Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
Pm sent. Stuart , your name is also one that I remember from back in the good old days. I used to live and breathe on these sites lol. Unfortunately with a chage of life and hobbies the time has come. I swore I would never sell it but I've only put a handful of "pity" miles on it in the past few years. I believe it's time for somebody else to enjoy this car as much as I've enjoyed it.

Outside of the sale, do you have pictures of how the passengers side brake line is routed? I'm just looking for ideas of how to route mine.

Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
Body is in great shape. However the car does have 98K miles on the body. There are a few paint chips and so forth. The OEM Aero wing does have cracking like all other rubber aero wings. Zero interior leaks. Paints in nice shape. The front clip does have some spider cracking. No flaked paint. Rims are in great shape. No curb rash. All weights mounted on inside. All 4 WS6 caps in nice shape. Have other WS6 caps to go along with car in the even one should loose one. Electric hatch works as should. Power mirrors and windows work. Power locks unlock but are sometimes weak to lock. Heat works fine. Car was originally an AC car but the system was removed about 15 years ago. I'm older and wiser now and prob would have kept it.

Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
Great car, was swapped at the same time I did mine.
Lots of quality parts, price is more than reasonable for a turnkey car!
Mkos1980, sad to see you sell, but I understand. My Z28 rarely gets the road time it needs, I can't part with mine since I've owned it since high school!

Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
Same here. I bought it right out of High school as well. Its been 20 years but the time has come. This car deserves to be driven and enjoyed. Your cant build this condition of car and add these modifications for nearly what I am asking.
new Price $11,500

Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
Man, if this was a T56, I would definitely sell off my project and buy this in a heartbeat. Especially with you being in Macedonia, so close.....
GLWS, absolutely beautiful car. Someone is going to literally steal that car at that price.

Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
You put together a beautiful well done car, very nice!!!
If for some odd reason somebody doesn't ****** up this deal and you still have it this summer, try to get out in it. Take it to the TA Nats. Maybe your blood will flow again for it. You've had it this long, hate for it to be one of those 'one that I should have kept' cars for you in years to come. Such a nice car!

Re: 1989 Formula 350 LSX
Well see. I lost the feeling after everything was done and your car sold. Hopefully this young guy will appreciate this car as much as I did. Greg and Reggie will not be happy with me...
