Clear Florida title in my hand...

All body and vin tags are in place. Dash vin and door vin tag are in place as well as body/trim tag is in place. Original sticker by radiator showing it wasa 455 from the factory.

This car runs fantastic down the road at any speed.Dual exhaust is newer and sounds awesome. The engine was upgraded/rebuilt in 2009 with over $10,000 in receipts on the rebuild. Also $750 recondition/rebuild ontransmission in 2015. Nice Performance upgrades. This bird is quick. Over $2000 in aluminum heads and upgraded intake and new carburetor. The extra partsI would guess are worth $1500-$2000,I was toldthe extrapartsarethe originalheads, exhaust manifolds, oil panand intake, that were removed on the $10,000 rebuild. Original Intake manifold casting # is 492744 dated L092,Heads are 4Xdated L082.Previous owner stated it has still the original 455 HO engine in the carand these were the originalparts for it. I'm noPontiac motor head but I did find in the front of the block a YC code but was unable to find the vincasting numbersdue to it being behind the timing mark and I cant see it. I did see onthe back of the block a 73 on theblock.I'mwilling to lookfor more numbers if the experts want to give me locations to look. But thepreviousowner has had the Formula here in Florida for close to 20 years and said no doubt itis a numbers matchingcar. I just found what I could so far.

The underside of this 455 is in super condition. Theprevious owner said it had always been garage kept and it looks like it by the body and undercarriage. There is like 3bubbles behinddrivers and passengersdoor. Super easy fixes and very useable as is. The front nose has asome lines fromsomeone leaning on it and it could use a repaint oryoujust leave this caralone and drive it as it looks damn good.

The car has all 5 original Honeycomb rims. The car also has over $1500 in 15x8 American racing rims and nicetires on it. The spare is even new.

The interior and headlinerare pretty much original and in good driver condition. A crack in center of the dash. I BELIEVE IT IS possiblyA 1 OF 1 1973, 455 FORMULA WITH THE REAR BACKSEAT CENTER CONSOLE. I have not found another one like it online anywhere with rear center console/arm rest. From what I have read, less than 5% of all Pontiac vehicles had this option ordered and Pontiac ended this option. So for it to be in a 455 sports car has to be unheard of from what I see.

The Formula is available for viewing in Punta Gorda, Fl. My 455 formula is available for viewing or for a drive anytime by you or anyone you want to have look at it. I'm very proud of what I'm selling and encourageyou to take a look or a drive.I live in Punta Gorda

I wanted to ad that onthe455 Formula its shows on the special order it had air when new. I don't have the air unit. I also don't have the original air cleaner. It doesn't say on the special order sheet about the ram air so I'm not sure if that was an add on option or how to see if that's anoriginal feature with the Ram Air hood that's on it?
