I owned a '81 Turbo Formula and the best information I could glean from PHS was that 10% of Trans Ams were Turbos in '80 & '81, and if you translate that 10% to the Formula production, there were most likely less than 1000 Turbo Formulas produced. Mine came off the assembly line on 5/21/81, possibly one of the last Turbo Formulas assembled at the Van Nuys Plant. It was special ordered Dark Metallic Brown from California, with no T-Tops and no Z50 appearance package (FOAMULA sticker on the bottom). It was a very rare car that I sold last summer for $4500 just to get rid of it - it ran, was solid, no rust or rot. I sold it to a collector/restorer in Northern Massachusetts. Keep your eye out for it - it also had the special order velour interior that never survived.
What else can I help you with?

How rare is the 89 Pontiac firebird ssa?
Depends on the model. I have a ssa with a t-top and the 3.8l engine which they made 187 of. If you have a stock turbo, a t-top or leather interior hang onto it! Fix it up and restore it to its former glory!

Will a Pontiac 400 cu inch fit in a 1971 carmaro?
Yes, you will need the Pontiac motor mounts, and the transmission for the Pontiac has a different bolt pattern than the chevy, so a Buick, Olds, Pontiac turbo 350 or 400 will be required if it is an automatic. If a manual transmission is used you will need the Pontiac specific flywheel and bellhousing. Pontiac also has the starter, battery, and fuel pump mounted on the opposite side from Chevy, so you will need to address these issues.Overall it is not that hard of a swap, the parts from a similar year Firebird all fit the Camaro, making it pretty much a bolt in.
Does a Pontiac super turbo 400 transmission have a Chevy bolt pattern?
