Old fart with an old car
Hi All,
New to the forum, just retired and have a bit of time on my hands. My ride is a 74 Formula 400, Ram Air, 4 spd, numbers matching, 85K miles, driver. She's no trailer queen and definitely not a social drinker! But she's my kind of girl! Anyway, I hope I haven't offended too many people yet! Cheers, Pete. |

Welcome to the forums Pete. Life will never be the same again being on here.
My first brand new from the factory car was a non-Ram Air 79 Formula 301 automatic with posi. No one ever test drove it except the Anchor Mtr Frt driver that delivered it and the head mechanic at the dealership. I miss that car. Bought for $6500.00 because I delivered cars to the dealer without damage and was given a good deal by the owner.
