I'll look for it.
For reasons that should be obvious, I don't follow that thread.

It appeared to be a 74 Formula SD 4 speed car.
Interesting that the drivers fender had a "Formula 455" diecast emblem while the passenger fender had a ""Formula 350" emblem! Certainly looked like it was born that way

I was there & saw those cars!

I just finished up the 68 GTO's (18 year) restoration about a month ago. Got it down there safe & sound & back home.
We should have made this thread the week before the show so I could have meet a few of you guys down there.
I figured there had to be a bunch of PY'ers in the house.

That car was a 455SD, listed at a firebird, but had the shaker hood.
The right fender said formula 400 & the left said 455. Both looked kinda original
Was a neat car for sure. Loved all those Barn find cars. I had talked to a few people & most of those cars were still owned by the same person that will be putting them back in the "barn". Hopefully some of them get restored if needed, but would be cool to see cars like that SD fixed up & driven as is too.

10 1972 GTO 455HO built with the Post-Coupe Body
7 Auto
3 Manual

4 of them have known whereabouts.

Closest thing to a roll-call thread about the Post-Coupe cars , hit this link
https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=607693

Maybe CDN2PLS2 can do a documentary about his car for us now in that thread.
Wonder if it sold new in GreenBay Wisc
or if Vince Lombardi bought it new ?
