Last week in Denver I saw a 91-92 Formula 350 w/T-tops that was yellow and it looked factory. it was pretty sweet and I don't think I've ever seen any others like it on the net or in person just thought I would share with everyone.

 

Sweet! If it was Yellow it was a 1992.

 

According to Jim Mattison of PHS, only twenty three (23) Firebirds were painted that color in 1992. That incudes all models: Firebird, Formula, Trans Am, and GTA. So if that car is original, it is extremely rare. Probably one of 10 or less. Two of those 23 were convertible Trans Am's. Pic below of one of them. Sorry for the corrupt line

 

I would love to get a '92 Formula hard top if any were made. Andy

 

nice find!! i like yellow..

 

92 yellow hardtop Formula? Yeah they did make them. They made at least one, as part of the 23 total for that year. It was at the Trans am Nationals in Ohio. It was brought by PHS and it was VIN #000001; the first 1992 Firebird ever made. It had crazy low miles. I got a few half pics of it when photographing the Hurst Hauler next to it. I know other people got better pics.. maybe they'll post here.

 

Kizz, oh please post those pics!!! I would love to see one, I saw a t-top yellow here in Miami many years ago, it wasn't taken care of that good, but I hate t-top cars, they look ugly and the interior is like an umbrella when up! andy

 

Ok well I said they were bad, and you can see they are BAD because I was actually photographing the red car not the yellow one. I know for a fact that other people on this board got better pics so I hope they post them.

I cropped both Formula pics into one.. here it is. Next to it is the only TTA with a 6-speed.

 

they only made 23 yellow firebirds in 92!!!

Theirs a factory yellow 92 firebird in a junkyard, near hear, it's picked pretty clean though, I'll get some pics next time I'm out there.

 

Wow I had no Idea they were that rare I'm gonna keep an eye out for it again and track the owner down maybe he is looking for the right opertunity to sell it, it was a little rough around the edges but sure would be sweet to have. I'll keep you all posted

 

Just passing along what I heard first-hand from Jim Mattison, who I tend to trust. he said there were 23 total made in 1992. In the past I have seen dozens of people on here who say they have a yellow 92 firebird. As cars get older, a lot of people paint their cars different colors, so the RPO stickers would reveal if the Denver one or the junked one are real or not. If they are real, they would be worth looking into for those who seek out rare cars.

 

I am also a fan of factory yellow Birds'.

I also saw the car Kizz mentioned. Infact I do have some pics of it, but no scanner, sorry.

I have also seen a 1992 Firebird w/ the sport appearance package a few times at school. The car was pretty clean actually. Everything appeared to be legit with the car too.

 

Thanks for the pics, it is still great to see a Formula ( '91-'92 ) in Yellow and hard top. I know about guys repainting and cheap jobs, but still never saw a real one hard top down here.
TAdan can you please find a way to get those posts posted on here, I really would like to see them, again please try to find a way for us on here.
I love white and red Formulas as I have one of each, the red I just got, mint and 9K miles, still new from interior to exterior, all original. The white one I am getting back from shop this week, it is being sanded to the metal and repainted white from factory code, 2k for job, no cheap job on her. I will post when I get her back this week. Andy

 

The yellow firebird in the junkyard was a v6/ t top car. It was originally yellow, cause the whole interior was stripped, and everything was painted yellow, floors, behind dash, behind headliner, engine compartment, doors, everywhere. I doubt someone would spend that much time repainting a car especially a 92 v6 firebird. So that makes 22 now.

 

...hmmm...

...here is a pic from one of three 1992 (not 1991!!!) Firebirds (all V6, t-top, black interior, they all have original factory yellow) that I know and seen here in Germany....

...are they really rare????

...this is the car by a friend of mine:

 

A guy I know who shows up at our Pontiac club shows has a yellow 1LE.

 

Interesting... there's a Pontiac emblem right below the Firebird decal on the nose. Is that how they were badged in Europe? Never seen that before....

 

Great point, the emblem looks off centered, not like a factory addition.
In reference to all the plain and T.A. yellows, they dont count, only the Formula was the rare breed. Andy:lala:

 

the pontiac emblem isn't factory. the yellow rear view mirrors aren't either. the export vehicles came with these mirrors from the factory, but they were black.

 

About a week ago I spotted what appeared to be a yellow 91-92 Formula with black crosslace wheels and T tops. Is this legit?

 

i don't think formulas came with crosslace wheels from the factory

 

Yes they did come with crosslace wheels factory....

 

but they were optional?

 

Yeah they definitely had Crosslace wheels from the factory. Look at MDFormula350's car.......

 

...

...yes, the black diamond spoke aluminium wheels were available on Formulas...
...but only on 1992 Model...
...and some few 1991...??...hmm...seems so...


