Re: 1990 Formula 350

not in bad shape, most everything seems to be there. I've seen better shape cars go for those dollars tho. if the guy really wanted to sell it fast and not haggle over money he would clean it up some. I'm not a big fan of replacing the air snorkel with vacuum cleaner attachments, what other misdeeds have been done.

And the distributor cover is missing on a 46k mile car. Makes me think something else is really going on lol

Re: 1990 Formula 350

Yeah the vacuum cleaner air intake is tacky but easy to fix...

I knew guys that thought the car looked better and took the distributor cover off... Some people didn’t like that the plastic didn’t match the aluminum sometimes (especially if you polish the aluminum)

I think the interior and door jams look consistent with the mileage but would definitely need to see the underside and pull a Carfax... It would have to have a million miles to roll that zero over though..

I’d say more like $8500-9000 would be a good deal..

I agree with you tho, looks like the car can be cleaned up nicely if it truely is a clean car. I've got a spare air intake channel laying around if someone decides to buy it.
