Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
Yesterday, I purchased this bad boy seen here. I flew in and drove 500 plus mile to get back home. I got such a sweet deal, I couldn't pass it up. It was everything the prior owner said it was, and more, I am very happy with the car.
All stock 91 Formula 350, dark green, light tan 62k original miles. It rides better than my 91 GTA I sold couple years back. I was going to mod the crap out of it, but it runs and handles so well I've decided to leave it mostly stock, except for a NX kit.
here are some photos the prior owner sent, I can post more if there is interest.

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
gorgeous car and an excellent find. truly beautiful.
Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
Thanks for all of the positive comments
I was wondering what that was, I thought it was something for the gas tank. Should I remove them? or does it matter.
to answer your other question, I got a good deal and the prior owner stated that also. He said he price it to sell fast, and it didnt take long.
ETA little history, I have all paperwork including prior owners. I am the forth owner.
First owner traded in his 88 Formula plus cash for this, dealer gave him 8k trade in value. Then the 1st owner traded straight across for a restored Chevelle. The last owner bought the car from this restorer of classic cars with low 30k on the clock, he owned it for the last five years and paid close to 10k for it. Recently he bought a 2006 GT mustang and decided to sell since it was just sitting at his shop.
The car has always been garage and only driven in nice weather. I guess I should leave it stock and enjoy as it is, what do you think?

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
thats what I was thinking. I just order a TDS wonderbar, and will order the
UMI LCA, adjustable Panhard, and Torque Arm on tuesday. That should take care of hooking up and aid handling.
Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
if you want something to mod, either mod this one or buy another one. i dont understand why people are scared to mod some cars...unless you are going to keep it for like 20 more years, it wont devalue the car THAT much. just my opinion though

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
If my car was that nice from the start i would have left it stock i hate it when guys mess up a perfect car.If you want to mod a car start with one that needs work not a pristine car like that,if you do mod it keep all the stock parts you never know what a car like yours will be worth someday

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
I MUST know the paint code. Dark green is my favorite color and that is just beautiful. I could stare at it for hours.
Also, are those the plates that came with the car when you bought it or are you from Oregon. If so, where? If you are local enough maybe I'll see it sometime. I figured since you drove 500 miles with it you probably went out of state.

I'll check on the paint code but I'm sure someone knows it off hand. The car was near medford Or, it now resides in eastern Wa...

That's probably the single most awesome Formula I've seen on the site.

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
i love that color combo. i never really liked 91-92 pontiacs but that one does look good. I really want a 4th gen TA with tan/black interior and green outside. your car looks good man. good find!
mod the crap out of it. that L98 will go 12's with simple bolt ons

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
Geeez maann, and i thought my car was decently clean til i saw yours. And everyone is right that could be the meanest looking stock formula on the site. If you reall wanna mod it just put a SLP kit on it. Im pretty sure all the parts are still available and you could get those parts dealer installed at the time soo..... do a burnout in it or something lol (then show us!!)

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
Probably the only thing I'd do to it is window tint and an SLP air box.
I am humbled
there are so many nice 3rd gens on this site I'm floored many of you would consider my car worthy.
I plan to keep the car mostly stock, here are the mods planned. and if anything is removed I will keep the stock parts
NX nitrous kit 75 hp jets
port plemum, air foil, bypass TB, MAT relocated, cool ram air kit I'm designing with K&N filter (looks stock).
3 1/2 Alum drive line, current one is steel.
UMI Tubular Lower Control Arms & Panhard Bar
Nittos drag radials

Re: Ok I got it, 1991 Formula L98
you should see it now, multi coats of zaino, replaced the front air dam and removed mud flaps. Car really pops, maybe I will post new pixs if there an interest...
Thus far it I have left it all stock, it run, drives, and handles soooo sweet. Plus I think it adds value by leaving it stock. I'll let the next guy mod it if he so desires
