....

1,017 total produced for that year... still not a very common find but per the engine code i guess it wasnt really any thing all that special, with a little bit of werk the v6 i have could put out about that much HP... also according to the engine code its not really a fomula its an RS which means carfax has go there data all mixed up... also the vin decoder states that the production sequence is 219059 can anyone tell me what that means???

If its a Formula 350, he could be right, judging by Ninetails numbers.

the engine code puts this car at an LO3 V8, the 92' formula came with either a LB9 V8 or an L98 V8, the tech data helped me quite a bit thank you
