Yeah, it's unfortunate that the information is so sparse for some years. Surely GM kept track of how many they were making/selling, but for some reason they haven't bothered to tell anyone else!

Well that at least tells me that I have one of 1,602 Formula's from 2000.
I wish I knew how many were hard top M6's.
Pretty sure a hardtop Formula in Blue-Green Chameleon is pretty rare.

Well, a 98 hardtop M6 I assume is Formula...

There were 26 total Formula coupes (both T-top and hardtop) in Purple. There were 124 total Formula coupes (both T-top and hardtop) in Blue-Green Chameleon. If you tell me which of those two colors you actually have, I can calculate the approximate number of those which would be hardtop M6s.

Riceburner - I haven't seen BGC in person, but I don't think it has a purple shade to it... if your paint really is blue-purple, sounds like a cool color, but it's probably not the original factory paint

I can't determine your original color from the VIN (although a GM dealership could using their database, it's not actually part of the VIN). I'd need your color code from the RPO sticker on the driver's-side door frame. If you don't know which is the color code, just post everything that it says on the sticker.

It's the one with a whole bunch of three-character codes - a few examples of RPO codes are WS9, WS6, Y2Y, B4C, Z28, ....

There may also be some other stuff at the top and bottom of the sticker, such as a few longer numbers, etc. There are some photos available online of what an RPO sticker looks like, don't have one on hand at the moment; but it should be pretty easy to spot.

What are the production numbers for a 1997 Firebird Formula, A4 with the exterior black paint? I can't seem to find any of this info.

2,293 non-WS6 Formula coupes in 1997

No color stats for 1997, unfortunately. But here's a general rough estimate:

28% of Formula coupes in 1998 were black, so if it's a similar percentage in 1997, that'd be around 642 black non-WS6 Formula coupes in 97.

And if about 69.3% (also from 98) of those were A4, that's approximately 445 black A4 non-WS6 Formula coupes in 97.

Ah, that sucks. Thanks for the numbers though. They are most likely pretty close
