Default 73 Formula - 1st Car Show

I've had my Formula for over two years now and it's finally ready for a car show. I'm taking it to the Burdette Brothers All Pontiac Show in Hyattstown, MD on May 31st.

Real nice car! I always liked orange on the 70-73 cars.

Does it really have an orange carpet?

Beautiful car!
I love Navajo orange Formulas, I think they look so 70’s!
I would love to see the orange SD Formula that some lucky SOB has in his garage.
I think Pontiac only made one.
Good luck at the show!

Thanks for the compliments on the Formula.

It does have orange carpet and it's in good shape. (see pic)

The car has 55k original miles.

Nunzi owns it and it's completely original. I need to see if I can find the pics of it.

Navajo Orange is such a great color. Great car!

It came with white seats, rear panels and door panels but a black dash, console, and kick panels? Crazy.

Pics of Nunzi's Navajo Orange SD Formula are attached. It has some pin striping that the original owner added, but it was otherwise completely original.

These were taken in 2001 with a point-and-shoot 35 mm. Man, has camera technology come along way since then!

Great car, dealer added rear wing? Need to place your colored tape on the door handles since it sports custom trim group.
Did you win popular vote?

Like your car for a lot of reasons. The 14" honeycombs one of them. I probably am in some weird minority, but I like the look of them, and resulting stance. I have run 14 and 15 inch honeycombs on my 71 (came with 14) and it sits lower on the 14's. I like that look. I bet you do well in show.

I didn't stay for the awards due to severe weather that was coming, but it was a fantastic show. My Formula got a lot of attention.
