dont want to hijack but had a question...what kind of customer would walk in to the dealer in the early 70s and order a formie w/ all the T/A goodies, motor,gauges,stick...why not just get a T/A? do you think the flares turned some away or shaker, insur, or was it a guy that just wanted the grunt but not the flash...just wonderin   (BTW i love formies)

when i talk to some older fellows they liked the look of the formies for a few reasons
1 not too many people had them so it gave them an opportunity to be different
2 som didnt like the hood bird im guessing they didnt know you could buy them without?
3. they liked the 2 tone paint job better
4. they didnt like all the extra add ons like the wheel flares shaker etc made for more problems for maintaining a good look on the car damage wise.

these are just a few i have heard oh and lastly the cost
