33K Survivor Formula 455 RamAir Pics
Here are a few pictures from an all original unmolested 455 RA Formula from the Norwood plant. I took these pictures for future reference. I wish I remembered to take a picture of teh gas tank with the mfg stamp in black ink.
The car even had most of the original exhaust system except for the muffler and a portion of the head-pipe on the pass side (no pictures of exhaust). |

...and a few more...notice the red (closer to brown) original oxide primer on the floors. i'm sure the color changes from year to year and batch to batch. It was really a treat to see a well preserved un-butchered original car.

US Steel stencil on the bottom of the gas tank still. Red (brown in this case) oxide primer, and mostly original exhaust system (except for the muffler and a short section at the end of the head pipe on the pass side. Alittle bit of scrubbing and some Evaporust to clean up the surface rust and it would be nice. Maybe Bentwheel Bob and MPD have extra time on their hands to take on another project (haha).

Looks nice. My SD is 39k still has original exhaust.Not cut up. The car was rust proofed ,1st month with a grease type rust proofing. It's still soft. Blue Paint was bad when I first got it,still not perfect.They talked about repainting when new I said no.

Actually...
this is the very first unrestored car I've seen with the "USS" U S Steel stamping on the bottom of the gas tank. Every one I've dealt with has been on the topside. Anyone else have an original stamped on the bottom?

Do you have pictures of the rare RA A/C oil tube?
I'd also like to see how it compares to the SD unit, if yours has A/C Bob. |

HFR, The dipstick tube did attach to the rear upper AC bracket. I'll get a picture of it the next time I see the car (soon I hope).

74 was the first year for the darker, almost brownish primer bath. I have a section of a dash that represents this color perfectly. It was the section where the dash speaker mounts.
