Default Howdy from a newbie!

Howdy yall!

I am a newbie, having just got my first Pontiac. Not that I am not a car junkie, I just tended to more modern european hardware. I have had a few Mustangs, and have been looking for the ride that I have always wanted that one of your members recently found for me!

Now the proud owner of a 2nd owner 1973 Formula 455, 4 speed, AC, CA car in guardsman red with black interior. It has the functional ram air, runs well and needs only minor touches to be cherry.

I look forward to tapping into your vast knowledge as I get this car cherried out and start showing it locally.

Just have to remodel the garage/man cave so that I have a place to park it!

Welcome to the forums. That is indeed a very nice Formula.

Santa Fe is just a little detour. I'll be by in a week or two to pick it up on my way back from Reno.

I prefer a Formula over a TA any day of the week. I miss my 79 Formula. Enjoy yours and don't let it sit still too much.

WELCOME!
Your car reminds me of my buddy's 73 SD Trans Am. Only car that had more top speed than I had nerves! I'm sure you'll find a lot here on the forums. Again, WELCOME!

Welcome!

Nice car. I used to have a 73 Formula 400, and I love the 2nd gen Formulas.

I'm gettin' a little bit jelly, m'kay?
