Boy, the trio of 1974 SD TA's didn't get any love in Chicago. Two only bid to $50K, and the other to $65K. All were no sale - bid goes on....

All nice cars, the red one looks to be more original than the others. why bidding so low?
the 4 speed SD should have at least reached 75k.

Were you there? I was and I would say not nice cars

Looked at those 74 SD and 50k was good money for them. Nothing to get excited about there.
71 Formula hood closed but Norwood needed to see hood latch, and what a ruff engine bay...

A bunch of incorrect under that Formula hood.

I was not there. Now I know why bids were low.
I just figured the 4 speed car would get more attention.

[Judge273]

I didn't see anything that proved a OEM 4 speed? Not just that car but they all had stories. The really good ones don't sell there. The pimped up ones maybe...

I've seen that silver '71 Formula 400 sell 4 or 5 times since it was restored in Houston around 2005. It was a very eye catching car but lots of incorrect details. My recollection was it was the original engine and 4 speed but might be remembering wrong. Here is a video of it back when it was just restored: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1XFgpOCHC4

Craig,
I was there and did not see you !!!! I was in the grand stands on the top by the camera stand to the right of the people who took the phone bidders calls.I left after car #140 crossed the block. After seeing that mess I am so glad I did not take my SD Formula there to sell.Could'nt believe that a 77 T/A would ever sell for over $70K.

Saw all three in person and was not impressed with any of them. The red auto was advertised as unrestored and frankly there wasn't much on the car that wasn't re-done or done properly. They weren't even detailed. Very disappointing considering how much Mecum promoted these cars. The '71 Formula 400 4spd however pulled 42k and sold. I didn't spend enough time looking it over but it appeared pretty decent.
