Any info about last '02 FORMULA produced? I managed to find out that the last trans am built had the sequence number of 172466.(last camaro was 172467).
But I'm curious as to what the production number of the Last Firebird Formula was.
Is it even possible to find out that information?
I picked up a Formula as a donor car for an ls1 swap I'm planning and once I had it I found out that only 901 Formulas were built in 2002.
The car has 168k miles on it but still runs and looks good. Only issues are a separating door skin on the drivers door and a worn seat bolster.
I was on the fence about stripping it, but to me its worth more in parts, and I have no need for an additional car. Even if I sold it for the KBB value (~5,500), I'd still make less than I would cutting it up.
The only thing that would save this car, lol, is if it was the last Formy built so that's why I'm asking. The production sequence of the car is #152194, so it was towards the end kinda but I'm not sure if they built all of one model at one time or how the plant did it. Just now, I found 2 other '02 Formulas listed for sale online with sequences down in the 102,604 and 12x,xxx sequence range.
Any information regarding the last formula built would be greatly appreciated. Mainly so I can rip this one apart without a possible feeling of guilt.
-I got some other numbers... total birds built in 2002 was 30,690 and total camaros built in 2002 was 42,098.
Thats a total of 72,788. With the sequence starting at 100001, that comes close to the final sequence number of 172467.
So based on that, this Formula was the 52,194th f-body built that year. Still 20,000 from the last car, but if only 901 were made, and I know at least 2 were way before it, when were the other 898 built? That is the million dollar question....
(-also found Formula #37,401, #44,051, and #47,775 for sale online) I guess I'll keep looking till I find one with a higher number than mine, then Ill be satisfied haha....
**EDIT ** JUST found a 2002 Formula with the VIN 2G2FV22G722158746 for sale in AZ. (Sequence 158746)
So now i KNOW mine isnt the last and I guess I can cut it up without fear.

I'll have to check my vin number when I get home. I bought the car in August 2002 and I'm pretty sure it was made in June.

I have kind of a stupid question for you. Can I ask how you came across this info on these numbers? I have a 2000 formula that's Blue Green Chameleon, and the numbers I've found say that only 45 were produced like it. I'd love to know which one of the 45 I have... Looks like it's time for some googling!
