Default 73 Formula 400 4spd at Mecum

Well, this isn't a SD or anything like that but it's still a really nice looking car. The only things I don't like about it are the AC and the tuxedo interior. Other than that it's a beautiful car. 66k seems reasonable.

Could use some trunk bumper rubbers. AC is a bonus for some buyers, if both original in appearance and working.

Just inflation, look at any used cars, trucks, or tractors.

Also the rubber bumpers for the doors. The under hood needs attention. Many incorrect details. The restorer took many liberties.

"It's all in the details"...

Fairly common for many used cars, but on a highly priced 'restored' car it just says lack of attention to detail, much of which may not be apparent in pics.

One of those cautionary tales of buyer beware. If those things were screwed up, what else is questionable?
