Here is my 74 Fire Coral Bronze Formula 455 back in 1976. Thought I had found it a couple weeks ago, but it turns out to be its twin sister. See related thread in this section.

I'd move if I had to do that. Sunny all year round here. Cold days might need long sleeves, hot days may need singlet.

I relocated to the US from NZ in 1998. I love the contrast between seasons here in central PA. When spring rolls around and I take the T/A out for it's first drive, it's like getting a new toy all over again

Admiralty Blue - best color for a '74 T/A IMO

That's neat, the aftermarket rims aren't too fancy to detract like many can. Then again I'm not sure the original rallys in all dark blue work. Stance is sweet!
Reminds me to remove my SFC lettering, thought it would be distracting at normal viewing angle.

Ya, I hate the rallys being painted blue, but I knew it would be lowered with wheels not long after getting it.

Had some good light and my DSLR camera this evening.

















And here is a nice walk around video of the car, featuring the Gardner Exhaust.

BJ, that is coming out nicely, very nicely. The stripes and the bronze paint look amazing together. It's going to be a great cruiser.
