Doesn't appear to have the formula hood. The VIN won't help you very much, unless the 8th digit is an "8" meaning 350 V8, but on this particular car it couldn't be that since it's a stick shift.
The more modified a car is, the harder it is to tell what it's supposed to be, and the less it's worth as an individual model. From that pic, it could've been anything, Firebird, Formula, T/A, GTA, all customized, so what's the diff..
I'm guessing it's a base Firebird

This is assuming the car is in good shape of course.

if you ask me, there's nothing special about that car. Unless you're going for that specific aftermarket look. It doesn't seem to have any distinction as a particular model, so it could've been pieced together from any model, GTA, T/A, Formula, base bird. I'd wait for something more original, unless you like this particular customized look, then go for it.
