Re: 89 FORMULA 350

What a beauty. Funny, until recently I never knew that those wheels were ever offered on a Formula. Recently now, we've seen a few of them. Although with an '89, are those original?

I believe those wheels weren't offered on a Formula until 91. And it seems that you HAD to get t tops with that wheel option.

I absolutely LOVE those wheels on Formulas!

Re: 89 FORMULA 350

Hey Biz....was the huffer on it when you had it? Or is that something that Tony installed?

And, they appear to be 17" Hawks wheels??

The blower was on it when I bought the car. A PO put it on back in 1992 or so, if I recall correctly.
When I sold it to Tony, it had Ronal R15's on it. Yes, those are Hawks 17 inch, they look great on it!
Nice work Tony! Nice to see someone caring for it properly
