I have always preferred the Formulas but certainly don't mind the T/A's.
I also prefer the 4 speed no A/C cars.
Here are a couple of pics of my 73 that will be going up for sale soon. Mostly original paint and a correct looking 455 replaces the original 400. Haven't set a price yet, it will probably go on ebay.
I am one of the weird ones that prefers no rear spoiler.
