Ha yeah, super rare, it was the only one that was EVER assembled by hand at the factory. Says so on the title!

Seriously though, TONS of states abbreviate model names on titles...I think the one on my '02 reads "Formula/TRAM" (Formula/Trans Am).

In this case, I can almost assure you that the "FAM" is simply an abbreviation of Firebird/Trans Am.

Re: Factory assembled model

Ugly striping though.
VIN lists it as a 1982 TA with LG4.

Haha, that it is! It's fitting of the early 80s for sure! It would still be so much better without it though.
