My 73 Formula 400 4-speed. Inherited from my uncle. It's a work in progress, but a reasonably presentable driver.

This is a picture of my 2000 Formula after a helicopter crashed into it, about four years ago when I worked for the Army. The tow bar lock pin failed and the OH-58 training device coasted into my parked car in the wee hours of the morning.

That is a great cruise night.
I keep my Formula at the cottage where It can really be enjoyed with long stretches and twisting roads and barely any stop signs or lights, just not worth it to keep it in the city. Maybe we’ll see you this summer. |

Ok, I'll chime in.
These are the pictures of the '74 Formula 455 we went to look at - and how we ended up buying my '70 Formula. IIRC my dad negotiated that the wheels and tires, as well as the aircleaner(?) from this car were put on the '70...

nice!
I have a 1971-brown Formula 400, and 1973-red Formula 400... I'd like more, but I already have too many die cast cars...

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
