What color interior to you have? I think there were 2 or 3 choices for the top color, too.
It's kinda weird for me because I see two every time I walk out of my house...
From what I've found out about my WS6, the purple ones were pretty early in the production run. My WS6 the #19 car converted at ASC, and it was the 6th of the purple ones. It was converted in February of 1998.

BTW Doc, according to Bob Savage's VIN listing of Purple WS6s, one of those 10 coupes is a Formula (ASC #12), making your T/A 1 of 9.

This was unusual because the Pontiac 75th package was only available to regular V6 Firebirds or Formula's.
I'm not sure what the 75th T/A's looked like but two is pretty rare.
oh, and just to be clear, the 75th is referring to Pontiac's 75th year...not Trans Am. I've had that discussion too many times hahaha

In a handful of instances, there were "Formulas" w/ VINs that indicated a 'vert body, but knowing that only two '98 WS6 'verts were Formulas and they were both red (and red cars were not included in Bob's spreadsheets), there was obviously errors somewhere (either the car was really a T/A and not a Formula, or there was a typo on the VIN#). So I can't say the info in Bob's spreadsheets are 100% accurate. However, I do seem to recall someone posting pics of this 1-of-1 Purple Formula WS6 a few years ago.
Although I had been considering putting a WS6 hood on my Formula, and it might give people the impression that it was factory.

If it was a real WS6, a Trans Am... in BPM.. it would be 1 of 2.
Fake WS6 T/A ragtop... 1 of 42.
