Default 70' Formula 400, true ram air car

Not mine, just posting here for the family. The owner,who was in our Pontiac club, just recently passed away from cancer. One of the guys in the club is helping the widow sell it and took these pictures. I have worked on the car and it is a VERY nice car. Priced at $45,000

Very nice car. If I didn't just buy a new motorhome and trailer I would be all on this.

That is one sweet piece for the price
Overdrive and AC would take you anywhere .


Just to make a helpful sincere suggestion on expediting sale
Needs some nice Full Body pics outside , just before sunset , on light colored concrete/pavement with light colored backgrounds - works best with dark colored cars.

The owner sure did himself one mighty fine ride.
My sympathy and respect to the family and friends.

Not for certain that I have ever seen an Atoll Blue 70 Formula before.
Seems fully desirable without compromise, combined with its obvious pedigree.

Wish I had a wealthy wife and a couple more buildings

My sympathies also to his family.

X2 on the full body pics. I would also add 1-2 of pics of undercarriage.

Agreed on better pix....phs is another very useful item.

Not sure why more isn't said about engine build and tranny swap...less about awards...

Didn't see the old ad but they may have taken some advice from BVZ for pictures and Judge273 for the PHS. Still no underside shots though.

I did see this car last weekend.

Very nice car. Wasn't Atoll Blue imho. Looked at trim tag and saw it was a Palladium Silver originally.

But, nice car!

200r4 - big deduction. Color change - bigger deduction.
