Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
Thanks for the information LiquidBlue. Worst case scenario I'll get a total trainwreck of a Bird and just have the paint and interior redone.
I planned on spending around $15-20K anyway for one in decent condition. If I can get one that needs a little TLC, a quality paint job and interior will cost me about $15k total.

My old 1990 5spd is still available 2 years later from the guy I sold it to out on Long Island for $10,200. He had some paint work done and installed the headliner that I had for it and being I sold it for $8250 he must be at cost on it now or even less. Very good condition car for the money!

Picture from when I dropped it off out there 11/21/16.

Nice ride. The silver on the bottom, is that paint or vinyl/tape/pinstriping? I never knew, and I do prefer the all blue.
Once again, nice ride, great price.

Silver is paint. Red is decal. It’s awesome combo that brings out race bred heritage of the car

Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
Personally I like them both ways. Kind of like my Yellow Formula, it had the stripe... When I repainted it I removed the stripe... Looking at it now, I am thinking of putting it back on...

Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
Here is a question...has anyone ever seen a maui blue formula with the tan/beachwood interior? I am not sure I’ve seen anyone do that interior swap. I was just interested in what it would look like with our color of car.

Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
In 1990, only black or med grey. two tone Maui-Blue/Silver units only grey.
in 1991, 5 units came with Camel, 23 blk, 244 in grey
no data on prior years

Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
That what I figured that they only came with greys. I am a little surprised tho that nobody has swapped in a tan interior into a maui/med metallic blue car. I feel like that color combo might look good together. (Could be wrong tho). I just wanted to see if anyone had a photo of it.

Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
To be technically correct, I dont believe there was ever a medium "Maui Blue" color offered on a Firebird.
Someone correct me if I am wrong here, it was never called "Maui" blue by Pontiac

Re: Post your Medium Maui Blue Formula
We had some unseasonably cool weather the past week, so I took advantage and finally did a Griot's polish and wax. I think it's about as good as I can get it, short of wet sanding out any remaining scratches or imperfections. I don't think it looks too bad for 30-year-old paint.
