Excerpted from the book entitled, "Pontiac Firebird 1967-2000 Photo History" by George W. Scala

Firebird production for 1999:

Firebird 17,170
Firebird Convertible 1,245
Trans Am 13,108*
Trans Am Convertible 1,494
30th Trans Am 1,065
30th Trans Am Convertible 535
Total Production: 36,219

Formula WS-6 175**
Trans Am WS-6 2,765
Trans Am Convertible SW-6 467

*Between the Formula and the Trans Am, at the time this info was published, only 721 Firehawks were built. A fire at SLP damaged records--my book says more figures were due out later.

**Of these, 20 were the Formula 1LE (WS-6)

I hope this helps you out

I've torn the place apart trying to find that info....I know I've got it somewhere. When or if I find it, I'll post it here.

This doesn't pertain to your car, but I remember seeing that Pewter Metallic was something like 9% of the 'birds for 2000, and that kind of surprised me.

I would have to agree that the "hatch roof" cars would be the non-t-top and the t-top equipped cars.

I think the Silver 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels (PA6) (with the twisted spokes as shown in your link) were new for 2000. You could still get the regular Silver 5-spoke aluminum wheels (N60) and the chromed 5-spoke aluminum wheels (P05). I know they were at least offered from 1998-2002 as standard equipment on Firebirds, Formulas and Trans Ams. They were painted white for the 25th Anniversary cars in 1994, so they've been used on the LT1 cars too.

You might have to contact GM or the company that did the WS6 assembly just 20 minutes away from the Camaro/Firebird plant in Montreal. You can find their site here: http://www.asc-usa.com

Neither have I. I gave that one a second thought as I was typing it, but I only have the book to go on....and there's a possibility that it's wrong.

Maybe we've only seen one of the 72% that don't have the memory seat option