@ Cargasm:
...no, the Pontiac emblem on that Firebird isn`t factory...
...and this ugly mirrors are "Euro"-export and were painted from black to yellow ...for a "better" look ...

 

Please.... waiting for those hard top Yellow Formula pics still! Andy

 

yeller 1LE.....

 

another angle

 

Bill, I've seen that car before but I can't remember where. Some lady owned it. I think she was saying it's a one-of-a-kind as far as being 92 T/A, 1LE, and yellow! I can't remember, but that sounds right! They made a total of 9 1LE's in 92 and only 23 yellow firebirds, so this could be the only one with both options.

 

Actually that's the car I was talking about. the guy comes to our GTO club of Delaware meetings. He was at the Delaware Hooters this past summer at one of the weekly car shows.

 

Here is his web site:

http://www.1le.net/members/Leo_Montiel/index.html

His name is Leo Montiel....

 

That's weird, I seem to remember a woman talking about it. But yeah that's the site, I remember that too. We all need to have one of those stickers on our cars

 

How bad do you want one? I located one a couple of years ago using the GM part number and had it reproduced by a local place here in town when I had my SLP package decal reproduced I haven't installed it on my car though and I ended up using the real SLP package sticker anyway...

 

Hi Kizz!
That yellow Formula at the TA Nats last year, besides being car number 1, was also a 1LE car! I got some photos as well!

See ya around,

George

 

yeah as you can see my 91 has the black gta/trans am wheels..

you had to order the 350 with t-tops in order to get them..

 

Technically you had to order the 350 with the black crosslace wheels in order to get the T-Tops

 

good point

 

Guys. I'm sorry to say that this particular 92 TA was recently sold from Grossinger Autoplex, close to my house, to a guy that I've seen many times driving it in the salt. That was a very depressing sight to think that that car is one of two like that and he's driving it in salt. :sad

 

Dude, chase him down next time you see him and send me his info! I'll make him an offer

 

Hey if I get within 20 feet of that guy I will let him know just what I think, and I really don't think he'll be able to speak after that.

 

Classic story: Guy has a self image problem and is not happy with himself, so he decides that he needs to surround himself with fast macho machines to try and feel all cool and confident, then he accidentally runs into a rare car and unfortunately for the car he can afford it, he buys it, treats it like a daily driver hot rod, lets it fall apart, and the world has lost another rare machine. This happens every single day with thirdgens! I feel sorry for that yellow T/A. Are we ever going to see a yellow 92 in a car show 20 years from now? Hell no, they'll all be painted black or junked or made into 454's and stuff like that.. what a waste. People with big wallets and no common sense or respect are very dangerous. Happens EVERY day.

 

Mr Turbo TA can you please post those yellow Formula pics when you get the chance. Thanks. Andy

 

Here is a nice formula for you guys that you will love! LOOK AT THE PRICE MAN IF IT WAS NEAR ME! http://autotrader.com/findacar/vdeta...&car_year=1992 Oh and also do any of you know how many formulas were painted white with a black top and checkerd flag strip on it in 92? Or was I looking at a custom paint job?

 

AAAck! If that's a factory yellow, I'd almost be willing to swap my 'vert for it.......

 

I'd rather have a Yellow GTA still

That car is only a 305, it's got T-Tops and non-crosslace wheels...

 

I finally found the photo at the 2002 Trans Am Nationals web gallery! I tried to attach here but the size was too big in the photo, sorry everyone.
It tells a little about this 1LE Formula hard top in Jamaica "yellow" and looks really good and new. One thing though I noticed in photo which is weird, the side bumper rails are missing from car, looks funny to me even though looks mint. Andy

 

I was surfing around on: www.firebirdgallery.com and found pics of the "TransCamino" (The red Bird w/ the pickup bed and extra axle) Anyway, it mentions that the owner of the TransCamino also owns an impressive collection of rare birds...including a yellow and black 92 T/A convertible. Thought some of you would find that interesting.

 

In Tucson AZ this weekend I saw a 92 Yellow hardtop Formula at the Texaco on Broadway and Wilmot. I thought I was late for the breakfast we were having so I didn't stop. <---kicking himself

 

I just meet this guy that lives in my town with a 92 yellow formula with the 350 t-tops and the cross lace wheels. I've talked to him a couple of times and he bought it brand new in 92. Hes got 68k miles on it and its in perfect condition. All stock. Not even aftermarked exhaust. I'll see if I can get a pic of it.

 

There are two yellow '92 Firebirds here in the Atlanta area. Both are V6 t-top cars. The first one was seen at a used car lot and had about 130K miles on it. That was over a year ago, and I see the car about once a week driving back and forth to work.
The second one came into our Pontiac dealership for a heater core. It has black custom cloth interior and had 19K original miles!
Very nice clean car. Someone needs to start a registry on these cars.
