Default FS: 1995 LT4 Formula...

Well guys the time has come to sell my pride and joy. Just kinda lost interest in her and looking to get something old to work on. Car is very solid and should be a blast for someone over the summertime. This car can make long trips (did ~3300 miles roundtrip last summer on the PowerTour and just did ~1500 miles roundtrip on the LTx shootout).

Here is a breakdown of the mods =

Engine = rebuilt stock bottom end 350 LT1 (about 15,000 miles on motor). Stage 2 LT4 heads that have been worked over with 2.02 intake/1.60 exhaust Ferrara race valves. Comp Cams 1.6 NSA 7/16 roller rockers. Ported LT4 intake manifold. CC-306 camshaft. ARP bolts throughout motor. LT4 knock module. Comp cams stock length Chromoly pushrods. Comp Cams OEM lifters. New OPTIspark.

Transmission = 6 speed with a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch. B&M Ripper Shifter. Short Stick

Rear End = 12-bolt Moser Rear with 31 spline axles and 3.73 Motive gears.

Induction/Exhaust = K&N FIPK Gen 2. 1LE intake elbow. 58mm Throttle Body. Pacesetter Longtubes going into true duals which are dumped before the rear axle.

Suspension = Hotchkis springs front/rear. Bilstein HD shocks front/rear. BMR STB. BMR dual-adjustable PHR. LGmotorsports SFCs. BMR boxed rear LCAs. UMI adjustable Torque arm. LGmotorsports Driveshaft safety loop.

Brakes = Baer Track kit front (13.1 inch rotors and 2 piston Baer calipers) and stock rear LT1 brakes with stainless braided brake lines all around

Wheels/Tires = 17x9.5 and 17x11 American Racing Torque thrust 2s with the centers black powder-coated. Brand new Continental 275-40-zr17 tires in front and Goodyear Eagle GS-D3 rear 315-35-zr17s with about 75-80 % tread

Interior = Silver faced gauges and a Harlan shift light

Exterior = Suncoast Creations Predator ram air hood. GTS rear Taillight blackouts. Black LS1 style FORMULA badges on doors. Tinted windows.

MISC. = Car has about 81000 miles on the chassis and around 15000 on the rebuilt motor. Car is power windows, locks. A/C blows cold. Car has brass headlight gears installed so you don't have to worry about the grinding noise from the stock nylon gears.

Bad = Tranny is going to need to be rebuilt soon. Can still shift into every gear okay, but reverse is getting hard to get. Gauges are off on the MPH. This occured when I put a set of silver faced gauges in the car. The ram-air hood has a slight bit of warpage on the driver side by the headlight. Driveshaft needs to be balanced as you get some slight vibration at around 80mph.

If the car didn't have a couple things wrong with it, I feel it could bring in 8500 to $9000.00 Seeing as how there is a couple things that need to get fixed. I am putting the car up for sale for $7750.00 I might be interested in some trades, but it has to be for another vehicle ( no bikes, ATVs, jet skis...nothing like that).

Forgot to mention this car dynoed 385rwhp and 376rwtq throught the 12bolt. Car is good for low 12s on motor and should be low 11s with spray.

Car also has 37# Racetronix Injectors and a Racetronix 255lph Fuel Pump along with their upgraded wiring harness.

Thats a pretty rare car there your giving away. That hood was a bitch to fit on wasn't it. I can vouch for this car with the mods pretty much similar to mine it will scoot. Put the bottle on it and easy 11's. Wish mine wasnt down right now. I know somebody that needs a F-body

Thanks guys for all the kind words. The car really is a blast. I get looks, compliments at gas stations, etc...all the time. It's just that this was my weekend/cruise car and now my daily driver just got totalled. I just can't see the point in paying 3.79 a gallon for gas and it being my everyday driver.

Looking at getting a supercharged Range Rover. Big pimpin

When I was 18 in '96 I went to the dealership hoping to pick up a Formula, unfortunately I left with a Firebird. If I was in a better place right now I'd pick your car up, I love the LT1 style Formulas.
