New to me 89 Formula 350
Picked up a Formula 350 a few months back and finally got it out after all the rain we had down here ended. Here are a few pics that were captured at the Thirdgen Roundup. Car won a Top 5 award out of 51 total cars.
It is an original and clean 39k original mile car. Black on Black with t-tops. Took many years for me to find one setup like this for sale with low miles. Had to do a bit of work to get it into shape but over the course of 2 months got it looking great and running great.
When is the last time you have seen one like this? Any numbers on how many were made?

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
Very sharp! Similar to mine, except mine is white with 65k on it. Most of the formy350's out there are beat to hell or not original. Good for you, picking it up. It is a fun car to drive, has a lot if you ask it, otherwise cruises nice with decent mpg.

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
I've got your twin. Only diff I see is we don't do front license plates here. Also since mine was repainted black I opted for the charcoal 350 decals on the doors which to me are a little more subtle. Nice car!

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
You have the same configuration?
Always open to offers, the only thing I have left to do after the A/C is done is getting the exhaust redone - aside from that its about as nice as it gets.

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
Love it. I always thought the Formulas(and the corresponding LX Mustang) were the coolest cars of the era due to their understated looks, but superior performance.

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
it does have the dual cats.
I actually just put the car up on eBay.
Testing the market to see what it will do.
It's about as original as it gets.

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
Thanks formula_novice. I was looking for this car for a long time. Glad to own it and get it back in shape! Part of me doesn't want to let it go, part of me would like to hang onto it, another part would like to move on to the next project! My friend had the 305 version of this car when we were in high school. Always loved it!

Re: New to me 89 Formula 350
That's cool. Not a lot of 1989's got the dual cat option.
