403 was an auto only car. In 80 and 81 there was no 400 but ther were very few 301
4sp and I think some 305 chevy powered ones. How many and how many made it to the formula I don't know.
In 77, 78, and 79 the only 4sp was the higher horse power w72 version of the 400 pontiac. My cousin has a 78 and it was fast. it had highway gears.
production #
77 -1735
78 -810
79- 367

I actually talked to the guy in so Ga last week. At that time he only wanted 2k or trade for a jon boat. But, he like the guy in Ca got a few calls more than expected and thought he under priced himself.

Mike is right. Need an Auto car.

I talked to him also last week, he told me he had sold the engine and trans for $1500, but then called me back the next day and said he was mistaken and the engine and trans where still in it. How can you forget if you sold your engine and trans?

Still Looking.

No new Formulas to talk about. Best option to date is Yahooskidoo's Ad Blue Espirit,which is a good guy BTW. Really trying to hold out for a Formula though.Maybe the spring will have some new cars available.

Thanks for everyones input to date.

this looks like one of those websites where the ad might be 2 days old or 2 years old, so no telling if it's long gone already but looks like a nice car:

Looks nice, Rick. Excepting the 4X4 springs, of course!
