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. |

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. |

I guess its just a Firebird, but heck its got the V8. http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/in...ROD&ProdID=362
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. |

Car: 1992 Firebird Engine: 305 TBI Transmission: 700r4 | 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!!

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. |

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.
