I assume this belongs to someone on here. Beautiful car! I like the wall banner in the garage!

That is such a nice car for the money. Great color combo and original drivetrain, carb, wheels, alt. It needs a Craig steering wheel and the floor should be repainted but other than that its a killer car.

Thanks for the kind words. Someone else can undercoat it. At least this way you can see all the imperfections.

Beautiful.

I'd have to say, if the time machine was working, that's about how I'd order one - provided they wouldn't allow a IV.

The stack has 5 ( 1,2,3,4,5 bottom to top)and the shock plates are bent up. ( typical with 5 leaf installs)
That said; this is "bolt on "stuff I would fix, but would NOT stop me from buying this beauty if I was in the bidding...
Was just a point of reference as I seem to look for suspension stuff.
I am NOT Dissing this car, its a $300.00 bolt on swap at most.

Is the 146.00 F60x15 line on PHS the rally II include the TA handling package?

I ask again since I was told before it wasn't available on a Formula in another thread....


"Billy, this car has the rarely seen option TNL (UPC Code PM7) which used F60x15 white letter tires and Rally II Wheels. It was a $146.39 option, available on the Formula 400. ��"

The car has the small rear sway bar, Not sure what else was part of the TA handling package. I have been told that the original owner just marked the box for 15" tires is how it came with JWs and yes it should have trim rings with the décor package but I just couldn't put them on.

I know what you mean. After spending all that time restoring the rally II rims, it's damn hard to put trim rings on and scratch the rims.
