Default 70 L74/M21 blue car making it's rounds!

This car, formerly owned by a member here is sure making it's rounds!

1970 Formula 400 Bermuda Blue L74/M21
(screen shot of the listing is below incase the url goes dead.)

Before I made this thread, I searched and couldn't find any of the prior threads mentioning it;
I was sure it was mentioned last year when it went to Volo;
Well it looks like another dealer has it now.

I sure wish it would find a good home, and be enjoyed a little.



I cannot recall what the asking price at Volo was for it, so I have no idea if it's going for more this time around...

I saw the second thread, and thought it might be the same car, but since no pictures were attached, I brushed it off...
I know it was discussed last year somewhere on these forums when it went to Volo.

Super cool car - with all the right options in my book!

This is one of the coolest optioned Formulas of all time.
But it does need an exhaust adjustment -- the pipes are hard up against the trans cross member, which has to make for an unpleasant driving experience.

I noticed this last month when the car was listed on eBay and I was scrolling through the images... and happened to be right in the middle of installing the very same Pypes exhaust system on my TA. If you watch the most popular YouTube installation video and do what the video says, this is what you get. Because they tell you to trim the X-pipe from the wrong end. Fortunately I hadn't made any cuts in mine yet, so was able to piece it together with proper clearances.
