Rick, that's the one that was on ebay a few years ago. Looks awesome - We need more photos now!

Re: 72 Formula 455HO/4 spd
 

hey Steve, I remember two special paint black '72 455HO's on eBay in the last 3-4 years, this one may have been the one that was for sale in PA, or the one in the LA area? I get them mixed up. If I remember correctly, one said the original owner claimed the car was delivered in factory primer and painted at the dealer upon arrival. Would be interesting to see what was still on the cowl sides of these cars.

Actually, I think they were the same car, yours. I recently contacted the PA guy that originally listed the Wilson Pontiac car in Oct 2008 (I still have the Wilson Pontiac PHS in my archives of photos - last 2 digits of VIN are &quot;89&quot;) and he said he sold it to a guy out in CA who then immediately flipped it, most likely to you. Glad to see it went to a worthy home. If you ever want to &quot;flip it&quot; back to the east coast, I'd love to have it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

I wish that one were mine too, I just have the one Revere Silver eternal project.

Ok, now I understand, you have one but it's not that black one.

Sorry, about that. English is my second language...Jersey is my primary. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Re: 72 Formula 455HO/4 spd
 

Rick,great looking 72,what was the build date on your car,it would be interesting if they were going down the assembly line together,with so many of the same options,is your data plate double slash where the paint code is supposed to be also?

Well at least we still have a smile on our face.

Re: 72 Formula 455HO/4 spd
 

I changed a bit quick from mentioning my car to the picture of the black car!
Most special paint Firebirds including the '72 Black T/A seemed to get the double dashes, but I do remember one '71 Formula 455 on Performance Years that had the 19 19 for Starlight Black on the data tag.
