Can You ID This Firebird by the VIN?
I found a car for sale but don't know the RPO codes.
The owner claims it is a WS6 Firebird. The VIN is
1G2FS21F4KL242766
Can you tell from the VIN if it is a TA or Formula? I'm a Camaro guy. I don't know anythinkg about firebirds but it looks like this car might be a good deal.
Thanks.

If I am reading the VIN correctly, it looks like a 1989 Formula. The S indicates Firebird but the engine code is F, which was the tuned port injected version of the 305 which was not available on the base model Firebird, but was available on the Formula. So from what I see, it looks like a 1989 Formula.
