I had a red '97 Formula for a while. Didn't drive it very much. It was fun as hell. 6 speed, LT1 with a few mods and LT headers.
Ended up trading it for a new model v6.
Back into a vert with a '99 Camaro SS now.

I got a 95 formula vert. I agree you do not see many of them. Mine came from the factory with white paint, white top and grey interior, but a previous owner put a grey top on it.

Not sure what the figures are, but Formula convertible falls into the ultra rare category.

White leather could very possibly be the ONLY one.

Dude, assuming by "light green" you mean 31U Bright Green Metallic, you have a VERY RARE combo:

Total '97 Formula 'verts: 326
w/ Bright Green Metallic (31U): 4
w/ BGM & White Leather (102/103): 2
(One of these has M6, the other A4, which is yours??)

POST PICS!!

I was at the carwash with mine one day and an older guy rolled in with his. Same yearh, I think his was all white. White top, interior and exterior paint. It was a little too white for my taste!
