Good afternoon. Pretty excited, as I have finalized a deal to acquire this original 91 Formula 350. I hope to have it in my possession by the end of the month. The down side it that I don't have room for 3 cars, so I may have to part with the flame red metallic 89 that i picked up this fall.
Man... That looks clean!

Thank you. I'll get more photos of it when I get it here. I bought it out of NV, so from all of the photos I have, it is a very clean original car. The seller has sent me 100+ photos and receipts for all of the work done since he bought it. He purchased it in 2010 out of WA with 69K miles, it has just shy of 75K miles on it now.Originally Posted by Reddragon88gta

looks sharp. Green is making a comeback, 25+ years later.

Here are the RPO Codes for the car, sorry the right side is a bit blurry. It does have dual cats, F/R Disc Brakes and the oil cooler...

Thanks. The guy I got it from has had it since 2010, and has only put 5K miles on it, so it sits just shy of 75K, at 70K he put new bilstein shocks, tie rods, basically all new front end parts on the car.....Originally Posted by Reddragon88gta
That’s a nicely equipped car, a lot of the food options Great looking car, I like the green color. It's hard to find these cars that are that clean on the under side especially.

What's the relay near the fuel lines for? Did they re-route the wiring for the fuel pump?Originally Posted by IROCIN
Looks like someone was trying to get as much camber as possible

The car arrived yesterday from NV. The car is every bit as nice as the photos. Once it is nice enough to wash, I will get some photos, but that may be 2 months. I am very happy with the car though, it arrived with two extra steering wheels (one brand new), a stack of records going back to 1990, when originally purchased. Everything works on the car, "0" door dings. 2 small rock chips and 1 light scratch on the spoiler, other than that, great condition. The car is 9 out of 10.... COME ON SPRING!
