Is it a Formula or a Trans AM with the Formula lettering on it? There was never a Formula straight out of the factory with the TA hood..... not even as an option. He could have change it but for some reason I doubt it.

Not exactly true, the 73 & 74 SD Formulas had T/A Hoods. But you are correct for any non SD 455 powered Formula

You are right Jeff... I didn't even think of that. Had to be a Super Duty.

I've seen at least two '32 roadsters with pedals that are higher than the seat. (Like I imagine those are.). I can't wrap my head around how I'd drive that.

What exactly were you searching for when you found that one Jeremy? Looking for new sofas for the family room?
