2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! I popped open my Pontiac Mag that you get for free when you buy a car..(One helluva way to get a magazine subscription eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> )... And I found 'The Numbers' I quickly scanned and OCR'd the page and am posting it. Additionally, I'd like to find a further breakdown on different combo's. If anyone else has, or comes across this info, PLEASE POST IT. (If this info has already been posted, please forgive me..) Production figures for the '02 model year 2002 marked the final year of production for the Firebird. Below is a sampling of that final year's production numbers, as well as examples of some of the year's rarest option combinations. 2002 OVERALL PRODUCTION Firebird coupe 8,423 Firebird convertible 1,498 Formula coupe 901 Trans Am coupe 3,962 Trans Am convertible 998 Trans Am cpe. w/Ram Air* 12,212 Trans Am cony. w/Ram Air* 2,696 Total 30,690 * Includes Collector Edition 2002 COLLECTOR EDITION Collector Edition cpe. w/6-speed manual trans.842 Collector Edition cpe. w/4-speed auto. trans.506 Collector Edition cony. w/6-speed manual trans.554 Collector Edition conv. w/4-speed auto. trans.488 Total 2,390 2002 TRANS AM Trans Am cpe. w/6-speed manual trans. 1,591 Trans Am cpe. w/4-speed auto. trans. 2,371 Trans Am cony. w/6-speed manual trans. 235 Trans Am conv. w/4-speed auto. trans. 763 Trans Am cpe. w/Ram Air, 6-speed trans. 6,828 Trans Am cpe. w/Ram Air, 4-speed auto. 5,384 Trans Am cony. w/Ram Air, 6-speed trans. 1,176 Trans Am cony. w/Ram Air, 4-speed auto. 1,520 2002 NHRA PACKAGE (RPO 1SH) Formula w/6-speed manual trans. 62 Formula w/4-speed auto. trans. 85 Trans Am cpe. w/6-speed manual trans. 136 Trans Am cpe. w/4-speed auto. trans. 189 Trans Am conv. w/5-speed manual trans. 16 Trans Am cony. w/4-speed auto. trans. 46 Total 534 2002 EXTERIOR COLORS (all models) Arctic White 2,918 Pewter Metallic 4,302 Bright Silver Metallic 3,089 Navy Blue Metallic 3,290 Black 7,572 Maple Red Metallic 867 Collector Yellow 2,390 Sunset Orange Metallic 1,208 Bright Red 5,053 2002 CONVERTIBLE TOP COLORS (all models) White 137 Black 4,455 Taupe 600 2002 OPTIONS Firebirds with T-top Hatch Roof (all models)23,648 Hurst shifter (6-speed trans. only) 9,194 12-disc CD changer (all models) 5,934 Traction Control (all models) 16,837 Monsoon stereo 23,964 2002 RARE COMBINATIONS Trans Am convertibles painted Maple Red Metallic 9 Firebird convertibles built with White top 34 Trans Am convertibles built with White top 11 Formula w/6-speed and chrome 16-in. wheels 170 Ram Air convertible w/6-speed and Camel leather interior 14 Only 901 Formulas!! And I KNOW my special ordered 3.23 !TC BSM Formula must be conservatively in the 200-300 Range..Pfft..It realistically may be much lower. I may truely have a 'rare bird' on my hands. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Those NHRA editions... I didnt even know they made em in 02!!! I thought they stopped making those. Otherwise, I would have tried to get one. My 98 I have only been able to figure on being one of about 700 with its combo, mainly because it doesnt have TC. (Remember, 98 was one of the lowest production years because of, as I understand it, the temporary shut down at the plant to finish re-tooling for the LS1) Looking at the numbers, there were only 30,690 lucky SOB's to score a true 'Last of Breed' car. Long Live the Firebird!!! <img src="http://www.boxofwires.com/sm/sm-liftformula.gif" alt=" - " /> |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! You've got to love Formulas. Anyone know where I can find the 2000 numbers? I know where to find 1998, 2001, and 2002 production numbers but I've never seen them for my year. I wonder how rare my 2000, black, hardtop, with 3.23's is? |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Where are those 'other numbers' I'd like to spend the time and post those numbers. It would be greatly appreciated! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! You can find the 1998 production numbers at www.theformulasource.com under 98UP production numbers. I have the 2001 production numbers in a magazine. I'll find the magazine and post the numbers tomorrow (I have a stack of about 300 magazines). |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Ya! The Formula Source RULES! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Anything else you can provide would be great! I'd like to put something together on boxofwires.com A few beers on a cold MidWest Friday night...discussing the 'final' numbers on our beloved birds can be depressing... (sniff) BUT..2morrow is 'sposed to be 'relatively' nice.. Perhaps some ricer abuse will cheer me up.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> |

