Very nice! When it comes to ‘Birds I’ve always been more of a Formula guy than a T/A guy!

White Pilot was a hubcap car too.

Was just thinking about the fact that I get just as excited about a car like this as I do a Yenko, Copo etc. And they are alot cheaper.

Nor have I. I didn't even know it was a possibility as I thought they came standard with fancier wheels. The poverty caps do give it that "sleeper" look though.

To be honest, the hook for me was the originality and the four speed. I appreciate cars that don't look like the rest and the Formula 400 is also more appealing to me than the TA, maybe just an age thing, who knows? I like the low option cars and appreciate that in 76 when it was ordered, someone put the effort to check the boxes that were important and could afford. Seller also sent PHS with build info which I can appreciate.

Spare tire delete and a note that the tire will be given to the dealer when available? Were they low on those base rims or something?
