1989 Formula Convertable Sold At Mecum Auction Last Night

I saw this 1989 Formula 'vert sell last night at the Mecum Kansas City auction. It's a 5.0 TBI, but looked to in really nice condition on HDTV. Sold for $6500.

Nice car, kind of sad that it only brought $6500...what was the mileage on the vehicle?

Thats a fairly decent number considering its a base motor car. It looks very nice and clean.
If it wasn't a vert I bet it would of brought 3,250-4,500. Now if it was a 350 car and that clean, with org tires, it could have got 12,000-18,000k. IMO.

I'm keeping a lookout, here's a very nice 1987 IROC-Z coming up at the big Mecum Indy auction May 14-19.

They don't state the mileage, judging by the drivers seat it's not high.

And a 1987 GTA Pace Car, 26,XXX miles:
