Both I have are 94 as well, the red one hardtop auto with 123K, very clean fast car. Never had many problems with optis out of the 10 FBody's I've owned.

I had issues with both. I sold my first one because I was in a financial pinch and I felt the (A4) tranny was starting to get weak (it was, as I confirmed later with the purchaser). I sold the second to finance the purchase of my Judge. Interestingly, I came within a hair of buying each one of them back at different points. I loved those cars, but I ended up going LS1.

An interesting feature of those cars is they both had articulating leather seats with inflatable side bolsters and lumbar, and manually adjustable thigh bolsters. As far as I know, the thigh bolsters went away entirely on later cars, and the inflatable bolsters became only available on Trans Ams. I wish I had those seats in my current Formulas!

Love those GS wheels on your Formula.
We were chatting about our wheels on FB. I have some real GS that I need to refurbish and I just bought some deep lug AFS' that have never been mounted.

Those wheels are definitely worth refinishing! Pricey to do so but what they would be worth is good reason to do so. Just got these in today👍
