Default 1973 SD455 Formula wanted

Looking for a nice 1973 SD455 Firebird. I prefer a Formula because you could get them in colors other than red, white or green, but a Trans Am would do as well. Original engine is a must.
Thanks, NJSteve

Still looking. I'd love to find one before the house sucks up all my extra car fun money. (house A/C unit and the fridge went in the last two weeks!).

I have not even seen a 74 sd455 formy for sale lately, much less a 73. well, other than that silver one that was on ebay for the last 2 years or so. Good luck, I hope you do find one soon.

Coincidentally, the guy wth the silver one has had a blue 74 Formula SD on ebay for the last year or so.

Does anyone know if the 73 silver ad formula sold on e-bay? I haven't seen it there for a while but the blue 74 is still up there.

I doubt it sold, but you never know. Maybe he's just thinking of relisting later at a higher price.

This SD it's been for sale for a while now, don't know many details, but maybe someone else will have some luck getting some info. I called about 6 months ago to set up a time to inspect the car for my bother, left a message, maybe two, and never got a call back.

Still looking, just in case anyone knows of someone with a few extra 73 SD Formulas out there. Isn't there some collector out west that has a bunch of them? :-)

Show me the link, please. The only 73 SD Formula that has been on there has been the silver one that we mentioned above.

Your are quite correct. Funny how the dealer that had been unsuccessfully trying to sell it for 3 years now, neglects to mention the replacement block in the ebay ads. Especially after the prior dealer fully disclosed the service replacement block issue and even posted a photo of the block warranty card in their ad. (I tried to buy it from the first dealer for $55K back then- the new dealer that has had it for 3 years now, bought it for that price before I could get it).

Thanks but it's a 74, not a 73. I'm only looking for a 73.

Seems like quit a few of them got the strip option? It must have been common for the salesman to bring that up during the ordering process.
Wheres the rest of the pictures Mike???
