1973 Firebird Formula 455HO on Craigslist
Any one see this one yet? looks pretty original. To me the sunlight yellow is just very blah.
http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/5342723818.html I believe my title is misleading don't believe this is an HO car.

Here also. I am interested. Anyone close that could look? Was Ram Air still an option in 73? Price high or decent? Wonder how frame rails are?

To me the price seems very low, you ca't find one in europe under €20.000 in good original condition.

Great potential......still has the plastic front valance....
It needs a clutch pedal Floors look pretty good...considering the area it's from.... I had a 73 Esprit parts car about 20 years ago in the same colors....kind of a lame combination..

I'm starting to like yellow more and more. May have to get one soon.
Anyone else prefer that the carpet would have been left in even though it was in poor shape. Stuff like date codes, seat bolt covers and hardware always seem to disappear along with the carpet. |

That is some really bad winshield/dash corner rust. If it has progressed that far there can't be anything left under the cowl edges. Very sad. It's a cool car and still has the polyethylene valnce, too!

I show 533 Formulas had the Ram Air hood.
Don't know whether they were all 455 or combo with 400. Also not sure where it came from, either HPP or Fred. (or probably HPP got it from Fred)

Neat car with some nice options. Certainly worth of reviving...

It's NOT really always an indication of a seriously rusty car.... It's far easier to repair.... than rear quarters/tail panels or frame rails...and can be done standing up....

The rusty dash doesn't scare me but I would definitely want to see the rails before jumping.
