Wow, ..., with the white seats & door panels to boot, ...
What an oddball that is.

The only white interior to come in a fourth-gen 'bird from the factory was in the '99 30th Anniversary 'Birds.

I wouldn't call that car rare...I'd call it modified. Since it's not a '94 25th Anniversary or a '99 30th Anniversary, that white interior has been installed by a previous owner.

The rarest part of the car is the paint color.

It's factory. It has the white top on it. I've seen a bunch of 4th gen firebird convertibles with the white leather interior, they all seem to have white tops.... I think you could only get the white interior in the coupe's with the annivesary packages(94 and 99)

My 96 formula has it.

it's 4 way white: paint, interior, top, and wheels

Exactly what I was going to say. There are a few White Trans Am Convets. rolling around my part of town. One has a white top with white interior and the other has a tan top with white interior. It could just be one of those rare cars, almost like the Barney Purple LT1 Trans Ams

A good friend of mine has a 95 T/A white with white interior (white top too). Was it called triple white in 95?

There was only something like 500 white top verts made in 99 so there are very few.

Keep in mind it could still be modified though, since the car does have at least one definite cosmetic mod- the Collector's Edition rear filler panel. Who knows if he added everything or not. Have to check the RPO codes to be sure.
