I maybe wrong and they guy may have had the formula fixed with regular fire bird parts but, people who call a reg. firebird a formula strike me as really stupid. may be a few here should e-mail him and call him out on this ripoff

 

That would be a Firebird with the LO3 V8... not a formula(just ran a VIN check) So if you really wish to e-mail him go for it.

 

Guys, The formulas came with the LO3 actually more came with the LO3 than the LB9. Of all V8 Firebireds Like 70% were LO3 18% were LB9 and 12% Were L98. I may be a bit off on the % but I a know that I am close.

You need RPO Codes to see if it is really a formula.

I know Mine is a Formula and has a LO3, (or did have he he )
My vin comes up as firebird v8 LO3,
The rpo code W66 is how you tell it is a formula!

 

yeah i hear ya there. People who say they have a formula and isnt really.....well im lost for words. I got a quik ? though.....ive owned a formula now for about 5 years...and know quite a bit about them...however......did from 87-92 did they ever make a formula with the straight spoiler in the back instead of the aero wrap around or the 91-92 style? I saw a formula the other day....had all the right markings.......even the deep dish wheels.....but had that style spoiler on it...kinda made me a lil confused. Any help???

 

Maybe he just likes the firebird spoiler better... they are a lot cheaper aftermarket to buy than 85-90 or 91-92 aerowings... so maybe he didnt have the financial to replace a rotted urethane spoiler? who knows. could be a lot of things.

 

I E-Mailed him and very politely asked him if it ever had any body work due to all those things in the pic. I didn't call him a lier but, pointed out the non formula things and asking what had happened, may be he will reply

 

It has T-Tops...where??? Do u see any??

 

oops forgot the pic

 

certainly doesnt look like my formula

 

Hopefully he will reply... doesnt really bother me all that much but just say that you have a V8 Firebird if you have a V8 Firebird... dont give false information and try to squeeze a little extra $$ out of something that isnt valid... idk... i guess we'll see

 

If you look closely, you can see that he painted the t-top trim white, and the reflection on the t-tops is making the glass look white....

 

Oh, I emailed him and DID call him a liar

 

he e-mailed me back, he said it is not a formula.

 

its obviously not a formula.... look at the hood, spoiler, rims, and the formulas didnt have those gfx on the doors.