I know my old Blue Green Chameleon was one of 124 Formulas in that color that year. The rarest 98 is a Navy Blue WS6 Formula. Only one made in that color, and a friend of mine up here owns it (Warbird is his username) If I had been able to order an 02, it would've been a SSOM Formula or Maple Red Formula, two of the rarest colors. I wonder if there are any new 02 Formulas on any dealer's lot? (not that I can afford it, just curious) |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Dood, Thanks for the excellent info! It is nice to have a rare car for that model year. I didn't even know they still made the maple red. I never see that color on the streets. Patman, I don't think too many 02 Formula's will be found on dealer lots. I remember in July of 2001, I literally called 40 Pontiac dealerships in greater (much greater) chicagoland vicinty. There were only about 3 or 4 Formulas on the lot! A good portion of the salespeople did not know what a Formula was, and one woman even argued with me that Pontiac had not made a Formula for quite some time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> . Needless to say I just ended up ordering mine. Regards, |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Here are the 2001 numbers from High Performance Pontiac magazine (Jan 2002). It's not nearly as detailed as what Dood posted. Formula Coupe - 1037 total, 311 6speeds, 726 auto Trans Am Coupe - 2596 total, 1028 6speeds, 1568 auto Trans Am Conv - 396 total, 81 6speeds, 315 auto Trans Am WS6 Coupe - 7,073 total, 3832 6speed, 3241 auto Trans Am WS6 Coupe Conv - 796 total, 280 6speed, 516 auto Options - Hurst shifter (BBS) Formula 225 TA Coupe 605 TA Conv 57 TA WS6 Coupe 3257 TA WS6 Conv 214 3.23 Rear Axle (GU5) Formula 507 TA Coupe 692 TA Conv 141 TA WS6 coupe 3241 TA WS6 conv 516 TTop (CC1) Formula 849 TA Coupe 2596 TA Conv 0 TA WS6 Coupe 7073 TA WS6 Conv 0 |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Wow, I'm one of 136. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Thanks for the info Dood. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Wow. Those are pretty low numbers when you think about it. You have to remember that the models that were made in a given color in large numbers were usually the most desired. That usually never changes. For example, a black T-top WS6 Trans Am is very popular because that's the way most people like T/As. Years from now it will be the black T/As that will be the most sought after IMHO because people liked them more. The main force behind making a car more valuable is desirability. They made huge numbers of 1957 Chevys and that never stopped them from being overpriced on the collector market. Same with the 1967 Camaro SS, they made huge numbers of them (close to a million I think) and a #1 condition 396 can go for six figures these days. Also the 1977-78 black and gold Trans-Am which was made in huge numbers is now a very sought after collectors car, because it is a signature of its era. Rarity does not guarantee collectibility, although sometimes it can add to value. Man, I love my Trans Am. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" /> |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! Cool! But what's a Firbird? LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> |
Re: 2002 Firbird Production Numbers!! anyway to find out how many 2001 AW WS-6 M6's there were <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> |
How many 2000 MRM TAs I have searched far and wide for production numbers for 2000 Trans Ams produced with the Maple Red Metallic paint option. I even ordered a packet from Pontiac Historical Services, it provides no color breakdown. I know that they're weren't all that many produced, but I would like to know just how many were. Can anyone help me? Thanks A Bunch, Tony Green |
...ttt ...ttt |
Resurrect this, anyone know? Ive got one too, theres is another here in my town. The only other one Ive seen. |
I don't have an answer for you guys, but I wanted to say that I love that color. Haven't seen one in person yet, just photos, but that is a sweet ass color. |
I will also say that is a beautiful color! I would have love to be able to find A WS6 in that color |
http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/65643/HPIM0204.jpg This is my 2000 TA MMR. I have a tan leather interior. I have NEVER seen another TA with this same color, and I live in So. California. I have however seen a few Firebirds. Here also is my mess around video: http://home.ripway.com/2004-2/65643/FINAL.wmv |
