Finally I took the plunge and registered the SD on the registry.I had talked to both Jack Janney and Frank Gatarz but never took the plunge.I still have their paper forms.

I was going to go to Trans Am Nationals last year in 2006, but all of the rain changed my plans. How many Super Duties show up to it on average? I check out the website but I really cant tell by those generic photos. I will definatly be going next year if its a Sunny weekend...

I didnt make the Nationals last year but will be there this year (already booked it).
I did hear that the Formula SD's where high in numbers, but on the norm I'd say five to ten duties show up for the event.
It rains out the Tipp City run 50 percent of the time so bring a cover.

Brewster, or anyone, do you know a Chris Hicklin?
He has/had a Formula SD about 20 years ago when I met him at a few POCI events.

I remember Chris. He had a Buccaneer red, saddle interior 73 Formula SD. Automatic trans with air conditioning. He lived in South Florida on the gulf side.

Last I knew, the car was owned by some one in New York, I think it might have been Melvin Benzequez.

Thanks, toomanybirds.
His was the first Formula SD I ever saw. It was a beautiful car.

The casting number ends in 103 like all early 455 cranks.

I sure hope so!

It's all in the color combo. Blue with the white is just striking, especially out in the sun.

The car needs a lot of work to be really right on. It has several of the owners personal touches in it.

Ok, this is getting a little out of hand.
There are two of the same cars (blue/white sd auto's) in Hemmings for 55k, and 65k that are probley more correct then this car.
91,100 and he still has not made reserve? Whats the deal?
My guess is that it gets pulled before it ends due to inside bidding.

Brewster:

No offense to the seller, but the E-bay car is so wrong in almost every detail that it shouldn't be bringing those kinds of dollars.

Wrong interior color
Gloss black everything
Hardware store fasteners everywhere
No TCS switch
Wrong interior upper 1/4 trim (no coat hooks)
Wrong carpet style
E brake cable trapped between the driveshaft and exhaust
Wrong package tray
Wrong color stripes on the driveshaft
Etc, etc, etc.

All of the comments and questions in the auction gloat and fawn all over the car like it's a 100 point show car. This car wouldn't even make it into stock class at the Nationals.

I don't get it. Seems fixed to me.

And the biggest bummer... it's missing the vinyl top that it apparently originally came with
