I bought another Formula 400 a while back. I had been looking for another car, (although I was not planned on buying another project), but when I stumbled on this one, I couldn't say no. You just don't find them like this too often anymore. The car was all together when I saw it, but it had a mid 70's 400 in it with a dead hole, so the car had been sitting for about four years.

I bought the car "as seen" in the pictures below. I then bought some additional parts from the seller, including a complete 1970 Firebird 400 engine (WT code) which date coded perfectly to the car. The engine had previously been rebuilt, although I don't know exactly how many miles its been since the rebuild. I also purchased a set of original (not repop RA exhaust manifolds, a correct 7040563 carb, a 70 Formula air cleaner, a set of 14 inch rally II wheels (generic codes) with like new radial t/a's, and a bunch of other parts needed to make the car as correct as possible. For now my plan is to get the engine swapped in so the car is running, then swap out the incorrect parts as I go.

The seller is a heavy duty mechanic and engine builder, and since he has a pretty well equipped shop at his house, as part of the deal I am doing the work at his place and he is helping. Therefore I have not brought the car home yet, although it is getting close.

Just like my last Formula, this was built in Norwood but sold new in the San Francisco bay area. Not my favorite color combo, (Palomino Copper with dark brown interior), but at least the car is well optioned.
