What was the first year for the 3rd Gen Formula? I have information that 1983 was the first year, other info that says 1987, but I have production numbers strait from Pontiac showing they were made all the way from 82.

Can you guys help clarify this for me????

How come then PHS has production numbers on Formula's from 82-92??? I'm not trying to start anything, just trying figure this out.....

 

 

OK!!!! I don't know why the hell I didn't notice that before! I just copied what I had onto the site without even really looking at it. It must be a type O that I mistakenly copied! Cool, now I understand, thanks guys!

 

 

From what I can tell PHS is off and Frankie's numbers are right. I myself have only ever found about 10 exported GTA's but when I email the owners about wether it was just imported there of if it was actaully "made" for export to there, I never hear from them again...
