Low production, rare combination 92 Firebird Formula (my estimate of 25 built like this), w/WS6 pkg. including rear disk, T-5 world class 5 speed, 305 TPI, T-Tops, Jamaica yellow w/black cloth interior.

Car has 156k miles, motor is not original, been upgraded to 350 TPI with 20k miles on stock rebuilt. Other mods – new paint 3 yrs ago (chrome yellow) 3” cowl hood (fiberglass-harwood), 92 front bumper replaced with 90 front bumper, rear end gears changed to 4.10’s short shifter, 2” lowering springs, high volume oil pump, 4th Gen Formula 350 decal kit, ARC steering wheel.

Has had recent battery, alternator, and O2 senor. Comes with new KYB shocks & struts, original steering wheel w/airbag, stock coil springs, total of 6 GTA wheels 2 rears and 4 fronts (mounted).

Needs - 3rd to 4th gear synchro is bad but slow easy shift produces no grinding, driver door hangs a bit but closes fine, A/C compressor leaks, could use a tune up, slow drain on battery.

I searched 4 years and went thru 3 T/A’s before finding this one. This is pretty much what I’ve always wanted but now I can’t afford it. I’ve got a 16 yr. old and my insurance just went sky high. Will sell or trade down for a 3rd Gen (82-84) so that I can get classic, antique car insurance (much cheaper).

I’m asking $5,600 or trade down, but I’ve got to walk away with trade and $2,000 minimum. Call 512 431 2476

I have a Red 88 Formula bone-stock 305 TBI daily driver in decent shape and a 48" plasma television in perfect shape for trade. Unfortunately no cash =( Nice ride. Send email to cking2k9@gmail.com if interested.

Funny, I just parked next to your twin tonight at Jack in the Box. Formula's in red are sweet but I need to find older for insurance purposes (classic car insurance is way cheaper than regular insurance). Thank You for the offer though.

This is a very nice car. I've seen it several times in person. If I had the cash it would be sitting in the driveway right next to my '91.

Albani

iTrader: (2)

Thanks for the compliment Eddy. Your ride is looking mighty sweet these days. Can't wait to see it in person.

To let everyone know - price is negotiable

Prickly

On the insurance note, Im sure to always use an Independent Insurance Agent, mine gets his insurance written by nationwide, so Im paying about $80 every six months with higher limits and collision on the old 88. Geico and Progressive will screw you on prices btw...

Great combo with the 1987-90 nose and yellow/black. I would really like to take this 'Bird off your hands, but I just don't have anymore space in the garage/driveway. Best of luck selling and I wish it was available about a year ago...

Albani

iTrader: (2)

Ironic - I purchased this car on Ebay one year ago. I hitched a ride to Fredricksburg Virginia, picked it up, and drove it 1500 miles back to central Texas.

Actually, I would love to hear feedback from any members up in Virginia that may know this car. Whoever put this together did a great job.

What happened to the factory front end? (hood, nose, etc)

Albani

iTrader: (2)

The previous owner did not like the factory banshee type front end and went with a 3" cowl fiberglass hood to make the car lighter. I don't see any signs of previous front end collision, so I buy his story. The original front end and hood, I don't have and are long gone.

Just a quick point of order, that isn't Jamaica yellow. Its way too bright. Jamaica yellow is more pale. Still a nice looking car though. Too bad its missing the correct front end as it would really look nice.

Albani

iTrader: (2)

You are correct. The color is Ford chrome yellow. A much brighter yellow that looks 100% better. The fact remains that this is a true Jamaica yellow Formula. It still has original color in engine bay and door jambs. There are claims that only 47 Jamaica yellow Formulas were built. I'm thinking that Ws6, T-5, TPI, T-tops, and black interior makes this car one of maybe three or four. I personally hate Jamaica yellow but am happy to own one because they are rare. I am also very happy that the previous owner changed the color. As far as the front bumper, I wish it was the original . I like the banshee look.

Question: Why does this car have a non-91-92 nose?

To me, when I see a 3rd gen bird advertised as a '91 or '92 I expect to see the Banshee nose. This is clearly not that so I question your claims of rarity. It's a highly modded third gen as far as I am concerned and with the data you've presented.

Lastly, I'm not calling this a bad car by any means. Just not what I expect to see when you say "92 Formy".

Albani

iTrader: (2)

I answered that same question on 6/21/09 on this post.
It was changed by previous owner because he didn't like the banshee nose. This is a true 92 Jamaica yellow Formula. I had added the RPO codes to prove it but somehow it got removed so I'll attach it again.

Cadillac

Gotcha... I obviously missed that post.

Good luck!

Albani

Last price drop...$4200 or I'm keeping her!!!

danziger

Honestly, I would keep your Formy vice giving it away. I never see decent 3rdGen 'Birds on the road anymore and think you'll regret giving her away for cheap...

Albani

iTrader: (2)

If I do end up selling my Formula, I will definetly regret it.
With todays economy, I'll probably keep her.

firebird310

WHATS UP, CAR LOOKS GREAT, NOT TRYING TO NIT PICK, BUT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE THE REAR WHEELS ON THE FRONT AND SO ON. DO THE FRONT TIRES RUB WHEN TURNING?

Albani

iTrader: (2)

Nope.... I got fronts on the front and fronts on the rear... that's the absolute best look.... and nothing rubs. Car also comes with 2 rears as well. When I bought the car, it had fronts on rear and rears on front and it did rub but it didn't stay like that for long.

Albani

iTrader: (2)

The Good...
Some parts that come with car will be on the car this week-end.
Installing shocks, struts, and factory coil springs.

The Bad...
My bud who is helping me is getting the 2" lowering springs.

In other words...
If you like a lowered, bad-*** looking Firebird, better buy it before this week-end.

This Formula is sick. Just keep it bro, you wont regret it. I really like it.

Thank You very much. I can't help starring at her every time I go into the garage. Driving her always puts a big grin on my face. It's the better half thats been pushing me hard to sell. Thank godness for the bad economy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can manage somehow to keep her. Wish me luck.

I live in dallas but am coming down to Austin the last weekend of September. Hope you still have it because I am very interested. I will be there for four days so i would like to go ahead and schedule a time to see it.

BTW, do you have ANY paperwork on that engine swap?

Albani

iTrader: (2)

Sounds good, looking forward to showing her off. Just call me for location and time (512 431 2476). I never stray far from home so I should be here.

I have no paperwork for the motor rebuild, but the motor is tight, clean, and no leaks whatsoever.

captbarbosa

Why are all the NICE ones seemingly a million miles away?
And I don't have the time to do more than wish. Nice car...yep, you'll regret selling it. Best of luck to you.

Can't help but wonder, if your're like me, exactly which her is it that you wish you could manage to keep. LOL

The price ain't coming down and she's been for sale for a while now so....

Please realize how RARE this car is. And how often do you see an L98 & T-5 combo?

Anyways, I'm getting real close to selling my daily driver, yanking the Formula off the market, and making it my daily driver. So please don't let this one get away, it may not be available much longer.

Lampropeltis

So I am coming down to Austin on Thursday evening of this week (Sept 24th) and will be there through the ensuing Monday. Friday, Sat, Sun, or Mon will be good for me to come check it out. When is a good time for you and can you PM me your phone # so we can coordinate this?
