Default 1976 Formula Update

Quick thank you to all the folks in this community that offered input and observations on the 7900 mile 76 Formula discussed a couple of weeks ago. It is on the truck and heading to Douglas MA (about 35 miles west of Boston), truly a town that seems to be stuck in time (maybe 1980) so the car will fit right in. After many pictures and several Facetime walk arounds and test drives, we got it done. I also realized it was time to officially join as a Member given the time and guidance that this site provides. As a lurker for many years, membership was long overdue.
Thanks again!
Scott

I recall seeing a cool image of one of the 1976 formula pilots in plant at Norwood in mid 1975. When I find it I will post it.

Thanks Charley. I met the driver last night (3AM) to get the car. We had bad weather in the Northeast and wanted to get it put away before they dropped a ton of salt.

The car is a time capsule, doors shut like new, paint has really nice shine, trunk is spotless and very original, interior is like new, AM radio, carpets and seats in excellent shape.
Dropped it about a mile from my house as he had a 53 foot enclosed trailer and tried to make it easy on him. Runs and drives nice. Once we get a break in the weather will put up some updated pics. He sent the PHS with it and also the title history from new that reflects the mileage over the years through the two owners it had. At this point I have no question or concern that the mileage being what is claimed.
It will be a nice car to have and drive and I think these are poised for a value bump over the next five years which doesn't hurt though my daughter (26 years old) has already called dibs on it.
Thanks again.
