Re: 3rd Gen Formula Colors?

Far as breaking down numbers on such a combo--no such data is currently available. We don't even know how many 350 cars were made--let alone adding T-tops and a colour. Sorry

Re: 3rd Gen Formula Colors?

MOST colors were available, I am not sure about ALL of them. The information is not clear honestly on my web site.

The Brown Metallic for example I do not believe was available in 1987 on the Formula, but the Yellow for 1987 & 1988 were Formula only colors.

What specifically are you looking for?

As for your last question... I have heard a rumor of 1030 Formula 350's with T-tops in 1989. Consequently there were also 42 Formula 350 ASC Convertibles made from those T-top cars. 1989 for the most part was the only year (except for 1991 & 1992) that you could have gotten T-tops and a 350 on the Firebird. There were some cars that were exported, to Canada for example that got T-tops with the 350 and T-tops in 1987 & 1988, but none to the Us to the best of my knowledge.

Re: 3rd Gen Formula Colors?

Thanks.....Thats exactly what I was looking for.

I was trying to back my way into the last part of that last answer.

I am searching for a particular 3rd gen. It will be a blue 87or89 Iroc 350 T-Top car

or a Formula ...I was hoping for Bright Blue, 350 & T-tops....looks like based on the above that will be a very rare dog if its a formula!! Yikes.

I guess 305 should be no problem if I dont find the Iroc and I go with the formula. Or I open up the search to other colors. Black, red seem much more common.

But the info is greatly appreciated thats what i needed to know.

Thanks

Mines red . Not exactly rare but I doubt I'll own any other third gens besides formy's after buying this one. I was aso thinking of taking that decals off but decided Im just going to leave the "350" part off when I paint it.
