He calls it a Trans Am, but it looks more like a Formula to me...

Re: 1989 Formula 350 on LA Craigslist

Fair price since its been modded.
Doesnt say how many miles on it.
Since its a repaint hard to tell what it is.
Wonder how hacked up the interior is due to the roll bar.

Re: 1989 Formula 350 on LA Craigslist

The VIN came back as a Trans AM.

It is one of the now 141 GTA or Trans Am 350 verts. I had a mistake in my list as there is a page that is barely legible. I found the error and corrected it.

Re: 1989 Formula 350 on LA Craigslist

It is a great price for a 350 GTA VERT!, Granted it appears to be missing most of the Ground FX.

Re: 1989 Formula 350 on LA Craigslist

Actually they also put the rear bumper from the 84

it honestly looks better than I thought it would. They cleaned up the fender cap which looks nice. I am not a fan of the roll bar, Granted there is more purpose to a roll bar in a vert than a hard top.
