Default 70 Formula 400 RA III 4spd

There was an ad in Little Niclkle that only stated 70 Firebird $3000. firm. So I just went to have a look. Walking up from behind the car I saw daul exhaust, looked under to see a 12 bolt rear? Through the side window there was a stick, tach, and gauges? This really started to get me thinking. Looking at the hood and seeing the grills in the scoops got me real excited. Popped the hood to see the RA scoop and manifolds, I knew this would be going home with me. PHSed the car 1 of 189 Formula 400 RA III M-21 3.73 12 bolt posi. Ran it many times at the strip with small 14 tires, ran 14 flat at 100mph time after time. Went 13.80 at 102mph Bremerton, WA BOP Drags in 98. Sold it and is now in Canada. It was a beater, but I would love to have it back.
