Dark green 1978 Formula in southeast Nebraska, Omaha area
This is probably a stretch, but here goes.
38 years ago I purchased my friends 1978 Formula. He was hurting for cash, and it had a blown 400, so I got it at a decent price. The car was dark green in color, straight with little to no rust, and I think it wore a set of Cragars or possibly rally II’s. I pulled the engine and swapped in a 1967 325 hp 400 that I pulled out of a low milage wrecked Bonneville. I used a set of HO Racing adapter mounts to get the big car 400 in the later Firebird. I also installed a set of Hooker Super Comp headers. About the time the car was finished I ended up getting engaged and becoming a father, so I sold it to an ex-girlfriend from Omaha whose nickname was Uggy. She passed in 2015 and I lost contact with her many years prior to that. I’d like to know where the car ended up or if it’s still around. The friend I purchased it from passed away many years ago as well, but I have good memories of both people, so to be able locate the car or know it’s whereabouts would be great. Potential purchase would be considered if the car was for sale, if not it would be nice just to know it’s whereabouts.
