Kevin, I dont know how you keep going at this pace. It is all cool and I suppose that is part of the driving force. Keep it up.

Your gonna need to buy another adjacent parcel of land soon.

I'm not real familiar with usdm muscle, but the firebirds have always been a pretty cool ride. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

I so much prefer the smaller rear window on this body style.

The brown car is a Formula 400.

It was used for storage.

There were some good finds...

Clean OEM core support.

4 speed shifter sheet metal

Valences...

I think you gut the formula for everything it's worth, fix yellow car as the high school recreation. 

Dump the leftovers or worst of the pile right off the top for space

The brown car was originally code 67 Castillian Bronze.

This is an example from the internet:

1971 Pontiac Firebird Formula 455 HO

I could be off base but I see two restorable cars. I'd hate to see one discarded for parts.

I agree. Its really more of a question of which one will I take on?

After probate, assuming I have title to both, I'll try to find a good home for the 'runner up'.

So the formula is more solid than it appears in pictures? That is really good to hear!
