Wow rez a 2 year old thread. Its worth it I figure.
Heh.. A Formula? Just A Formula? Hell, you cant have just one. So far I have these.
71 Formula 400
72 Formula 455 (1 of 276)
74 Formula 350
77 Formula with the Blue Bird package
79 Formula was 301 4 speed, now Butler Performance 467/th400
98 Formula A4 a red one with 2.73 gears
Still looking for a 98 Formula convertible. I will take the red one or the black one.
I also have Trans Ams, just not as many. All are 79s.
10th Anniversary with the 403
Black SE 403
Red no T top 403
Blue SE 403
Been buying them cheap since 1987, only paid more than $500 for the 10th TA, the 72 Formy, and the 98. So no I am not rich, I just have storage space. Also have 3 GTOs. 65,70,72. I still like the Formula best. The 70-73 are my favorite Formulas.

Thumpin you have any pics of the 72 455??
I love the look of the 70-73 Formulas as well.
The only Fbody I was going to buy was a Formula and I got one. Love the look of a Formula and especially educating people about them.

The 72, its # matching with no paint code on the cowl tag, makes it sorta rare.
the 71 looks like this, its a $300 roller. I will finish it as soon as I get it from the farm.
The 79 with the 467.
The 74 is rough as hell, two hit and runs, and a previous owner being stupid really hurt this car. The AC still worked when I parked it though.
And the 98 with WS6 wheels.
The 10th Anniversary TA way back in 1987 when I bought it. It had been repainted so its missing a few things but the vin has the X in it, and its also # match.

Had a formula. Got tired of the same old whats that convo. No one outside GM enthusiasts seems to know what it is. Plus I really wanted T-tops and that spoiler. The normal conversation went like this. Whats a formula?/Nice engine swap. A formula is a V6 body firebird with the V8 motor from the factory. their reaction man there aint no such thing/a trans am would still kick your ***

Welcome to my life story.
I've just given in to either saying "Firebird" or "Trans Am"

How rare is a '95 1LE Formula?
One of TWO...and ours is the WHITE one...made famous in the One Lap of America, after being a Project Car in the early days of GM High Tech Performance Magazine...
