I almost bought a black 1972 455HO Formula that was in California in the mid-1980s. It was an automatic with a/c car, and I seem to remember it being fairly loaded. I was travelling for work at the time and was in the Los Angeles area. The Formula was owned by a fairly young actor at the time. The body was super, but it had some brake and steering issues and there was no way I would trust it to drive cross-country. Plus it was summer and the a/c didn't work.
I only had one day to see about making arrangements to get it to the east coast before leaving LA. I went home without it, but was looking at auto transport companies as soon as I got home. It ended up selling a few days later, so I missed it.
I later talked to somebody on this board that I think owns it. It was a neat car. I think I still have some photos of it from about 1984 - 1986 or so.
