Hello, I am Henry. I live in Maine and I started with a '77 formula i bought off a trucker in 1988. Went onto the Army for a decade, car sat in my parents back yard and then garage for the whole time. Was not driveable upon my return! It currently sits in my garage, disassembled. I had the body work and paint done last year professionally and the motor rebuilt as well, so its slowly going back together. About 4 years ago I bought a '77 SE driver out of Florida, pretty good shape. Has the 403 in it, automatic. At that point I figured 2 was enough but I ended up buying a '71 formula 455 on ebay 2 years later. I wasn't actually looking to buy another one but the price was right and complete 71s dont grow on trees soooo.... had it shipped from Washington State. It sits covered in my yard, on deck so to speak. Somehow I ended up with 2 ram air hoods for it even though it isn't a ram air car, weird how parts just seem to accumulate! So, that was definitely my LAST 'bird of any kind but a neighbor up the road from me had a manual 77 SE in his barn (who knew? up the road for hecks sake!) was moving to Florida and wanted it gone. I offered fair but comparatively low to what folks think these are worth, as it had issues and I suspect he watched too much car TV, but out of the blue he came by, took a look at my birds and made me a counter i simply could not pass up. So now i need some kind of interventional help since I got 4 of them... Cant seem to part with a single one and in all likelihood once I got the second SE going I will be looking for a 5th. Oh, and I will need a bigger garage at some point as well....
