1992 Jamaica yellow Formula 1LE with a/c!

I found this in the July 1992 Muscle car review. It's a 92 jamaica yellow 1LE formula with a/c.

Supposedly the original owner still owns the car.

Word on the street - its one of the only, if not only 1LE to get AC installed that did not have B4C (police) and B4U (firehawk) options. B4C was not available for pontiacs.

Re: 1992 Jamaica yellow Formula 1LE with a/c!

Is there any chance that we can get a clearer shot of the window sticker? I'd like to see then name for the primary color. My JY sticker is a repro and it is just listed as yellow, I'd like to actually see it say JY.
Also, any chance on the sequence # for that car? It seems to be a later car judging by the black valve covers and the black TPI plate.
Thanks
Mark

Hey Alex, Leo's Yellow T/A does have AC but it was dealer installed, not factory like this yellow Formy.

Leo has the same AC system as my 91 1LE Formy (dealer installed when new b/c owner who ordered the car backed out and they couldn't sell the car to the public without AC.). The aftermarket units are not as "pretty" as the factory units IMO.

I tried to enlarge the window sticker in hopes we could see it better but as you can see, It's not any better.

Alex,
t_owner is right, to the general public it was a manual transmission, no A/C car in yellow, not very enticing except for us gear heads that will climb mountains to get one.

My thoughts exactly! I've actually had people ask me "why in the world" I would buy a car with no A/C (and in my case, no radio). "You're never going to be able to re-sell that."

To which I replied:

The numbers are an off-season project for me, so now that the show season in Chicago is winding down, I will be getting back into it.
