If its a OEM Ws6... it could be just a formula with a Ws6 hood and the are saying its a ws6. but get the vin for it.

Aren't the A4's actually less common in the 96+ WS6 Formy's?

+1 for running the vin. I'd just as for a full RPO sheet picture. You get the VIN and then all the RPO's. While those sheets CAN be replicated, it wouldn't hurt.

I can't find how many were made in 1996, but I found that 41 were made in 1997.

96 was the first WS6 year where it was an actual engine performance and appearance package right? (As apposed to mine, which is sadly just suspension based)

Im sure it is a real ws6 formy,and in great shape.the guy works near me,but i saw it earlier today(FS sign in window).then saw it in the paper. I think it said only $6,000 7k in the paper,and like 40k miles if i remember.I think it would be worth it to check it out,I just might buy it,and its a 97. Along the lines of this,seriously not to brag or anything,but I live in a "well off" part of town and you guys wouldnt believe how many rich old guys have nice rare cars in their garages,and this is prob one of them. I see some amazing low mile exotic/rare cars come out every now and then,and for sale in the paper. And when they want something new they basically "give them away". i have a older friend whos wife's parent GAVE him a 29,000 mile 96 formula.and my bro has a friend who found a mint 18,000 mile IROC here too,its pretty cool i guess,those kinda "barn finds" get me excited haha.

No, not rare at all. Leave it alone. And PM me with his phone number, please. Please.
But seriously, they sold less Formulas than Trans Ams. They sold less convertibles than hardtops or t-tops. They sold less 6 speed Pontiacs than autos. They sold less WS6 models than standard. So do the math.
Go for it.
