Yes the fender badge said Formula 400 but it had me wondering if it’s a mock up car because no rear spoiler.

I always preferred the Camaros and Chevelles from around this time period anyway.
I didn't think that the Formula had a spoiler in the back, could be wrong though?

Friend of mine had a 74 formula 350, and no rear spoiler. So possibly that was an option.

An old lady in her 70s drove this - for sale too. She hit it exiting the lot!

PS if you ever see the guy in the light blue shirt at a car show - run! He's from Boston and apparently knows everything about every possible car. He quizzed us when we first met him a few months ago - when he finally stopped gabbing 30 minutes later, he said, "see - I know more about your cars than you do!"

He's at every local car show and never stops talking - kinda amazing actually.

PS he drives a mediocre C6 vette which he's trying to sell

I'm not sure what their thinking is behind keeping the name. It should be a Edge-E or something like that.
I suspect they may try to make Mustang a brand rather than a model (like dodge did with “Ram”). I think they’re trying that already with the Mustang cars. My buddy’s 2019 Mustang GT convertible only has two Ford logos on it. One in the engine bay, and the other is barely visible as dark silhouette in the upper windscreen.

Could be. Tho with the GT350 there are no mustang logos anywhere. Not sure if they did the same with the GT500

You didn't have to mention the C6. We saw the New Balance sneakers. :)

I only brought my Factory Five to a few things. Everyone has to tell you how you should have built it. "OK, you do it that way when you're writing the checks". A properly built 427 side oiler can cost nearly as much as I have in the whole car.

Cleaning out the garage and ran across my old (was my dads) AFX stuff. Some of these cars don’t run and got scavenged to make others live but man the body styles! Doubt they’re worth anything but seeing the Gulf GT40 is pretty cool.

edit: found a bunch more bodies including the legendary 917. Neat. 6A7E4E99-909F-45AC-BC69-EDECEC27FC1E.jpeg
