There is another suspicious car that Nacho needs to see
70 RamAir Formula in Palomino Gold , I think on eBay
Palomino looks so bad on these , and GTO's , it is just awful on the Formula

Thews posted it in his ongoing thread
Will try to find it and link it here.

The Palomino car has its Invoice posted now - it didn't before.
It is legit , RA 4spd with AC

The color and vinyl top are killing it Hard
And a few other details

Comes with 2 engines
At first it said BOTH WS engines had #48 heads , now it says the original WS has #12 heads.
Its getting better

Although it is probably a Great Car (the palomino) , it is the ugliest Formula in good condition I have ever seen.
Inside & Out
Its hard to decide which is worse , interior or exterior.

an ignition coil wire 4 feet long
the vinyl top , the wheels , the low long exhaust bazookas
everything is a clash no matter where you look

Its never going to sell in that price range anytime soon .

Seller is the same guy who just bought the waste basket rust bucket White 69 Ram4 Automatic Judge in Florida on BarnFinds for 42,500 .
Seems to have a lot of cars

It’s easy to be critical of other people;

I think that when ever someone personalizes a car, it makes it a harder sell.
(I am of course lumping the multi-coloured interior and chromed rally ii’s as personalizations).

I really don’t mind the colours, and the vinyl roof doesn’t bother me one iota.

Unless I’ve missed something, the exhaust is stock - but the tips are a bit low.

If it js all correct (seeing the PHS would be nice), it wouldn’t take a whole lot of work to make it look nicer.

The car in the 1st post.. the description says " ram air options" , technically doesn't say its a RA car.
One thing I noticed is the body curve on the rear quarter seems significant. The lower curve that goes in some. Could be the paint.

Palomino =
Its pretty much straight up with what pictures show.
Pwr Str, Pwr Brks, Deluxe Int, Deluxe Belts, Console, 14" R2's, then small trinkets
I think the Formula St Wheel is the only add on to the car.
Either standard seat covers or low buck hybrids lacking comfort weave.

Plus a relocated coil and 4 feet coil wire, different type AC compressor.
Probably a really good car overall - but no curb appeal whatsoever
Been for sale for 6 months I believe you implied.
Color changes and cordova delete on the resto and it would have been sold already for about 60k
Ram3 4spd with good equipment and supposedly #s drivetrain , rare bird.
2 engines and 2 muncies.
