Welcome! I think you'll enjoy it a lot. I have an A4 Formula, and fell in love with it.

Nice to find one close to stock. How many miles? NBM is a good color too.

NBM is one of my favorite colors on the f-body. I was looking for one in that color when I bought my black 99 TA, then I gave my mustang away. It was an '82 5.0HO with about 250,000 miles and really bad brakes. The Trans Am was a huge step up for me.

Enjoy the car. Hope you got enough money from selling the stangs to get the formula new wheels.

Welcome. I went from Mustangs/Hondas to my 1st LS1 which is an 01 Formula I picked up a few weeks ago. The right choice by far.
