Maybe a 73 Navajo Formula 350 with a R2 spare tire.

If it's a Navajo Orange Formula from Hansord, they must have liked that color.

We have a gentleman's agreement to sell/purchase the vehicle.

It's not much (other than the price). But, it is a '73, and a Formula. Not Navajo.

Cool!
The only other Hansord dealer car I know for 1973 was a SD 455 TA.
(Buccaneer Red also)

Yes, that is the one I thought it was Navajo Orange. But you saying it's not that, soooo thought SD? but pic is not a SD Formula. (Buccaneer Red)


Unless this is the Orange one repainted?

Great car Mike
Congrats on it having 3 pedals and a wiggle stick
21,000 miles should be sweet and tight.
The trunk gutter pic looked sorta Navajo

Does it have #46 cylinder heads ?
Some of those have screw-in studs and some don't - iirc

Does it have a posi axle with that 3spd ?

Mike, does it have a metal front valance?
Also does it have a Firebird decal on the rear spoiler?
(my 73 Florentine Red Formula had one that looked good on it)

I think the color came from the cut and buff residue.


I'll have to check on the heads.


No Safe-T-Track, gears should be 3.08:1 though.

I remember a metal front lower valance.
Very basic Formula. No spoiler on PHS, but one is on there with black decal (day 1, day 2, or day 3 car???)

Well, I paid for it yesterday and received a title. Was going to pick up over the weekend. Do not, at this time, believe title is for this car. Will probably have to have former owners' (deceased) brother visit state DMV. Why me...
