Description:

Well, I cannot believe I am doing this, but I have decided to go in a different direction car wise. I am selling my super rare Pontiac Formula WS6. It has a Borg-Warner 6-speed manual and dark pewter leather interior. From what I understand, only 221 WS6 Formulas were produced in 1998 and only 51 had the 6-speed manual and dark pewter leather interior.
This car is also one of the lowest (if not the lowest) mileage examples in existence, It has always been garage kept and in like-new condition. This was the first year for the WS6 package on a Formula with the LS1 engine, which had larger injectors, a more performance-orientated CPU tune, and a one-year only, low restriction / high flow exhaust system. It has the extremely cool single side exhaust! The Formula is also rarer, lighter, and quicker than the Trans Am. In addition, the WS6 package includes the Ram Air hood, performance exhaust, special wheels, and upgraded suspension.
The car also has the rare options of a 6-way power seat, leather, and Monsoon stereo system. It also does have the standard items of tilt, cruise, power windows, locks, and A/C. I have all of the original paperwork including window sticker, original owners manual and all the of original purchase paperwork. The car is 100% original and will not disappoint (still smells brand new). Additionally, the whole car was ceramic coated and full front end was wrapped in XPEL paint protection film. I can answer any more detailed questions about condition, options, etc. for serious inquiries.

I never even knew such a creature existed. The exhaust reminds me of the earlier SS Camaro setups, and they were the about the best sounding exhausts on the F-Body.

GLWS on this one, someone is getting basically a brand new car.

Yes beautiful car.. Had mine on this site for sale a couple of months. Had over 1000 views but zero offers. Put it on Ebay, sold it to cash buyer at buy it now price. I'd try listing it Autotrader or Ebay if you're serious to sell.

Hey Dren - I am serious to sell for sure. It is currently on Cars.com and I planned on doing Autotrader and eBay later today. The car is amazing and probably the only Formula WS6 left at this level of "newness". It has a lot going for it being a 98, black, single side exhaust, no traction control. It is just so cool. It is also well protected with xPEL paint protection as well.

Just an FYI about these items, there was no special performance tune for the WS6 cars of any model year, the PCM and program is the same for all LS1 F-bodies of a given model year and trans type. Also, the larger injectors were not part of the WS6 package (all 1998 LS1s received them), and all 2001-'02 LS1 models also received the larger injectors (only the '99-'00 cars received the smaller injectors) - but it would be correct to say that 1998 WS6 Formula was the only WS6 Formula to receive the larger injectors as there was no WS6 Formula model for the 2001-'02 model years.

Good luck with the sale, but I agree with the others about alternate venues (ebay, Hemmings, etc.) being better suited for selling a car such as this.

Sweet car, and indeed rare, especially w/ 4 digit mileage. GLWTS.

Minor corrections to the numbers quoted in the OP: In '98 a total of 244 Formula WS6s were built (23 were Canadian "exports", which leaves 221 for the US). Of those, a total of 154 had M6, and of those:
- 51 had the Pewter leather interior w/ the AG1 articulating seats
- 104 had the W55 Monsoon w/ CD HU
- 76 were 41U black
- 125 had T-Tops

Whoa... What a time capsule! It got written up for the front page, and I put it on the LS1 Twitter, so hopefully that helps get you some eyeballs. Good luck with the sale!
