Very nice car, if I hit the lotto! Back turn signal frames should be painted to match stripes, as an FYI.

Wow!, Just looking at the that clean Formula made my morning! I dig that it is wearing the original blue CA plate too.

What do you guys think about not having over-spray on bottom from rocker spray . He did it on firewall or toe board .

what a beautiful car! The Lucerne Blue with white side stripe is possibly the best color combination I've seen. I'd have a hard time under spraying the blue onto the bottom too.

For a restored car, with that much work into it, I think its fine. This car is NOT trying to say its "as delivered" , but a very very very nice resto.
Hell, most resto shops do camaros and paint the Bottom Black ( California cars excepted)

Its super super extra nice, and price reflects the efforts.

I don't like body color overspray on a nice restored car.
And don't prefer the side stripes on any of them.
Those are just personal choices of my own.

It is an oddity that it was built in Norwood,Ohio to be sold in California, instead of VanNuys plant. I guess the workers strike might be involved in that somehow.

High Respect to the seller and restoration, and the Car.

They did a good job with the photos too, which isn't necessarily common for eBay auctions.

All 72's were built in Norwood, so were all F-body's produced 72 up through 77 models.
For '78, Van Nuys reappeared as an F-body plant.

Fantastic looking car. Neat that it has the original build sheet, dealer frame, etc., too.

I love the photo of the billboard advertising the selling dealership. “Pontiacs are Great Cars! I sell ‘em!” Love that kind of stuff to go with a car like this.
