1989 Firebird formula

I currently have what i thought was a 1989 Firebird with 305 tbi and 700r4 trans for sale. Not until recently when i ran the vin number when i realized that it was a 1989 firebird formula. The engine runs great never a problem with that i purchased the car from some kid in greenbay and he did the primer and looks like crap. I want to get rid of this car to finish my other car. Would like to get 1600 out of it. Thanks for looking Nick

Re: 1989 Firebird formula

Just so you know, the VIN number will not indicate if the car is a Firebird or a Formula so it could be a Firebird. A Formula is basically a Firebird with WS6 suspension. If the RPO does doesn't show WS6 it's a Firebird.

Re: 1989 Firebird formula

Well there is NO character in the VIN that will designate the car as a Formula and because of that Firebirds and Formulas share the same type VIN numbers and there is no way to tell if a car is a Formula by the VIN if it's a TBI car.

I'm not interested in the car but I would think any honest seller would want to be corrected if they were advertising their car as something it may not be.

Correct.

Post a pic of the RPO codes, 84pontiac. Thats the only way to be sure of what it is, or you can continue to be ignorant.
