Title: My 77 Formula That I Had
Post by: lyle71 on July 27, 2007, 01:41:43 PM: Here are a couple pics. One with the Formula beside my buddies 81 T/A and the other of the before and after decal placement on my T/A. I have some more somewhere if anyone wants to see them, let me know, I just have to scan them.

Post by: lyle71 on July 27, 2007, 02:56:31 PM: Well the Formula was nice but had a 305 2bll which I swapped for a 4 bolt main 4bll 350 Vett motor. It had a woodgrain dash that I swapped for a silver one. There was some rust but I fixed that. The muflers both exited just below the seats which caused for good vibrations and a nice sound when driving through an underpass. It was not posi and did not have the umph that my T/A did. So I sold it to a very happy kid that wanted it at all costs. It sold for $2900 back in 97?? era when even T/A's went for under $5000 in mint shape. I loved the hood though and the way the tires laid rubber. It was by far not in mint condition, just good. It had a 4spd Saginaw and a sunroof (I don't know if it was ordered that way or put on later).

Post by: lyle71 on July 27, 2007, 03:25:42 PM: Thanks I guess. Now I feel real bad about selling either. I may have found another though, I will keep you all posted.

And by the way, posting more photos is not egotistical..... around here it is called "passion". Besides... look at me, I have an entire website dedicated to my car.... how egotistical is that?!?!?

Post by: lyle71 on July 31, 2007, 08:01:30 PM: The exhaust was my idea and boy did it vibrate especially on the highway but it was loud. At least I never got pulled over. And since you guys all like photos, I will find more within my collection and post them. I am still trying to find my sorry T/A just before paint, with primer blotches everywhere.

Hmmm...lesee...created this great site for an incredible treasure trove of information...gave all us malcontents someplace to hang...keep it all running...and also make the time to help organize things like the Nationals...nope, not egotistical at all -- just pretty darn cool, I'd say. 8) 8) ;)

We are all thankful for Brett's huge ego ;D and love of his '78.
Great pix...keep 'em coming!!
