Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
This car has been for sale before. It is beautiful, but for show only. I'd want to give myself 10 lashes for each mile driven! I'm surprised a serious collector hasn't scooped it up though.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
No matter how beautiful the car is, here inlies some of my issues with it.
1) it is a Base Formula, with the 350, I think it would be an easier sell with the power goodies...
2) What is up with the power antenna, if you watch the video, you can tell it is broken... which seems odd to me for being an 13 mile car.

My oops, apparently it does not have a power antenna, but the antenna is missing and only the nub is there.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
Was Pontiac using the Gray ***** in 82-83, I thought that was later.
The side-by-side configuration of the controls do not look right, that is for sure, and the dealer brochure shows the vertical *****...
good spot.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
At $10,000 less, it would sell. It indeed has been for sale for some time. I love the color scheme, being an Earnhardt fan 
But with no power options, $30k is nuts.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
Formula/ Formula 350 = stripper= Big motor, best brakes and best handling with NO goofy options/ creature features.. lol
Options are for the "other" cruiser cars, not the real performance car of the line up.. ;-)

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
The power options added fully 100 pounds, best to leave them alone. But speccing the 350 means it has an overweight transmission anyway, rather than the T5. So, here's a 3100# car that should have been a 3000# car, or according to you, a 3200# car.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
Very sweet find and sweet car, but $30K is a bit crazy IMO. I would never want that car as I feel bad putting miles on my car and it has almost 50K on it LOL!

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
I agree, at a big car auction that car would probably bring in the $18-$20K range, maybe into the low 20's on a very good day.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
The car new was $13,000... according to the Government's inflation calculator that equates to $26,330 & Change today, May 30, 2012.
In reality I think somewhere in between.

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
That radio is the bottom of the barrel Delco AM mechanically tuned. Since by the 80's majority of cars were ordered with AM/FM radios, Delco never updated the Delco 2000 AM radio to ETR and thus retained the side-by-side control ***** while all the other radio options went to ETR with top/bottom control *****.
The later Delco AM radios with the gray ***** are pretty hard to find, but at the same time who really wants one??

Re: 13 Mile '87 Formula 350
WOW!!!!! Uhhh, no though. At $13k, yep, all day long. These cars are not on that level yet. Hold onto it for about 10 more years and then put it up for sale.
