This sure looks good in the photos. Of course, close up in person it could be another story. Still, it might be a good deal for someone in the Milwaukee area.

Looks great, too bad it isn't a TPI.

Reasonable deal, but I feel like there's a better deal near me that I am surprised no one has taken yet (I went to look at it myself).

I found a bright red 88 Formula with only 46k miles on it...add an automatic and t-tops to this one...for only $6,500. And its cherry. The only problem is, it too is a TBI 305.

I really hate to say it, but the TBI is a bum deal... On the one hand you get a V8, but then it was really a dog.. I just cannot bring myself to buy anything but TPI, and I actually shy away from 5.0 TPI Autos There are 2 possibilities for me now that I am older and wiser... LB9/M5 or L98...
