You don't need to challenge me on this - I can consider it a good car with an odd combination of options and you can consider it run of the mill - doesn't matter to me.

Not intending to challenge, the Ram Air II part alone makes it rare car. I've only seen 3 (5 when you include GTOs). Two of the 3 had bench seats and I didn't pay attention to Deluxe versus Standard interior.

What has intrigued me more about this particular car is its struggle to find a home after the sale at Mecum Indy.

It has nothing to do with the quality of the car or it's pedigree and everything to do with it's owners. I'm not certain of Phil's reasons for selling it, he didn't quite share them when we had breakfast at MCACN a few months ago, but he is in the process of building a truck stop & family center on some property he owns off the interstate so that may have something to do with it although he may just not be interested in the car. The prior owner, not Joe Cione sold it quickly and cheaply to Phil because he needed the money fast and Phil was willing to give him X dollars quickly.

Saw this ad on Phoenix CL. Looks like the car is in Colorado. Always liked the Formulas...

Red/red is really uncommon. Nice car, but at $23K it's priced a little high IMO.

I looked at it and passed when it was very local to me (2 miles), and long-time owner was asking $18k. Both quarters had been skinned and lots of little things needing attention imo. 99% sure its in the hands of a broker/flipper now, as name and location are familiar from a much nicer Atoll Blue/Blue '70 I almost bought a year ago.
