[pedro gonzalez]

btw not a bs story pics to come!living in the rustbelt there are alot of junk projects,last year this time my pals tow shop in wi, towed in an extremely clean 77 formula 400,aside from the top engine fire it suffered fire dept sawed the hood in an ''x'' to extinguish and was put out quick t so it was minor i told him if it wasnt claimed by customer or insurance let me know and a year went by with no response,end result i bought because insurance didnt want the car, after negotiating a price of 500 dollars he kept the snowflakes,turns out car is from albuquerque new mexico,it came factory with 400 cid, auto, a half vinyl top,white vinyl seats,all else is blue,rear factory console between seat,8 track center console,ac,wdw,locks,cruise,all sheetmetal is original and rustfree even under vinyl top obvious it was always garage kept.my other car is a 79 ta on my profile,''protour it with stock exterior look''?

Very cool.....what a great find!
Definately pro-tour it - with a stock(ish) look....maybe Year One 17x9 Snowflakes or their 17x9 Rally IIs....they look great and will give you some good sized rubber.
