Anyone have any background on this particular car? From the internet blogging it looks like it was repossessed along with the rest of this guy's collection and is going to be at the Mecum auction. That 70 RAIV T/A that was previously discussed is also part of the collection.

There cant be that many red SD Formulas out there (supposedly 1 of 3 Florentine red cars, 1 of 33 autos). Anyone know this car or who restored it, or any other useful info?

Thanks

Something about this car turns me on, its such a second gen sleeper.
Never seen this one in the show field?

Brew, Let me step back for a minute. I like it as well, Com'on Brew lets go and bid on it...

[Brewster]

OK, Maybe Puresd would like to go and we could have a ROAD TRIP on our hands.

Who wants to pull bandit and clear a path ?
Going to need a chicken for that cooler earlier then I thought!

I'm thinking about going. People at these auctions don't like Pontiacs. Would be nice to be there in person to see them roll across. No friggin commercials for me!!! lol

[Brewster]

I wish I could go since never been to an auction let alone one of high quaitly lke Mecum. Heard its like going to the best of the best cars shows ?

Craig, figure out our reserve yet? Im thinking its going to be tooooooooooooooooo low.

I think'n about going too, maybe we should get a forum discount?

Brew, I do know that our opening bid will be 100.00, but I don't think it will hold up. We really should go, I'm serious.. You can see what it all about for when you stick your babies in the Saint Charles Auction

wtf!?

ok, I'm now questioning myself here...

background:
I attended the 2006 Trans Am Nationals;
in attendance was a gentleman with a a freshly restored 1970 RAIV/4spd white TA;
the same guys had a 1973 SD455 burgand on oxblood Formula ~ but I thought his SD was a stick...

considering hte number of '73 SD455+W66 ~ let alone burgandy (or what ever it's called) with oxblood interior ~ now I'm wondering if I was mistaken, and in fact these are the same cars...

if so, the 70 & 73 were spectacular.

Rick Mahoney's Florentine Red '73 SD Formy is most likely the one you saw. Rick's IS a stick car, and a poverty cap car as well. IIRC, Rick also has a IV T/A (among many other nice Pontiacs).
