Coronado Gold is a nice color, and it looks great on second-gen birds.

No, the car in the picture with the boy does not have a rear spoiler on it. I'm pretty sure that was a real RA III, four speed car.

If I remember correctly, that kid's father is a famous firebird guy.

And the kid in the picture just started his freshman year in college, so it was taken a pretty long time ago!

It was taken along old Woodward Avenue in Birmingham, MI, during Dream Cruise week, as I recall. Yes, original RAIII 4-speed. I believe its owner sold it out of state shortly after that.

Nice car. I don't remember when or where I got those pictures, but I keep picture files of cars by color, and those were in my Coronado Gold folder. Is this his car too?

I have 4 prints (remember them?) of this car. They were mailed to me about 20-25 years ago. I had a little 70-73 Formula webpage. It had "Readers Rides" section that was why these pics were sent to me. I lost the name of the owner then, and the data file for the webpage is gone also. Wish I had all the reader rides pics from back then. I had pics from all over the world, even one with a Formula on a flat open barge being transported. Damn.

But I remember this one was all hi po option RA one.

If anyone owns this car, you should have the pics. And if you sent me the pics, remind me!
