92 Jamaican yellow cars

Does anyone here know how many were made in 92? of all the firebirds/formy's/TA/GTA? I looked around and found anything from 47 to a few hundred.

The question came up and im curious
Does anybody have the real numbers?

I'm curious where you got these numbers from. We have had many discussions on the board about that and have come to the conclusion that no one really knows the exact amount.

Re: 92 Jamaican yellow cars

And according to PHs there were 26 Formulas ( I am not sure if they were Just Formulas or Firebirds AND Formulas... i suspect only 26 formulas, because I know of way to many of them to be both Firebirds and Formulas...

There's a magazine article that says there were 47 yellow formulas. Found the article since our last JY discussion.

Re: 92 Jamaican yellow cars

I know of a JY LB9/M5 for sale, according to the latest owner it is in nice shape but has 200K on it: There was also a LB9/A4 for sale in Port Huron, MI. That car only had 6?K or so on it but it was rusted and repainted.

Re: 92 Jamaican yellow cars

Guys, it's a little bit cruel to start a JY Firebird thread and not post some pix of these magnificent cars!

Now come on, let's see some pix of your Jamaican Yellow muscle!

Re: 92 Jamaican yellow cars

If I had the money and didn't have to sell her, I would definetly put the correct bashee front end back on. The Formula is no longer Jamaica yellow. It has been repainted Ford chrome yellow (same as the new mustangs). I don't like yellow cars and I especially don't like the Jamaica yellow. What I had been looking for when I found her was a third gen bird that had TPI, 5-speed, WS6, T-tops, and black interior. That combo is hard to find, so I bought it regardless of the color. If I could afford to keep her, I would paint her black. So even though the color is not original, the fact remains that this is a Jamaica yellow Formula and extremely rare.
