I just bought a rare bird I read on another site about production numbers.. I just bought a 1998 Formula WS6. not a T/A. My first Fbody, I feel so lucky. The site said that they made only 221 of them.
I really want to keep this in the original condition, well except for a few power mods. This site is great, You all have helped me out on what to look for. Thanks

Launching!
Congrats on the rare bird. Formulas are rare. WS6 ones are even rarer. Post some pics when you can. Your are going to have fun with your car. People are going to think you are a V-6

One of the site administrators, Nine Ball, just picked up a '98 Formula WS6 with just over 9,700 miles on the odometer: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showpost....&postcount=237

Well, Through this site, and the search engine, I was able to find out about so many things. Such as RPO codes and what they mean. Free mods, many other things. I found this car on autotrader, checked out the vin, then checked the RPO codes, I couldn't believe it. I am so happy. The only down side I hade to use my 97 f150, 4x4 ,5.4 V8, dealer installed SVO supercharger, for a trade in. I just need to fix the AC, good thing for t-tops. And the monsoon radio is there but doesn't work, previous owner had a Ghetto system in it. It is an amazing vehicle. Thanks for sites like this....

Thanks. What surprised me. Was my wife wanted meto get it too. I told her that with this, I don't need the Harley anymore.. Hmm, She didn't like that idea too much. Hard to find a good woman that lets me have my toys.

Congrats on the find! WS6 Formulas are super rare, and arguably the best looking 4th gen f-body built. At least I think so
How many miles on it? 6-speed or auto? Cloth or leather?
BTW, the red "RAM AIR" decals aren't stock. They should be black on a silver car. You can pick up a set of those on ebay.

Yeah, I want to take it back to the orignal condition as best I can. It has more miles than I want. but what can you do. it has 85,000. 6 speed, cloth interior, monsoon radio. It seemed by the RPO code I had pretty much everything but leather. I am still checking though.
