Nice looking car, love the color. Looks like a repop ram air cleaner without the flaps/vacuum pods. Later dash bezel, not exactly full gauges as said, and I can't get a good enough look at the heads to tell if they are round port or not. Seems like 90% of the 71's claimed as HO/Ram Air turn out to be D ports so I'm always skeptical until they post PHS or show more detail.
If someone wants the car looked at before they fly in, PM me and I'll do my best to tear myself away from work and go look at it.

I think you SHOULD go look at it.....provided it's close by.....would be interesting just to see if it really is what he says it is...

I think I will call on it and see where it's at, looks like the northern part of our metro area where I live so might not be too far.

Could swear that particular automatic '71 HO Formula has been for sale in the last 2-4 years & it was in the N metroplex area. I remember the color, as I'm "killing the cardinal" red on my HO T-37 & going back with rosewood metallic. going to look killer with black parody cloth interior & poverty caps.

I just got an email from Charles at ECS Automotive telling me that they now have the correct RQ air cleaner decal for the 1972 455HO.

(of course, now that I no longer have a 1972 455HO!)

So give them a call and order one before the production run, runs out.

Thanks for the heads up Steve! I talked to Charles this morning and he needs 73 SD decal information. I'm sending him some pics, but you might also from that beautiful car of yours!

Cheers,
