Rare Car (HardTop WS6 Firebird) Not my car, but thought someone might be interested. The miles are a little high, but this is the first hardtop firebird WS6 in Pewter I've seen. Prob. quite quick as it's void of all the add on stuff that makes most F-Bods so heavy.

Hardtop or not, any LS1 WS6 Formula is rare. I beleive the build numbers look something like this:
'98: 24(?) WS6 Formulas built
'99: 150(?) WS6 Formulas built
'00: 232 WS6 Formulas built
I'm pretty sure on the '00 build numbers but I might be off a few on the '98/'99. But that gives you a general idea. And since black and red were the most common colors, being pewter certainly makes it one of very few.

And for '99 it seems I was also off a little, I just found on someone's webpage that there were 175 built in '99.
I'm still pretty sure that 232 was correct for '00.

i almost bought an 00 pewter Formula WS6, think it was a hardtop. if it was in better condition(bumper needed to be repainted, needed new shocks), that would be my ride. if i had known how rare, i might have bought it.
