Yup, it's a very nice car, but, it's not a total restoration. Lot's of things have been changed with aftermarket parts, which is understandable unless you're going to make a trailer queen ou of it. There's also some misinformation given at various points, such as 273 blocks are the same as a 340 (nonsense) and that a heavy duty radiator was standard on a Formula S (it is on an A/C car, but, otherwise was an option). They claim that everything was pulled for a repaint, so, it was like what the factory would have done, but, you can see the trunk wasn't repainted and the fuel filler neck was in the car when it was. If someone wants to buy this car and bring it back to stock, you would need to replace all the various aftermarket parts (including, but, not limited to...belts, hoses, battery and cables, radiator cap, plug wires, etc) with NOS originals or restoration parts that look like originals. Other stuff other than what Dan mentioned about the brake fluid reservoir.....it's got a later squareback alternator and regulator, the jack is held down with a bungee cord with the jack base out of place, along with improper hold down parts, the trunk hinge covers are misadjusted, Wrong trunk lid prop, wrong fuel inlet line to the carb, the zip tie for the heater hoses isn't stock, the fender tag is upside down, wrong windshield washer tee, wrong hood pad clips (and probably didn't even come with a hood pad), wrong sway bar link bolts, and it's had a major driveshaft mod. Like I said, it's a nice car and I'm sure that price was an issue with some stuff, but, they seem to be selective on patting themself on the back with certain items they bought for it and ignore other items that are just as important. Oh, and one other thing that always bugs me, not necessarily with this car, but, with most descriptions of what is included with a Formula S, and that is the "bolt-on" wheel covers. The DON"T bolt on! They hammer on just like most any other wheel cover, hub cap, or trim ring. There, end of rant!
