That's a good looking car, clean.

There is a guy that lives next door to my buddy here in Cincinnati, he has a red 1990 Formula with 93,000 original miles. The car was for sale only for a week and sold for the asking price of $6,500!!

there seems to be a market for 3rd gens out there. i picked up an unmolested all original 89 Formula 350 about a year ago w/ only 7k miles on it. unmolested priced right 3rd gens sell well. but if you mod it up its a tough sell.
as far as a five speed all 3rd gens 350 came with autos. and the difference between the 305 tpi and 350 tpi is in the torque. i've owned both at the same time. and the 350 really launches, but imo is not worth the extra price. i myself am hunting for a 305 tpi 5 speed. next to impossible to find!

The 350 and auto work nicely. You can really move out at a stop light. It is hellafun and I say go that route!!

Love it

I have everything stock thus far, but headers are FOR SURE on my list, along with induction improvements. May look into racing brakes, although, will probably truly benefit after a substantial improvement, then again, in heavy traffic with so many careless drivers, they pay for themselves already
