Default I remember this Formy when I was a kid
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/3513073444.html

I used to see it ALL the time when I was a kid. Pretty lady driving it around town. Always said to myself I wanted it. Now here it is...no question it's the same car.
What do you guys think? (besides the obvious errors in the add)

Small world. After all these years I'm curious if he got it from that same (now old) lady or perhaps a son or daughter(?)

Nice Formula, I can see why it sold so fast. Any idea how much it went for?

All kidding aside. Fastassbird is the car restored or just well taken care of? When you get a chance would you mind posting a few pics? That is one nice Formy you have!! I'm sooooo jealous.
Thanks.

Charles, that car is an original IMO. I'll just bet it hasn't even had a full repaint (just a feeling I have). I did see the car within the past 7 or 8 years when I was in town like time never passed. I was admiring that thing when I was in back seat of mom's Pinto wagon going to baseball practice. Same damn car!

Looks like a genuine RamAir induction Formula by the hood scoop screens.

Would say its probably had at least 1 quality repaint , just because the nose and hood look too good.

Front valance has been changed/replaced with metal unit.
Amber turn sigs still intact though.

But they forgot the tail feathers
ol bobtail bird

Heck of a Nice Car !
Congrats to new owner
