Default Back in a Fbody! But LT1 this time around....

So I sold my 99 Z28 last year and got a beater for the winter...

Since it started getting warm around here I was getting F-body fever. Found a deal I couldn't pass on a white 95 Formula so I took her home!

2 Owner car in near mint shape sans a couple of scratches. This thing is CLEAN for a 95. 104K miles on it with a freshly rebuilt tranny and bone stock other than a flowmaster. Its been well taken care of!

Well after getting out of an LS1 and into a 88 toyota 4x4 for nearly a year the ol LT1 feels pretty quick lol.
I'm sure the bug will bite soon. Prob have a full exhaust/gears/stall by the end of the summer if I still have it.

Looks good.

You are now qualified to enter the LTX Shootout.

Head over to KCIR this weekend and enter the car. We could use a few more racers. A stock car like yours would do well in the bracket competition.

Hey nice car! And only 44K!? wow! I swear this one runs like its got 44K but I'm sure yours is a tad nicer up close.
I'm trying to score a set of chrome c5 thin 5 spokes, I think those look great on the formulas

Nice find!

Nothing wrong with gettin into an LT1 after an LS1.

I did the same thing in January of 2007..I sold my T/A so I could pay some bills and ended up in my 96 Z28...It was win, win..I was out of debt and still ended up with a fun car.

Only 44k because I had kind of an unusual situation. LONG story.... to make a long story short... at one point I had 5 cars!!!!!!!!!! I still have 3 now!!!!!
I actually sold 2 of them before ga$ went to what it is now.... the two v6 cars

I sorta of wish I had one of the V6's now as a DD, but I now only have v8s Who would have thought that would be a bad thing

Btw.... I also looked at the C5 rims and almost went that route.... only I opted for the c6 wheels when I saw them on a Black Trans Am here.

Haha, yeah I've been in the multiple car situation before, but I never held onto any one of them for an extended ammount of time so I never got the benefits of keeping miles off of one.. I think I had at one time: 94 mustang GT, 88 Mustang GT, 91 Eagle Talon TSi, and a 91 Ford Festiva, then a 01 GSXR 750 and a 96 900RR all at once.. Insurance owned me
