WIW 70 Formula
Original and complete minus engine & transmission. Free of rust and dents, but in need of full resto after sitting in AZ sun. Carousel red, parchment?, 4-speed, non a/c.

Probably anywhere between $500 & 5000........Depends on how bad you want it/ what it really needs & what you intend to make it into...
You could easily drop 20-30K restoring it.....likely cheaper to find a decent original or one that's already done. |
That is pretty much the condition I found mine in and I paid $2800 for it in 2008. If you want to see what it will cost to do the car, you can view my thread since I posted the cost somewhere near the end.

What's the build date on it? Does it have the 12 bolt in it? Posi? Gears?
I might be interested in it if you want to flip it. |
IIRC, 02B. Was told the original "10 bolt" is in it. I thought they all had 12 bolt in 70.

Norwood build SHOULD have W66 on Cowl Tag. ALL 1970 Formula 400's came with 12 bolts...... |

BTWL: VIN and trim tag indicate Formula, Van Nuys, standard sandalwood interior, carousel red (U & L) Car has decor trim group and all is there except wheel moldings and rocker trim. Also 14 inch rally 2s, rally steering wheel, rally gauges, console...will order my own PHS |

Sounds like a cool car! |
You were correct, Keith.
Since correct engine, transmission, rear end are all MIA, am thinking 1 of none RA4 type of build...using a cleverly disguised IA II aluminum block & e-heads, 5-speed...otherwise stock appearing inside and out. I drive my cars, and this would be fun. |

Most likely I'll have to edit my signature tomorrow.
I intend to follow through with the basic plan I described below. Won't start until after my TA is finished though...maybe 3-4 months. |
Is that paint code 65 or 75? Looks like Cardinal Red in the picture.
Nice score - keep us posted! |

...and so the fun begins!

That is a great find and a perfect set up and color. No AC, Gauges, Formula wheel, 4 speed, that is all business. The Judge color is over the top. This is one not matching numbers is less of a big deal because the car is just so cool regardless. Nice!

Thanks, can’t wait to get started on this one. I should have it in my garage next week. I'll be able to disassemble (and document) at a leisurely pace because the body shop won't be ready for it until my TA is done--2-3 months hopefully.
Interesting tid bit…Jim Mattison called me after I sent in the PHS order and asked if the car is really two-tone consisting of, get this, a Palomino Copper lower and Carousel Red upper. Given what the trim tag says and all the Carousel Red that’s visible on the lower body, he chalked it up to a mistake on the factory invoice. Thank goodness...how ugly would that color combination be? |
Jeff, was it an M20 or M21 car?
