Wanted: '78 W72 400 Formula
I'm looking for a 1978 W72 400 Formula WITHOUT AC or T-tops. Automatic (TH350) trans is preferred, but 4-speed is fine too. Want numbers matching everything ideally and in solid original, or an older restored car. I'd love to find a stripper with just the W72 400, TH350/M21, 3.23/3.42 posi, PS/PB, factory tach/gauges and nothing else...a guy can wish, can't I?
Thanks, Dennis |

Anyone know of any W72 Formulas? PMD made 884 automatics and 810 sticks, 1694 total, so there has to be some out there somewhere...thanks!

I'm still looking for a W72 Formula 4-speed or TH350 auto without T-tops or A/C...if any exist.

Seen a few W72 '78 Formulas for sale, but all have A/C. This will be a tall order.

I figured that it's such a long shot that if such a Formula ever comes along, I'd buy it. So, I'm probably safe from ever making such a purchase...lol.

Yeah, they're all AC from what I see. This stick one is nice though...

Thanks Post Toastie for the links! You know how to find them for sure. I was gone for the weekend, so now catching up with PY and will look into these prospects.
This is a very unique combo, but you are dredging them out of hiding! Dennis |
