white and gunmetal grey formula
There is one other car on here with the same paint schem like mine, Most with the same paint schem are formula 350's where my is the 5.0. If any one has another 5.0 with this paint schem I would like pictures.
Also there is a strip that devides the two colors it is red and then it alternates between gunmetal and black giving it a fade out look I would really like a close up shot of this.
When I had the car repainted years ago they did the two colors but used only a red pin strip. When I do it again I want to either find a repo of this or reproduce it with individual stripes.
Does anyone know where I can find it?

Re: white and gunmetal grey formula
Yea I PM'ed him for a close up of the stripe. His is a Formula 350 w/o T-tops. I've seen one locally that has the same scheme and one in the junkyard but both were formula 350 cars.
My car had the exact paint scheme from the factory as bullydog's except the decals on the door said formula 5.0 and the power bludge decaly said 5.0 instead of 5.7.

Re: white and gunmetal grey formula
I can post up close up pics to my stripes tomorrow... I plan on repainting it the stock color with the stock stripe again...
Actually, I saw a V6 with the same paint as mine at the Pick N Pull. I snagged the AC delete dash out of it.

I also own a formula with that paint scheme, but it is a 5.0 TBI car.

Re: white and gunmetal grey formula
So there is atleast one other 5.0 with that paint scheme still rolling. I can't tell for sure but your car is a hard top right?
I've yet to see another 5.0 auto with t-tops and that paint scheme.
Your picture did remind me my door stickers did say just Formula not Formula 5.0. Thanks for the pic if I get these graphics reproduced (since I can't find them) I'll be more accurate with these pictures in hand.

Re: white and gunmetal grey formula
There is one in Chico that is White and Grey, T-tops, Auto, and 305 tbi... not a formula though. I seen it rolling around every once in a while. I have been trying to find him and try and buy it off him... It would be nice to do an Ls1 swap to it... I don't really want to do it in my formula cause I already have a new engine (20k miles on it) with Trick Flow Aluminum Heads, Crane Cam, Accel superram and such.
