There's not really any blue in it, it's definitely purple. The car in your signature picture appears to be Navy Blue Metallic.

The purple color from '98 looks like this.. paint RPO code is 88U.

'Fraid I haven't seen any details on those 14.

Breakdown of the 129 Camaro 1LEs in 1998: http://www.1le.net/docs/1998_camaro_...n_numbers.html

Camaro 1LE:

10U White - 17
11U Pewter - 30
13U Silver - 9
28U Navy - 8
31U Bright Green - 1
41U Black - 31
63U Gold - 3
79U Teal - 5
81U Red - 18
88U B. Purple - 0
96U Ceyenne - 7

If the percentages are similar for the Formulas, that would be 7% silver out of 14, which is about 1. So if they're similar, yours may well be the only silver one.

Pontiac Historic Services is probably your only chance of finding out for sure. http://www.phs-online.com


Well, there's only 14 of them... I found five (yours makes 6), narrows it down some...

I have a white 98 Formula that is a hardtop A4. 556 hardtops, even less A4 white with 2.73 gears. 270 white formulas.

[drohm6]

anyone know how to get color and actual option break downs? i have a 2001 black on black on black, ws6, ram air, hurst 6 speed and i have never seen one like it (same year) i would like to know how many are actualy out there like mine. only place i found that gives breakdown of it says 1 of 6,, and that is just to good to be true. and would like another to back it up.

[bdr_ws6]

I'd like to see a breakdown of the WS.6 packages for every year, like how many where 6 speed, t-tops, a certain color, ETC.

According the the 1997, only 14% of all 'Birds had the M6, thats me. only 2827 WS.6s made, again me. I'd like to know how many where black though.

[miamifan3413]

this is a great thread idea......I wonder how rare mine is?? How can u know for sure??

drohm6 and bdr_ws6 -

For any information not in the links I posted (which unfortunately there are a lot of gaps, particularly in color stats), can do rough general estimate calculations, but there's no way to get actual numbers for anything not there, except what you might be able to get from Pontiac Historical Services.


miamifan3413 -

98 is one of the years fortunate to have more numbers available than most (particularly the color stats)...

2123 total Formula coupes

651 Formula coupes with M6 (30.7% of total Formula coupes)

556 hardtop Formula coupes (2123 - 1567 with t-tops = 556) (26.2% of total Formula coupes)

397 Formula coupes with red exterior (18.7% of total Formula coupes)

so, estimate of how many in that combination: 2123 x 30.7% x 26.2% x 18.7% = approximately 32 cars

What all can you get from there for the newer cars like ours? I thought about getting the package but didn't know if it would be worth it.

Gonna bump this one up 'cause i just noticed something.

ACW - those last three cars you listed are all the same car. I think. I read through the threads you posted and it looks like 99SSinOC bought the ebay car, and MW2 performance bought it from 99SSinOC.

I may have a lead on a black '98 1LE here in KC. If i find anything out i'll post up.
