I think this is the same car that I owned about 20 years ago. Bought it out of a tow yard in Antioch CA for $800 and drove it home. I cleaned it up and made it a decent driver. It was a good solid rust free car when I sold it on ebay. Too bad it fell into the wrong hands. The facebook price is about what I sold it for IIRC

It popped back up for sale here in CA about 10 years ago. The "before" pictures sure look like it. How often do you see a brown '71 Formula 350 with a 4 speed?

I'm not qualified to comment on colors since I have red/green color blindness. If I'm reading the trim tag correctly it looks like the original color was Shadow Gold. I have no idea what you color vision people would call the current color.

Edit: my wife says it looks like olive. And also says it looks like vomit. LOL.

That's pretty much spot-on for shadow gold. Not many would call it their favorite , but not bad.
Claims 30something thousand original miles and factory paint.
Still has the plastic front valance too.

Looks to have been an undercoated car that was ice blasted clean ,,,, Very Clean that is.
Fair price overall
