I currently have what i thought was a 1989 Firebird with 305 tbi and 700r4 trans for sale. Not until recently when i ran the vin number when i realized that it was a 1989 firebird formula. The engine runs great never a problem with that i purchased the car from some kid in greenbay and he did the primer and looks like crap. I want to get rid of this car to finish my other car. Would like to get 1600 out of it. Thanks for looking Nick

Just so you know, the VIN number will not indicate if the car is a Firebird or a Formula so it could be a Firebird. A Formula is basically a Firebird with WS6 suspension. If the RPO does doesn't show WS6 it's a Firebird.
the vin number belongs to that car and that car only correct? So then why on earth would it come up formula when i run it if its not? and one more thing if your not interested in this car or would not want it in any way i would appreciate it if you kept your comments to your self

Well there is NO character in the VIN that will designate the car as a Formula and because of that Firebirds and Formulas share the same type VIN numbers and there is no way to tell if a car is a Formula by the VIN if it's a TBI car.
I'm not interested in the car but I would think any honest seller would want to be corrected if they were advertising their car as something it may not be.

Correct.
Post a pic of the RPO codes, 84pontiac. Thats the only way to be sure of what it is, or you can continue to be ignorant.
OK mr 2 posts, you just have no CLUE who you are dealing with here, do you? This is not a forum of idiots, and Denny has taken apart more third gens than you have seen in your entire life.
The scary thing is, that could actually be true!!!
