Low mileage 1973 Formula
https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=871393
Well, I can finally say I own it, title in hand. I snapped a few exterior photos for insurance purposes after getting new tires (old ones were '06 and one '08), so I'll start there.

Mirror codes. Can't seem to find a lot of the photos. I'll keep looking.

Radio didn't work, burned up speaker. Check out the ash tray and underside...
And, of course, my obsession, the air cleaner (it's a 2 bbl.) but it came with an NOS Ram Air air cleaner assy. He was thinking of upgrading things since he purchased it new. I have some of his notes that were jotted down, but don't know when he did it.

SWEET!!! Awesome find! Love the D98. I have had 3 cars with that and don't know which combo was on them originally. I am sure you'll enjoy it!

I haven't seen rocker moldings like that before. Are they original to the car?

very cool.
Honestly, I'd leave it as a 2bbl... but that's just me.

He (or someone) already incorrectly opened up the snorkels on the hood, so I may be working on a 2 bbl based Ram Air air cleaner (I'll be using the repop unit I have, not the NOS). But it's tricky as the bases floor are different between the 2.
