From: Doghouse ······································ Car: 1989 Formula 350 Vert Engine: 350 L98 Transmission: 700R4 Axle/Gears: B&W 3.27
Car: 87 Formula T-Top, 87 Formula HT
Engine: 5.1L TPI, 5.0L TPI
Transmission: 700R4, M5
Axle/Gears: Sag 3.73, B&W 3.45
I notice it has the LG4 engine, its an ok engine, but its only a 4bbl. I will never own another 3rd gen without TPI, unless I intend to replace the engine anyway...

$1500 is a fair price for its condition, 2 K would be the max.

I also notice that the speedo is not original. they reported 158K but the speedo sais 57K, I think the 140 speedo was introduced in 87, but not sure on that one...

As for the decals on the bumpers and not the rest of the car I would assume that it has been repainted. Since plastic does not rust there probably was no need to paint those parts...

Just my opinion

The 140 speedos were available in the 86's. My 86 T/A came w/it too.
