My dad's 1995 Formula M6 Purple

[meissen]

Got it from a guy on Craigslist, but I did tell him to register on here because his son has a '94 Camaro.

Front license plate will definitely be coming off asap, might even do that in a few minutes while we yank the rims off. Just waiting for the garage to warm up so the snow will melt off of the rims.

There's definitely some sort of muffler on the car. It's not magnaflow and there's a flowmaster sticker on the rear windshield so I'm guessing he must have a flowmaster exhaust on there... but the tips have some other name engraved onto them. I haven't paid enough attention to it, yet.

Once we get the Jimmy back from Mike's (getting the 4wd vacuum canister fixed so the car will be 100% mechanically sound) we have to take the Jimmy and the rims back over to the guy's house.



Edit: Oh yeah, and I don't think the car is lowered. His rims are really big and wide (diameter) it seems like. We switched the two rear rims over to an extra set of ZR1s and the ZR1s look a lot smaller but yet the tire size on the rims we took off and the ZR1s are both 275/40/17?

that is 100% stock height just to clear that up.

very nice car, and outta nowhere! Nate is gonna be jealous.

I thought that they looked really wide. Tires do run different widths. Goodyears are known to be some of the widest, while nittos are known to be much smaller. All in all, GREAT looking car your dad got B.

Thanks guys, he's like a kid in a candy store. He doesn't know for sure if he wants to do black rims or chromes yet.

Correct

Congrats for your dad, and I vote Chrome rims. Whats interior like?

[meissen]

Interior is mint. Really clean.

[BP_Z28]

not a fan of purple fbodies at all really..but looks pretty clean.. I love those wheels though to bad they dont come with it

[meissen]

We didn't like the purple at first but it definitely grew on us. Especially the fact that only 396 Purple Formulas were made in 1995... we're still trying to figure out how many of those were M6s, though.

[BP_Z28]

Yea thats a nice fact to it.

Reminds me of when my dad bought his trans am a few years ago.. All geeked about it that he got that instead of the cobra he had his eye on.


Wouldnt camarosource have that info for you?

[BP_Z28]

what kind of wheels are those did you ever ask?

[meissen]

No clue - my parents just drove the rims back to the guy to give it back.

cool cool B, but why didnt you let your dad tell us about it. you stole his thunder, lol. the black wheels do look good on it and i dont usually like colored wheels. im unsure what chrome will do with the purple. good trade though!
