Firebird Production Number, Color Breakouts, Options, Etc.....POST QUESTIONS HERE!
The 463 convert WS6s built were T/As, there were also 41 Formula WS6 'verts built in '97.
Total '97 T/A Verts: 1390 (including the 463 WS6 T/As)
A4: 1127
- 2.73 axle: 328
- 3.23 axle: 799
Chrome wheels: 1028
Keyless Entry: 1390
Black: 393*
Taupe Top: 300
Taupe Leather: 295**
Caviats:
* = The numbers in the body color breakdown I have totals up to 1385 (5 cars are missing, don't know what those colors would be)
** = The numbers in the interior breakdown I have totals up to 1236 (154 cars are missing, don't know what those interiors would be)
For example, the '98 and '99 Camaro interiors are identical, but they changed over from a a dark gray to a black (ebony) in either '00 or '01, so the seats won't match between those years. Did the Firebird change colors and/or fabric designs as well? What year(s) cloth seats will match the '00 cloth interior?
I checked the FAQ's and couldn't find the breakdown I was looking for.
Thanks!
I have a 2001 T/A Firehawk #251 of 717 i believe.
My question was, IS ther another way to pull up what SLP put onto the car, Because The sticker on the car, is pretty much unreadable..and i wanna see what they put into her..
Any help is apprecatied
I do remember black leather becoming available (and may have replaced pewter leather) in the T/As in 2000, but I'm not sure if black cloth was also available (and possibly replaced pewter cloth) on the Firebirds/Formulas.
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time
'96 & '97 = Metrix cloth, Graphite color
'98 & '99 = Metrix cloth, Dark Gray color
'00 & '01 = Cartagena cloth, Ebony color
I found that info here: Original Pontiac Firebird and Trans Am 1967-2002: The Restorer's Guide By Jim Schild
However, I've found a set of seat covers for a '97 and they LOOK like they will match the '00 (trying to compare a pic from a seller with what I've got here), so my question is, did GM just change the names and NOT the actual product, or IS there a difference between '97 and '00 Fiebird cloth interior colors/fabrics?

FWIW, the first '98 WS6 was converted at ASC on 2/18/98. Although there may have been a '97 mule w/ '98 body parts running around before that.
