I believe it's a high VIN Formula (or TA even)
06A build on cowl tag.

But, I guess as a SD car it would be an early VIN for them.

I curious. Is it normal for the SD to have the cylinder heads made in Nov 1972 and the care in June 1973. That’s what I’m getting from these pics. Am I wrong?

I just got finished checking the Registry
There are 2 Formula's with lower VIN's [136xxx range]
Blue car is 137xxx [06A]

He just submitted his Blue one this month.
Shows 44,418 miles
Stereo Radio and 8-Track , Wheel Open Moldings

Gxx3 cylinder head would be a replacement

Would love to have that car
-with a rear spoiler

K 72 dates are correct for original equipment.

The Gxx3 head would be a replacement.
Maybe SR or 74 vintage ... idunno . I'm not well versed on 74's

Default SD Formula

A friend called me yesterday to tell me about this car.
I e mailed the seller Wed evening & this morning, no response.
Checked the registry last night and this car was not on it then so it was added today.
Still waiting for a response.

I too reached out with no reply.
Rumor has it the car has an SR block which helps explain the replaced head. Also heard another rumor that the car has sold. I cannot validate just rumors?

Makes sense, that`s probably why he posted a pic of the casting number and not a engine code.
My guess is it dropped a valve and puked the engine.

I agree that it looks like the new owner got a good deal. Absolutely love Admiralty Blue with the black interior. Automatic transmission with no AC is a combination I don't see too often. Makes this car even more unique. Congratulations to the new owner, I am just a little jealous.

Love the color combo.
I can't get over why so many were ordered without the rear spoiler.
