Hi All...My name is Kevin and I'm a 41 yr old gearhead from Nova Scotia Canada. I had my first bird when I was 18, an 81 Formula with the turbo wheels, 4 wheel disk and the 5.0L. I paid $5000.00 canadian for it. It was silver with the charcoal bottom. Red/orange somewhere on it too if I recall, maybe a stipe along the bottom and around the hood scoops? This car was absolutely pristine until...my old Dodge aspen winterbeater ran dry of oil and seized the engine, I had to pull the formula out of storage, got drunk at a bar one night with it and hit a snow/ice bank on the way home with it. Drove the front wheel up into the fender and wrikled it. I was sick. I traded it for a Jeep CJ7...thats a whole other story.
It wasn't until 1995 when I split with my girl at the time and found my Black 81 TA. Had a bit of minor rust and very solid. Just doing a major on it right now. New engine, paint, decals(soon I hope:-}, weatherstrips, added posi and 4 wheel disk. Old interior goes back in this year, new next year. Be looking you up again Brett for the seat covers.
I absolutely love these cars. The only thing mine was really missing was some grunt. Got it now though. Convenient hat the 81's had a chevy motor standard. Made for a straight bolt in for my roller 350.
You all have some awesome looking cars. Glad to have found y'all.
