We all gotta admit it, the bar has been set very high with this one! Congrats again Kevin!

Congrats, I want that interior and drivetrain.

IMO This car needs to be COTM for the rest of the year!! It's just so perfect!!

 

Sweet ride! Congrats!

Beautiful car Kevin! One of the cleanest third gens I've ever seen...could stare at your car all day (: Congrats

 

wow great job. those tires are so huge in the back.

congrats and well deserved

 

Awesome car.

 

Awesome car, total sleeper. I vote for car of the year

 

Well, well deserved. Absolutely gorgeous car.

 

SICK FORMULA!!!!!!!

 

Hey, the Car of the Month is black! That's a f***ing surprise.

 

very nice, should surprise many "modern-muscle cars".

 

Dub post

 

Black is best

Congrats, from one Black 89 formy 350 owner to another!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Was your car built by Hawks Third Generation?

 

amazing car! cant wait to finish my formula...

 

Beautiful car inside and out! Is there a thread with more specs that what is mentioned here? Would love to know the details of the car.

 

The car is very impressive...

 

From a third 89 formula 350 - Congrats. I parked next to you in 2011 at Tipp City and your car is truly amazing.

 

 

that interior is really awesome. I feel my car is too simple to win any COTM and besides it doesn't seem very predictable if there is one or not?

 

Amazing ride. I'd love to ride in it!!

 

amazing...thats real muscle

 

Wish I had been online when this when on. Totally would have voted for you dude. I've seen this car in person. It's pretty freaking sick. So is the guy who drives it but that's a different story

 

I want your drivetrain :drool:

 

Amazing jewel of an F-Body. Just awesome...

 

what rims r those???

 

O_O That is not just a sleeper, but a screamer. Almost scary how loud that engine roars.

 

Holy friggin sleeper, that "formula 350"'must bring shame and tears to just about anything else on the road. I know I would want to return my vette if I got toasted by what looks to be a very clean but stock looking thirdgen bird.

 

This video has a clip of Kevin's engine starting and revving. Sounds like freaking jet. Its awesome

you see him backing it into a parking space at the beginning, and the rev exhibition happens later in the video

 

any underbody pics? man i thought i have seen most of the higher quality third gen cars here and then i saw this!!!!!

 

Congrats Kevin!
It truly is a beautiful ride, I've seen it several times in person. It turns everyone's' head when it comes rolling in to a meet!


One 89 Formula to another!

 

Wow very nice it gives me something to shoot for with my Black bird.

 

That is one sweet car.....

 

this is my favorite ever third gen. it is my "go to" in argument of what a 3rd gen can be - looks and performance.

 

Hey Linson,
Got any more pics of your car? Yours is the first one I seen that's the same color as mine!

 

i'm assuming those wheels are custom made for this car??? i always thought that this car was corprately sponsored by Hawks. maybe it was just the YouTube video was sponsored by Hawks.

as i said, this is my all-time favorite 3rd gen, and maybe the "best car" i've seen, period.

 

yeah, i got a few. i post up pics whenever i can vaguely justify them in a post.

want me to PM you pics and tech?

are those Torque Thrusts on your car? do they require spacers? i like my Formula wheels, but not the limitations on brake upgrades and tire options. Torque Thrusts arent the style i would want on my car, i dont think, but still curious as to whats out there.

 

If you could add me to the PM, too, I'd appreciate it!

Uncommon color for a 'Bird.

 

TT II's, no spacers required. You can add pics to your photo album in your profile. I have my original wheels in the boxes the TT II's came in.

 

Frkn gorgeous and bad ***!! Very good taste on this build!

 

pics uploaded. thanks.

for the semi-chronological experience that i intended, you should start at the end of the album and work your way back.

 

i uploaded a picture album to my profile.

one cool thing about that Maui Blue color is that it pops, regardless of whether its sunny or cloudy outside.

 

Thanks!

 

My paint is listed as "silver blue metallic".

Nice photo album! OK, back to topic!

 

mine too. i think they're the same. but then maybe there is a slight difference. Maui Blue may have hints of green, where ours have hints of purple. but people commonly refer to the shade as Maui Blue.
