Post Non t-top Formula $'s

Were there any ls1's particulary Formula's made without t-tops, how rare/hard are they to get ?
What would a year 2000 auto Formula sell for ?
And how much will the price go down in 2-3 years.
I'm planning my next project,part of it is the usual right hand drive conversion that I have to do here. Thanks.

I could be wrong, but I think 2000 was the last year of the Formula without T-Tops.

there were Formulas built without T-tops and plenty of them. Its a standard RPO, CC1. Convertables are different story. Such as the 97 formula convertable only 41 made. Most people order the Formula hard top because they want less body roll.

There are plenty of them out there. I would guess $16-18K for a nice 2000 Formula. They will depreciate over the next 3 years.

And technically, the hardtop will get slightly more body roll. Let me explain before you crush my skill with a rock Herdtops offer less body flex (or twist relative to each end). Body roll is the rolling of the body on the suspension, assuming no flex. The reason a hardtop rill roll more than a ttop or 'vert is that the flex in the less stiff platform absorbs some of the energy that the suspension would have absorbed otherwise.
