87-92 formula wanted

I am looking for a 87-92 formula with a 5.0 or 5.7 TPI. But it has to be a 5 speed. Must have t tops, and a ws-6 package with the 4 wheel disk brakes. I am open to color, inside and out. I want a good looking and driving car. It does not have to be a show car but decent. I will either buy it cash if I want it, or I have a, gulp, 85 mercury capri 5.0 rs with many mods to trade for one. If interested in trading, I have a boatload of pics of my car and details will follow. I am located east of Cleveland Ohio about 40 minutes. thanks

Not much out there. What about automatic cars, 350 preferred, but open to a 305?

Very nice. That is what I am looking for in general, but just a touch to far away from me. Thanks

Re: 87-92 formula wanted

I posted a link in the ad's that shows the defects in the paint, the front and rear bumpers have scuffs in the paint, the paint on the hood is peeling in the front, and small nic's and scratches on the rest. It does have richmond 3.73's gears in it and it whines a little, but other than what is shown in the pics and what I described this is a nice car, but if you need any more pics or know somebody in this area to look it over let me know. If we do do this I want you to feel comfortable as you can with this. So let me know if there is anything I can do to help, let me know. Also it has drum brakes on the rear end, fyi.

Re: 87-92 formula wanted

If you are still in the market, I have a 1992 Formula 305 TPI 5-speed T-top formula I am going to have to part with. This is my daily driver. It is a great car, but with 2 kids, 2 other projects and a Small Business, she is going to have to go. I am located in Eastern Indiana. Let me know if you are interested and I will send more details.

Re: 87-92 formula wanted

I have exactly what you want. It took me 3 years & 5 cars later to find to find that rare combo. I never considered selling her but for the right price, I would let her go. She is from factory - 305 TPI,5 speed, WS6, T-tops, GTA wheels, black interior, one year only jamaica yellow. She now has a 350 TPI w/ 20K on stock rebuilt, new clutch at that time, 4.10's were put in rear. She looks awesome with fiberglass cowl hood less than 2 year old paint which I believe to be Ford chrome yellow. No rust, dings, or dents. Not a show car but pretty damn close. I've got $5250 invested. Only available to the person who started this post. $6000 firm.
