I purchased this '92 Formula in October and gave it to my fiance as an early Christmas gift. It's a fairly rare car, as it has the 350 TPI motor as well as T-tops, a combination that could only be ordered on a Formula that year (no other F-bodies). There were just over 1,000 Formulas produced in '92, and I can only assume that many had 305s, so having a 350 feels pretty cool. This car is pretty clean and unmolested, although it does have a cheaper paint job. But, it runs, drives, and looks great, and has made me a huge thirdgen 'Bird fan.

The only mods I have done so far is to remove the stock cassette player and install an Alpine receiver, as well as installing a 4th gen manual console. I also swapped over to a 4th gen power mirror switch, and a pair of Ford Contour window switches, mounted on a plate in the ashtray area of the console (the lid of the ashtray still closes).

The console is much nicer than the stock piece, and fits quite well, though not perfectly. If anyone else is trying to do the swap, I can show you some pics of the areas on mine that had the be trimmed for proper fitment.

The window switches have LEDs, making them easy to see at night, as seen above

Ok, I am wicked psyched right now. I'm putting a deposit on a '92 TA WS6 350 that has been converted to a T56 6-speed. Thanks to the marvelous world of the interent, I have been able to track down a few previous owners of the car, talking about it in various old posts on automotive forums. Seems like the car has had a rough life in recent years, and although it is a big financial stretch to buy another car, I just had to have it. These cars are rare, destined to get even more so, and the car looks killer and is decently fast. Here's a pic of it parked next to my Formula the day I went down to look at it.
