After seeing the Bugatti picture, I see you cats just have Rivet-Envy.

Looks like split-back bench seat to me... Not sure those covers are original. I don't recall seeing that type of cloth cover on Pontiacs from that era.

I'd love to see it with both doors open ... hard to believe those rear doors stay in alignment. Does it just have a post to hold the hinges? Wonder if they used a standard frame on a hardtop four door.

I'd offer him $3,000 but I bet he'd take 3500-4000. Probably even take the 3 grand if you waved the cash in front of him. That would be a fair deal.
*edit* I bet he just got (found) it for half what he's asking, and is flipping it.

I'll tell you this; I'd choose this Formula over that Aerosmith van any day.
It's my favorite '71 color and personally, I dig the 350 3-speed on the floor combination.
I'd fix the quarters, rust proof the under carridge with used 90W and drive it like Jim Rockford.

Power headlights are a great option. Hard to keep the manual ones lit.
