Any other pics of it?

Nope. Sorry. That was back in the late '70's or more likely the early '80's.

Picked it up in Northeast Louisiana. Most likely had bought from the Monroe LA Pontiac dealer, since it was the biggest dealer in the area. But, @ 10 or more years of age, it could have come from most anywhere.

That's the only pic I have.

If I hadn't run across it, I'd probably never have known any metal panels ever existed.

Only other things I can remember about it was that the front fenders had the Formula400 emblems on 'em, and that some of the "fingers" in the rear of the FG hood were broken/missing.

Only bought 2 other Formulas. IIRC, 1 was a '72 & 1 was a '73. The one I think was a '72 was blue & had tilt steering. The only reason I remember that is because the guy I sold the car to had problems with the tilt, & brought it back to me to fix. I didn't have a clue how to fix it. I was NOT a very good mechanic. Could only do the very basic stuff. Mostly just bracket racing stuff.
