3500-3,600 seems a lil high for a Formula. I'd say most weigh in between 3300-3,400 with a full tank of gas.

mine had maybe a 1/4 tank if I was lucky. I weighed it at the track. Mine has all options, even power antenna.

Re: How much does a 1987 firebird formula weigh?
the formulas were slightly lighter at around 3350-3450lbs but the cow of the 3rd-gen fbody is the GTA, not uncommon for those things to weigh 3600-3800 sometimes without driver!

Re: How much does a 1987 firebird formula weigh?
My 89 formula with glass t-tops, t-5, tpi 355 roll up windows, manual door locks, ac. with msd ingnition, kenny brown subframe connectors, and hotchkiss lca,s and panhard rod weighed in at exactly 3320 with race weight in gas which was below a 1/4. I have since put aluminum heads and water pump(which by the way do not drop as much weight as everyone thinks) So i am just about 3300 even.
