1974 Formula Firebird
(base value / value with selected options)
Low retail: $6,350 / $7,619
Average retail: $11,900 / $14,280
High retail: $18,800 / $22,560
455-L75 = +15%
Honeycomb wheels = +5%

Others here in addition to myself have pointed out flaws with this car, but as nice as it is, it wouldn't (at least in my mind) be a "high retail" car - with some work it would - but not as it sits.

I don't know if you noticed this thread or the ones which preceeded it - the OP might be a good person to talk to;
IMHO the Formula 455 he bought was in better shape than this one;

He is asking $32500 Canadian. That is $24050 USD today. I did the math so we were all talking apples to apples. He did day make an offer. I will probably go view the car as it is a 2 hour drive 1 way to see it. Just need the weather to improve so that I can drive the car when I see it. Looks like we are at least a week away from that.

I have read the other thread thanks.
