Seems like I've seen that car somewhere before . . . E-bay, perhaps?

Anyway, congrats on your find. 455 Formulas are relatively rare. Nice that yours was in such a dry climate!

Cliff will do you a bang-up job on that Q-Jet - that's a great start.

Welcome to the PY forums, and by all means keep us informed on your resto progress!

Lloyd you may have seen it and me on some of the other Firebird sights, I've been gathering intel for a while. I found it in autotrader last october-november time frame, hasn't been on ebay that I know of, although I have seen a few close to it.

I found this site when I was talking to Cliff about the carb. Weird thing is I have ordered parts from PY, just didn't know they had a forum. Oh well, found it now and love it!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Best Pontiac forums on the 'net - hands down! Plenty of very knowledgeable and helpful folks here.

Be sure to snap pics and post 'em in a separate thread when you get into the resto.

lniemeyer2, Your Formula and mine must have been made at the same plant LOL They left off the front valance Mine came with a new unpainted one. The car is still sitting (3 years) in the same spot in the driveway, just not on the trailer. I'm working on making some room in the basement for it. Good Luck with Yours !
