there are some pics of it from before it was primered there too. these are fairly old pics, so the Mallory ignition isnt in them. if you want more i can grab my digital and send you some.

man does that ever make me want another one. I had an 81 formula as my first hotrod w/a big block chevy and loved that car. but then the Iroc bug bit and I sold it to eventually get an Iroc.
anyways, sounds like a great price wish I could ****** it up. why did you primer it anyways? how long has it been in primer? what trans is in the car? power options? 4 whl disc's? just tryin to help. it does look very solid from the pics. how about rust?
good luck sellin it. if its as nice as it looks in the pics, shouldnt be too hard.

the story behind the primer is that it had a some scratches in the paint, and was startign to develop surface rust, so i sanded them down and primered and sealed them, but I didnt want a spotted car, so I primered the whole thing. you probalby cant tell from the pics, but I went over the stickers and all. at that time I just wanted a single color, and figured I would remove the stickers at my leisure then came the camaro and i spent all my tinkering time on that. also the pics dont show it well, but the paint was very faded, in fact the tops of the fenders werent red anymore they were gold....
it has power windows and locks, though the locks dont work, i have no idea why, again because of the camaro. its a 350 trans, but is built up. you can definetly feel it shift. the guy I bought it off had a built 455 in it running 12.30-12.40's with the same trans.
