I'll going to get the PHS docs on it. But it's heavy options. Got ac tilt deluex am 8 track auto deluex interior. I might sell it thou. I'm not sure yet. Thanks for advise. Not sure they worth restoring?

Depends what 'worth restoring' means. You just have to find someone happy to spend many times it's finished value to get there, just like many vehicles.

that's a cool "parts car"!!

Before I read that everyone else chimed in about how that's a rare car in it's own right, I was going to say the exact same thing.
Were I you, I'd be pretty darn tempted to leave it as an Esprit 400(2bbl) car and get it roadworthy, and maybe do a "frame on" restoration, and just drive the thing!

I get that some key parts will find their way to your Formula, and I don't blame you - that car will have most of the little bit's your car may be missing - but I'd wager that you should be able to keep that car complete even after pulling the odd little part off of it for your Formula.
