Yes, it's true! Pontiac built a few 1LE showroom stock race cars with the CC1 t-top option!

This particular car was ordered three times before it was accepted into the system and once it was the original owner added everything he could to it! I am the third owner of this car with the original owner keeping it up until just a couple of years ago first in Wyoming and then Florida where he retired. Not having A/C he was no longer using it and sold it to the second owner who started with the interior restoration on the car - I purchased it earlier this year and completed the restoration on it.

Pontiac 1LE production is very low with only 172 units total being produced. The breakdown is as follows:

1988 - 3 Trans Am's
1989 - 26 Trans Am's
1990 - 4 Trans Am's
1991 - 46 Formulas, 62 Trans Am's
1992 - 22 Formulas, 9 Trans Am's

Of the 46 Formulas built in 1991, 9 of those were used for Firehawk production, 27 were 5 speeds like this one and 8 of them were built with t-tops! <span style="font-weight: bold">NONE</span> of the camaro 1LE cars produced were ever built with <span style="font-weight: bold">T-TOPS</span>!

This car is <span style="font-weight: bold">LOADED</span>! Although the 1LE cars were traditionally low option &quot;strippers&quot; for showroom stock, this car comes with Power windows, locks, and mirrors, cruise, tilt, the upgraded stereo, rear defroster, 4 way adjustable driver's seat and the T-Tops. It also includes all of the 1LE performance options which include the oversized Borg Warner Corvette calipers on the Caprice rotors &amp; bearings, specific spindles, shocks/struts, the World Class MK6 T-5 with specific gearing, the JG1 Aluminum Drive Shaft, N10 dual high flow cat exhaust, N64 aluminum spare tire, G92 3:45 performance rear gears and a whole lot more. It comes with excellent documentation with boxes &amp; binders of receipts, is completely numbers matching and a blast to drive.

Third gen cars are now being recognized and are appearing on every published list of the cars to watch. This is a very unique opportunity to purchase a truly rare, factory oddity before the market hits.Offered at $32,500, interesting trades considered. Contact me via e-mail at [email protected]

Love the Knafel sign on the garage good luck with the sale.

The 1LE's are really special cars.

Thanks, the sign is actually a cleverly aged replica - the cars are originals. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif White one in the middle is my 91 1LE Z28 one of very few built with a leather interior.

Forgot to include the factory invoice on the Formula yesterday - here it is.

There are two additional cars that have surfaced of the 8 - one in similar condition to this one but with a salvage title, the other completely apart and missing it's original drive line.

Make offer, trying to sell before winter comes.
