My new 1992 Firebird Formula

Well its a L03 engine. And i got it for 2700$ and it has only 38,000 miles on it. It was owned by an old man since 1995 and he passed away, so his son sold it to me.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

Hate to inform you but that car is not a Formula is just a Firebird. It still a nice car it is just not a Formula. Formula's had power bulge hoods, a different spoiler like what is on the Trans Am's and did not have GFX.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

Those are also the 15 inch rims, no? LO3 under the hood? No Powerbulge?

All signs point to base Bird but a beautiful car nonetheless. For 2700 bucks you did well. That LO3 will be one of the most reliable engines you'll ever own.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

It is a Firebird, the big ugly hoods give the Formula away. Also, I think the Firebirds look a lot better then Camaros. Pontiac has always looked better though. I know it only the front end. Good buy.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I guess its just a Firebird, but heck its got the V8.

Would that hood fit on my car? I really like the look of it. I want to just put that on and get it painted to match the body.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

Your car is my car's identical twin! And, no it is NOT a Formula. All 91-92 Firebird's are listed as Formula's if not a Trans Am..........sorry. But, you did get an awesome find, with the low miles and all. You can change/modify the car, as most people do, but I would leave it just as it is. Anyway, sweet car!!

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

When you see the price of a Formula hood you may change your mind. Very sharp car.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

Very nice car and a sick deal at that price.

In all honesty, I wouldn't deface that car with a cowl hood, especially one so big. I would try and find a Formula bulge hood....I personally always liked that look.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

My car is a base model Firebird, but I don't have the W68 Sport Appearance Package on mine (I perfer it without). One of the first modifications to my car appearance wise was the powerbuldge hood.



Might be something you'd want to look into.

Your car looks awesome btw!

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

It does look cool. But ive always kinda liked the look of the cowl. And thank you, your car looks good also. The things on the side of my car were optional? You mentioned the apperance package?

I've always been a fan of the powerbulge hood with the base spoiler.

Congrats on the nice ride! Love those 91-92 gfx.

Re: My new 1992 Firebird Formula

gfx = ground effects

The body moldings on the bottom of your doors, rocker panels, front, and rear bumpers. I like 'em

I used to have a 91 Firebird 3.1 with the same look. Mine was black.
