Default Another low mile 79 W72....

I recently purchased a 1979 W72 Formula. I have owned 4 previously and this is the lowest option one I have had. it has a bunch of day two mods that were done back in the day but I received all original parts with it ,except for the original bucket seats. The owner forgot them in his old attic approx. 10 years ago when he relocated. 23,642 original miles. It was featured in HPP back in December of 98, has had less than 1k miles put on since then. The car has H-O Racing springs, lifters, cam, advance timing kit and H-O Racing Tri-Y headers. Also has Recaros.

Very nice!

Those Recaros are beautiful! I wouldn't change them. They're some of the most comfortable seats ever made imo.

Loved the Recaros I had in the 78. Put my stock seats back in for shows but going to get the Recaros redone.
