Hey Bill, I feel the EXACT way! I just absolutely LOVE the SD455 Formula 'Birds but that wide brake pedal down there below the dash just sorta kills it for me.

I agree; I think I like the SD Formulas; especially the '73's, better than the TA's although a nice Brewster Green 4 speed wouldn't suck.

Very rare car, 1 of 33 Formula SD-455's (auto trans) made, and 1 of 3 that were Florentine Red. Definitely a sleeper back in the day.

What did they make, something like 10 4-speeds? With a car like this, you guys can't be so picky!

I'll make you a deal: You buy this car and I'll trade you for my 72 (it has the extra pedal you're lookin' for!)
