Default Hardtop Trans Am

I know GM never made such a car for the LS1 years.
Did they make one for the LT1 years? If they did, I've never seen one.

Has anybody taken a hardtop Formula and put T/A bumpers, ground effects, and hatch on it to have a "hardtop T/A". Would be an interesting project, and I might do it once I get out of college and get some money to burn.

Actually in 1998 there were a few made if I remember correctly, but it wasn't many. I know some of the early press cars were hardtop Trans Ams as I remember seeing some posts about it here.

Try the firebird section of this site.

there were only a few prototype 98 ls1 t/A hardtops. They did offer ls1 formula hardtops tho. LT1 t/a's and formulas could be hardtops. A member on here did a ls1 conversion on his lt1 hardtop, so in essence it looks like he has an ls1 hardtop t/a. Maybe he'll chime in, his car was caddilac pearl white.

I have a hardtop Lt1 T/A. I love it, except for the peeling clear coat on the roof.

Correct !

GM, or should I say PONTIAC got smart with the LS1's. You won't find a cloth interior in a LS1 Trans-Am from the factory either.

When I was looking in '99 I found this out. I wanted a hard top so I was going to order a Ram Air Formula, but they were talking 6 months so I bought the Z.

nvm it was an 02 CETA yellow 6spd it looked like a CETA but without all the grafix. Very nice looking WS6, but I would pay 80k for one less option.
