Look what i bought at LKQ..VERY RARE optioned Formy 
These were only available in 95 and 96 Firebirds. The car had to be white, black, silver or red to get this option. I have never seen another car in person with this interior. Production numbers are around 240-250 TOTAL for both years!
There were just over 1 million total 4th gen Fbodys built and around 330,00 of those were Firebirds. That means that .02% of the 4th gens got this interior and .07% of just 4th gen firebirds got this option...

not the most attractive stuff i have bought but neat none the less and for the money it was hard to pass up given how hard it is to find...it would look good in a black car with red stripes or something along those lines...

Nice find . Geez , you cant even get busted up ripped 4th gen Camaro seats for that . Our LKQ locally sells stuff dirt cheap like that , but they rarely get a 4th gen in . Ive only seen those seats in person once in my life , lol . I always thought the 2 tone red/charcoal interior looked amazing . They would look especially perfect in a Cyber grey painted LS1 era WS-6 with a HP evo type wheel .

^ This was a 95 formula and some how it made it to the yard with the motor, trans and rear end still in the car. By the time i got to it two guys (who were fbody nuts also) were yanking the block(all that was left). The rear end was oddly still in the car but was a 2.73 after checking the RPOs so i left it.
Our yard seems to hold up well..saw two GTP/Aurora blower motors still fully intact while i was there.

and no that doesnt mean im expecting 600 out of them

FYI, you will get compliments on that interior wherever you go. My car is a rebuild, so the entire front end looks like crap because each panel is a different color than the rest of the car. I went to the FBody Gathering in Atlanta in 2009. I saw people laugh at my car when they would approach it, but the smiles went away as they got closer and they always complimented my interior. Same way when I am at the track as well.

My old 95' hardtop. I don't know how many times I had to tell people "IT'S NOT A CUSTOM INTERIOR, IT CAME THAT WAY!". I even had a guy in a Z06 try to trade me interiors at a car show. Nope!
Anyhow, had to sell her when I got orders; it was either the SS or the T/A.....miss her dearly.

i have honesty been getting a bunch of offers on the door panels only lol...the rear seats are almost perfect..the passenger seat is in good shape with no rips. the drivers seat has a small 1" tear (you can see it in the pic) but overall they are actually in good shape! i truelly bought them for game room chairs...hahaha. i knew they were rare and just wanted them for the "interesting" factor..
they arent truelly for sale but everything is for the right price. Make an offer if you (the reader) is interested.
