Not to take this discussion too far off course...has anyone here ever had (OR SEEN) an SD455 Formula? There couldn't have been too many of those made...

I guess I was pretty close with my original value estimate. I said $37K and it sold for $36,600.

I'll take this one with a B/S and without a "door prize" for about the same cabbage-

Seems like a fair price if the mileage is factual,but it's a dealer..

I does look nice from where I sit: 1000 miles away. I bet that if it has that Pep Boys plastic fuel filter then it no longer has its original carb. No a/c though. If the body is nice up close, it would be a bargain. Original spare tire too.

20,000 original miles and the original air cleaner is gone???? Makes me wonder just after taking a quick look under the hood.

Nice catch on the air cleaner, very observant. That's another $2000 part missing from the car. If it has the late model base it must have the late model shaker as well....another high $$$$$ part to locate.

Well, you didn't think I was gonna pay more than 37k after I asked for your estimate did you? The car will be in Athens Sunday.

Well that scares me that someone out there actually pays attention to what I say??!! Good luck on the car. Looks like an amazing piece. A year from now that will be looked at as a bargain price. (It's double what I paid for mine back in November, 2004) Feel free to email me some photos. I will be happy to trade info if you need help. Also I emailed the seller that the original dealership is still in business up here in Jersey. He posted the address info in the auction. Maybe I can stop by one of these days and check it out for you.
