congradulations on the wedding.
dude, that is a beautiful ride!
i have a couple of questions:
looks like an 87-90 but with a 91-92 wing, correct?
and are those 13" Baers and Decelerotor rears behind 17" 4th gen wheels? did the use of the 4th gen wheels require the use of wheel spacers on your Formula?
of all the Third Gens, i am a Formula man, and your car is absolutely stunning to me. i would welcome some pics and specifications of what that baby's got under the hood.

Re: Well its History now
Congratulations!!! While my wife insisted we have a limo 4 years ago for our wedding (we got married on May 26th too!!), my best man drove behind the limo in my Z28 so that we could get a couple wedding shots of us with the car. I didn't have my IROC at that point, otherwise we would've used that car for sure....

Re: Well its History now
We're all happy for you!
I said lets get him a firehawk, but since that kitchen aid toaster was on your registry I assumed you wanted it more and went with that.

Yes the car is/was a 89 Formula 350. It has 240,000 miles on it. I had 1 mile on the motor when we drove away. On the way out to take more pix 7miles away the car went 150mph with 0 probs!.. (she wasn't in the car tho
)When we painted the car over 15yrs ago there weren't many options for rear spoiler replacement. This came along and I used it. I still have the orginal wing and decklid.
The brakes are aluminum hat 13" Baer rotors front and rear. Just call Baer and order what ya need, they'll help you out. I did them years ago..
The wheels do have spacers. The front brakes are based off the 1LE spindle. I use shorter spacers than the tech page and most people use because I don't like the wheels sticking out to the complete edge of the body..
I use 1.1/4" and 1.1/2", I 4 get which i have on front and rear. I also have a ford 9" in the rear.
The motor is just a old pos SBC ;-).. I'm sure there are pix of the interior, motor and all if you click on the lil garage symbol in my avitar and also if you search TTOP350 on photobucket or google.
