BREAKING NEWS – The 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula just released from the GM Heritage Collection has just sold for an outstanding $38,500.00!  The ‘bird sold as lot #11 today, Thursday, April 09, 2009 at the 7th Annual Barrett-Jackson West Palm Beach Collector Car Auction. 

While I cannot confirm that this pale yellow Firebird was a 1LE version, I can state that it featured the highly coveted WS6 performance suspension option, 1LE style brake calipers, no air conditioning and a 305cu tuned port injected small block with a 5spd manual transmission.  The car also appeared to have the engine oil cooling package.  The VIN of this car was 1G2FS23F0N1200001 confirming that this was in fact the very first 1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula produced.

Although strong money was spent to purchase this car, the buyer can rest assured that he/she has purchased one of the most historically significant 3rd Generation F-Bodies directly from GM!  This car was breath-taking in every way and presented as an outstanding, original, vehicle, as close to a brand new one as anyone has gotten in the nearly two decades since production of the third generation F-Bodies ceased.

For more information regarding my views on the up-ward trend of the 3rd and 4th Generation F-Bodies be sure to read my article   – “GM F-Bodies – 1982-2002 Can’t Miss Investments, Even in this Economy
