You don't see 3rd gen Formulas on BAT very often...

That is a nice car.
The '47 Power Wagon is the one that caught my eye though.

Re: Very Nice 1989 Formula 350 on BAT

Does this car have the big brake option up front or am I imaging things?

Re: Very Nice 1989 Formula 350 on BAT

I looked at that car a few times, and for the life of me I cannot seem to find a single thing wrong, out of place or anything that suggests to me the car is not what it is advertised as...
Probably the nicest example Formula I have seen... Or I can recall seeing.

Re: Very Nice 1989 Formula 350 on BAT

I may need to find me a two-tone 89/90 Formula.I have always liked them and almost bought one in '88, but the salesman was a tool and screwed up the deal.

Re: Very Nice 1989 Formula 350 on BAT

I'd bet that Formula could go for 10 grand more in a couple years too. In a couple pictures there I see an orange early 2nd gen Z28 that looks a lot like the one coming up on the Mecum Auction next week, estimated at $80K or so. I wonder.......
