1977 Formula 400

Well, as most of you know I have a 1985 T/A but before that I bought a 1977 Formula 400 for $1,000.00. I don't really know how much I should ask for it and I could use some ideas. It has t-tops amd a 4 speed standard for as old as it is its in fairly good condition so could someone please help me out???

I think the first thing you should consider is finding a board that deals with second gens...

If you want help with the 85.. no Problem

If I am not mistaken---the only 400 you could get with a 4 speed was the high performance 200hp version. Lesser cars had 185hp.

So thats in your favour. But the car looks rety rough---my 74 is in much better shape. Considering you bought it for $1000--maybe you should try selling for the same or slighty rare.

You just have to find the right buyer

www.nastyz28.com would be able to help much more, since that board is dedicated to 2nd Gen F-bodies

That Poncho 400 and a 4-speed would be fun though...
