I read somewhere that only 133 SOM automatic T-Top WS6 T/A's were made in '01. Would the other cars be Formula's and/or Convertibles?

The others would be 6spd coupes, auto convertibles, and 6spd convertibles...no Formula WS6's in 2001...

What is more common on SOM WS6 cars, Ebony or Camel interior? I have Camel but I don't really care for the 2tone look. Wish it was all camel.

All Formulas (WS9) are also Firebirds. All Trans Ams are also Formulas. So, you could, technically, say that you have a Firebird Formula Trans Am WS6. However, after 2000, you could not get a Firebird Formula WS6...unless it was a Firebird Formula Trans Am WS6...


(Ebony interior here...though I've added some orange leather now too...)

I got my '02 WS6 in Oct. 2001. The ASC conversion number is 3392. SOM with Ebony interior. A4 with lots of mods now. Just a little over 50000 miles.

Ordered my 2001 SOM WS6 in January 01, took delivery March 16, 2001. Here are my build numbers straight from Marty Straub.


Hi John,

I'm still way behind, but I'll get yours out a little "early".

According to our records, your S/N 137616 is an orange 2001 WS6 with T-Tops
and a manual transmission. It was converted by ASC February 20, 2001 and
was our build number 5,554.

The 2001 model year WS6 breakdown is:
7,869 WS6s built
7,088 T-Tops
4,107 manual transmissions
365 orange

With your specific combination (orange, T-Tops, manual trans), we built
195.

Sorry, but we didn't track interior colors.

I hope this information is helpful. Thanks for your patience.

Marty Straub

I'm really having a hard time with the paint codes. It seems to me there is more than one shade of SOM. Personally, it seems as though the SOM I find on f-bodies to be a bit darker/ richer than most. For Example, the pictures displayed in this thread show the exact color I'm looking for........however, when I do searches for paints I somehow come up with a lighter version as can be seen HERE

It just doesn't seem right to me, can someone look in their glove box and throw some paint codes at me? Just wondering how many variations there are in the code.

thanks,
-Blake
