Default low option '70 Formula on eBay

late last week I was told about an oddly optioned, and lightly customized '70 4 speed Formula on eBay.

It is supposed to have been owned by the same guy for roughly(?) fifty years, then the current owner for the last year.
I hope it wasn't the current owner who added the terrible (imho) two-tone interior... or hte custom stitched door panels (I almost missed that they were not correct/original - but restiched to look similar to original).

The video seems to lend credence to this being a great/solid runner too...

VIDEO HERE







Last Friday when I looked at it, it was at (I believe) $8,100, and it's currently sitting at $15,800 with just over six days to go.

Options as I see it are:
- power steering
- console
- AM radio
- Wide ratio four speed
- recessed wipers
*no gauges
*manual brakes
*no wheel option
*no steering wheel option

Curiously, it's a Van Nuys car, which is purported to be original, but it appears to have a non-Ca Quadrajet... maybe I'm wrong, but I thought all VN cars left with CA_carbs?
