As you can tell it needs stuff, and I'm pretty excited about the car. It has with it trim rings, carb, and distributor.





Needs to be looked at as one of the plug wire is missing the end. PB restores?

But, right now things work to drive, and plan is to get a convoy with Norwood, Brew, etc to Dayton.

BTW: Has a 7041268 carb late dated 71?

Yeap, Brads old car! I fell in love with it the day we picked it up for D years ago. I'll start a new thread and place some pics and info soon. I dont want to steel anything from Sundance unless its on the Gold Course

I think the only difference between the two cars besides the paint is front console option, rims and maybe trim package? Mine doesn't have the rear spoiler on the phs but will be leaving unless it goes in for paint???
There both great cars!
Cheers Mike

A '72 Formy, HO, M22, and in all of it's Sundance glory. GORGEOUS, and a CA car from the get-go.

Simply over the top, Mike. I'm nearly speechless . . .

I guess driving them out to the nats is an option too?

Many happy miles bro,
Brew
Wow. Don't pay attention to PY for a few days, and looky-loo what happens. NICE HO Formy, Brew.

Are those the correct KR's hiding under those trim rings, my friend?

Keep those pesky trim rings off that 72. ;-)
Trim rings were a 73 thing.
Isn't there a factory promo photo of a 1972 Sundance Formula 455HO?

Are the honeycombs 15s? They look great with those tires.

Disregard my question, I see the "15" on the tires now.

these pics make it look even better.....4 speed with gauges, Y99, no air, 455HO, and Sundance Orange with a dry California body are about as good as it gets!

They weren't of nearly enough quality to judge the car from. I told him that I needed to see good photos before I was booking a flight to come out and inspect the car. I asked for carb photos and he said that it was too much trouble to take off the shaker to get them for me. After that I stopped bothering him.

the previous owner/seller is NOT a hands on type of guy. he can barley turn a screw driver by himself. wish i'd have known about your troubles Steve as i could have went there and taken any specific photo's you might have needed. i can totally relate to your frustration as i run across the same thing most of the time when dealing with people trying to sell something and you need a certain photo of a part or a number or whatever.....lots of knuckle head's out there these days.....

I guess I was too busy looking at the car and didn't notice the ramp. thanks for pointing it out.
back when I was buying cars as fast as I could find them, that was a lot of the fun to fly out and drive them home.

Thanks for the info and the offer. I just got way too frustrated dealing with him. And when the Sundance car sold, he send a mass text message to all the people who had contacted him about his cars, telling them all it was sold. Unfortunately, several of them kept hitting the "reply all" button...at all hours...
