Default Found another one.....1979 Formula W72

These cars seem to seek me out. This is the 7th 79 W72 Formula I have owned. It is in terrific shape. 60k original miles and a beauty.

Fantastic looking Formula! I have a soft spot for 79 Formula's as one was my first new car purchase, but mine was a 301 4bbl 4-speed car.

Your car would b very tempting if I ran across it 1st! Congrat's!
