you can get 3 on ebay now for 50.00.oh the front is cracked and the back of the rears have the holes broken.

for a driver fight with the repoes,but for that 70-74 don't go cheap on the parts that stand out.for that 73 SD,i'd pay the price.luckly i got mine several years ago for 600 a set.

Default 71 LS5 M22 W66

Some July the 4th "eye candy" for the FAITHFUL!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tchlink:top:us

I'm a SUCKER for dark green "rubber nosed" birds with saddle interiors,probably because I own one.

Can't say as I've ever seen a Laurentian Green 71 with Saddle deluxe interior before & I'm likin' it, ALOT!

It appears that they pressed all the right buttons on the order sheet EXCEPT for WU3 (RAM AIR).

Check out the vids,amature but interesting!


The seller states that an SD has nothing on this this bird & I would have to AGREE!

This one WINS the Drag Race standing STILL,and we all know it would KICK the SD's BUTT in a drag race,RIGHT?

If the car IS actually everything the seller claims it is,the price really ISN'T out of line.

Love the late 60's 8-track in the glove box.

Just spotted the replacement rad support,so I'm guessing it took a little hit in nose,but fenders appear to be originals.

The font/size of numbers on the block VIN stamps(?) looks a bit OFF to me.

Absolutely awesome car but I could do without the "play by play" on the video link. Sounds like a 1970's used car dealer: "Dis is a bee-oo-tiful cah", "SD's ahr nuttin to me."

Ditto! "Dis cah's a monstah" LMAO! I do love the sound of that M22 whining in the background though. And I love the color combo. I do belive his price is a bit on the high side - I'm thinking in this market more like $40K. Nothing is bringing top dollar right now.

This car is why I think Formulas are cool. They came in so many flavors. Every once in a while one comes up that, you think you've seen all the combo's, and one pops up that knocks your socks off. This one does that, wow. That car has X factor appeal and rarity. Somehow the no Ram Air fits the character of the no spoiler car, just a subtle all business bird, but with 4 speed air no less.... and what a color, outrageous.....

He also listed a 70 442 W-30 4sp hardtop as "unrestored survivor" or something close to that. It was far from it based on the pictures included in the auction. The guy in SC was very much interested in the 70, but the seller as the time said his dad isn't selling the 70 anytime soon unless it's very big $$$. 2 months later said 70 was on ebay. anyone is welcome to PM me if they more details.
