70 Formula 535

[Nicks67GTO]

I plan to drive the car a lot, and once it's built, I don't want to feel the need to revisit anything. I have other cars to keep me occupied--I want the Forumla to be available to drive whenever and where ever I want.



Nick, I agree with you about 67 GTOs. I own one too, an HO 4-speed convertible stroked 462, HR roller, worked 670 heads, cliff built carb, but looks absolutely bone stock. It's reliable and a blast to drive, but with factory suspension, brakes, m20, 3.55 gears, etc., it's definitely not a touring car or something you want to carve corners with. I want to take the Formula much further in the performance realm.

Kevin, thanks for the links. I'm new to these Forums and pro-touring.

I have a factory stock 70 TA that I took for a long drive early this morning. I never realized how much I slide around in the seat…I'm thinking aftermarket seats are in my future.

Post up some shots of that 67! I will say this since you mentioned the handling of your 67'...I went from bone stock to an SC&C stage II suspension in my car with ridetech HQ shocks and even with the current 15" wheels and 11" TRSD 4 wheel discs it handles and stops like a new car in comparison to the stock stuff. You could probably do that stuff and still look stock
