Diff between Firebird Models
Lets see there's
Firebird, base model, V6
Firebird Formula, V8 , could also be had with the WS6 package
Firebird Trans Am, V8, little more upmarket with the interior (PW, PDL, Adjustable Leather seats, Monsoon stereo, could also be had with the WS6 package
Firehawk, V8, SLP performance/appearance goodies (lid +catback, special floor mats) available, different looking hood than the WS6 or Trans Am
WS6 package consisted of hood, different lower air box, shocks (supposedly higher durometer bushings and different springs) and the 17" wheels and tires
also available was an NHRA edition (basically just some badges)
I'm sure I'm forgetting some specifics on each model/option package, but that's the basic breakdown of the Firebird line
So that would be 8 (Firebird, Formula, WS6 Formula, NHRA Formula, Trans Am, Trans Am WS6, NHRA Trans Am , Firehawk) if you count the WS6 and NHRA as seperate models and if you don't it's 4

Don't recall hearing about this package before, but I managed to find enough information about it to get it added!

Well, doh... I just realized I did look up some stuff about the 75th Anniversary package for you already, back in January. It was posted in a thread that was originally started about the NHRA SE package, though, so I apparently overlooked it when getting everything together for the list in March
