Re: new car?

I would buy it even if it was a 305 Formula with the 305 still in it . Be sure to test drive it and to look the engine over to be sure what it is .

Definitely not stock...but I don't think you should buy it. So I can buy it! That's the next car I buy, a 91-92 Formula hardtop. Seriously though, that's a good deal if the body is solid and it runs decent.

Most likely, depending on what that 400 gets. Probably not good though.
