Re: Who can identify this Firebird ??
I THINK this one could be an 89 Formula 350 with RPO R8Z (which basically added GFX to the Formula) records show they made 5 Formulas in 89 with RPO R8Z - but this is just my therory
Anyone have info to support this ??

Remember seeing this at one of the Thanksgiving Day parades years ago in my hometown of El Paso. I need to dig up those hardcopy pics.

Maybe.....they only had two of these so chances are good it may have been discuss in the past.

Didn't know you were from El Paso. I lived there from 86-92' and again from 97-01'. Miss the food. I had the 92' Trans Am Vert in Building T at the GM Nationals this past year in Carlise.

Very cool car. I've seen a few recent posts on it. Had never seen it before then.
