I bought this bird for 900 dollars 1200 if you want to include the 300 extra I spent replacing fuel pump and some sensors and what not. My plan is to make this car a project I can work on and use as my DD. The interior is in solid condition just need a few things like the missing console lid but I will post with pics and info as I do this project. I am always interested in hearing suggestions and opinions.

 

Some Interior Pics

 

It doeesnt appear to be a formula, but a good project none the less. Its missing the 16s powerbulge hood and aero spoiler and suspension to be a formula. Either way enjoy, its always nice to have a solid starting point with a car.

 

idk comes formula that stuff could have been changed it does have a gta driver fender but i will check info

 

VIN does not specify whether or not the car is a Firebird or Formula. But the car does look like a good base for a project

 

I kinda have to disagree heres a link to a vinchecker tells you the trim and all maybe I should of specified firebird formula is the a difference between formula and firebird formula

Does it have rear disc brakes? What is the 8th digit of the vin 8,F,E ? ? ?

 

it is E

 

Factory 5.0L TBI (305 cid) car. There were some Formulas that came with that engine. But with the wheels and rear spoiler, it looks like its a Firebird not a Formula. Sorry!

Does it still have the sticker in the glove box?

 

IDK I will check but its raining out side dont wanna go out. I am thinking of hitting a few parts places and looking the formula parts but Idk yet still new. Either way i think I got a decent car for the money i spent. The car is awesome other then my heavy foot syndrome, dont wanna speeding ticket.

 

I do like the Formula hood and rear spoiler!

Good luck with it and like you said, it was a good deal!

 

I would have to agree that this looks like a nice project. Check mine out, it is basically finished other than maybe dropping in a 350...idk, I have had mine for a little over a year and it is looking sharp. I still have a long time to make it even better since i'm only 16 and have a ton more ideas about what to do with it. Anyway have fun with it.

 

Thanks I will post as I do stuff

 

This is a picture a friend painted for me of my 1991 Formula 350, the car was named "BLACK MAGIC".

 

thats bad ***

 

that car is a clone to mine, without the upgrades i have done to mine, it is indeed a formula

 

Thank you for confirming that. What kind of upgrades do you have I am trying to think of what I can do to mine

 

I disagree. You could have a 305 tbi motor in the formula as well as the base model firebird in 1991.

He does not have the correct hood spoiler wheels or decals saying it is a formula. I also don't see the passenger side dash emblem that says performance suspension denoting ws6 suspension which was standard on formulas.

Sorry it IS a cool car, BUT NOT a Formula. Just trying to clear things up.

 

whatever we can drop the formula thing my vin when checked in GM System comes up Firebird Formula It doesnt really matter all that matters its a 305 TBI as far as I am concerned please can we drop this I started this thread to talk about my project not to be flamed and the way things work here is the flaming can go on for weeks on the same damn subject but whatever your entitled to your opinion.

 

it will say "FBF" in the model column on your registration. you can look in my garage for some pics of my mods, just for FYI, my car does not have the performance suspension sticker either, mine is a formie, if you need more proof i will take a pic of the registration and insurance card, it is wrote on both specifically depicting the car as a formula. that being said mine is a 92 not a 91 but a doubt it makes a difference.

 

New Pics sorry havent posted in a while been busy but heres some updated pics.

 

Last one for now

 

coming along nicely, keep us posted

 

Hopefully in the next month or so I will be painting it I am still deciding on color but I am leaning towards black. Also I may get carpet from stockinteriors.com I can get new carpet for the entire interior for less than 300 dollars. Shipped.

Any Ideas for colors for paint guys?

 

can't go wrong with black,lol

 

Yeah Thats what i am thinking I am a huge fan of black always looks good. What black are you currently using your car has BA look to it just gleams.

 

hey bud, good show on picking up a nice 3rd. If money is of the essence here on your build, than shoot it black. Actually really, paint it whatever color you door jams are. you will save a lot of money. Suit yourself but just a little tip. But black or annodized blue would look pretty bad***

 

Yeah the original color was black, I am thinking that where I am gonna stay. Yeah I am painting it my self with my bro inlaw who knows how to do it of course. My dad thinks midnight blue would be bad ***.

that is her original color "8555" in ur pontiac paint book.

 

subscribing!

 

Anyone have a good way of cleaning rims? Mine have a couple years of dirt oil and grease built up on them.

 

Wow, looks sick bro. That is an incredibly bitchin' ride. What is the switch for by your center counsle?

 

Kill switch for the amp/subs system in the rear dont want a disturbing the peace ticket. So when a cop rolls by I kill em. I will be relocating it soon thinking about mounting it in the center console.
