Here are some recent pics taken last week. It's been sitting for about 5 years and cleaned up nicely. Still original paint and vinyl top.

formulafr,
I think I may remember you from some years back when I was still active over on the TAC boards and you were kind of new with your Formula. Your car has come a long way. Looks real nice!

My 1975 Formula is a 61,000 mile survivor. I am driving it for enjoyment and restoring the car in sections. I wanted a more 'business' look for the car, reminiscent of the old NASCAR stockers, so the steel wheels (15" x 8") with 255/60/15's had the right look...Robert

I like that look, Robert. I have a soft spot for '75's anyway.

Don't think I've posted pictures of this one before...



Work in progress. Brakes, suspension, and rear end are done, need to get the 455 and transmission rebuilt and then installed. It looks like hell but it was only $100.
