.

Who in their right mind gets no options except for t-tops? Thats how my car is optioned lol I bet its one of just a couple like that. My buddies WS6 is full option except for t-tops as well, exact opposite of mine.

I ordered a hard top just for the increased body rigidity. I came very close to ordering the 1LE, but a friend, who was also my salesman, talked me out of it due to the lack of air conditioning. That would have sucked down south, but wouldn't have been so bad in Michigan.

All I know, is if I'm doing the number calculations right on my car, is (not factoring in color) mine is 1 of 10. Guesstimate based on color (red) I'd say 1 of 6 and then factor in the 10 speaker option and I'd say 1 of 2. Yet I think more probable 1 of 1 with 3.23s

Best I can help is this post.

EDIT: I figure, again assuming I'm doing this right, based on (and assuming Formula) Hardtop M6 WS6 you're looking at 1 of 89. If you have chrome wheels and leather, then you're looking at less of course.
