Default Is this a 1LE Formy?

Im looking at getting another LS1 and I came upon this I love NBM and well this looks pretty nice its a 1998 Formula WS6 with 6 Speed and Tan leather interior it has 110K and hes only asking 6K for it. I was wondering if its a 1LE because of the rims heres a pic.

Need to see the option list on the door panel...

I don't believe the 1LE had special rims...

FYI 1LE cars didn't get special wheels.
They look like painted C5 Corvette magnesium wheels.

WS6's didn't get ABS centercaps, only the 16" wheels had those. The WS6's read "WS6 Performance and Handling Package". Either way, highly unlikely a 1LE car, but it looks nice.

Just look on the door for the codes. WS6 formulas are very rare, and have the same wheels as the WS6 T/As.

If its a True WS6, that is a good price for the car. It looks to be well taken care of. There were only 221 WS6 Formula Coupes produced in 1998, and the fact it has leather, T-Tops, and is NBM makes it even more far and few....buy it!!!!

Its to far away for me down in So-cal and i really dont like the formy rear wing.


Anyways I think I found my car its a 1998 NBM Trans Am has OEM WS6 hood, Vette Zr1s, SLP LM1, SLP Lid, TB spacer which I dont even know if it does anything, and a "super sucker" as he called it its a plastic air duct that runs to the underneath of the car. It only has 77K with 64K on engine and trans only flaws are two small paint spots. Also has a banging stereo two kenwood 12's with nice amp and deck.

His lowest price is 7500 good deal? BTW A4

THIS IS NOT A 1LE FORMULA WS6! Formula 1LEs have NO T-Tops and crank windows. Those wheels are a dead giveaway
