1970 Formula 400 RAIII.
400 Ram Air III, Muncie 4-speed Close Ratio trans, 3:73 Limited Slip Rear. Heavy Duty Suspension. 44k original miles. Lucerne Blue ext./Bright Blue int. Picture taken before start of restoration. This is one of the rare Formulas. All numbers match and the car is 100% original. Right down to the AM radio.This Formula is basically a RAIII Trans AM in Formula clothing. This type Formula was only available for 6 months. I am still investigating how many are in existance, so anyone with information please contact me or you can always find me at www.Firebird Nation.com . My username there is "RamAirThree".

Still has original radio installed, notice the pull knob for the carburator manual choke above the radio next to cigarette lighter, still unsure of this as I get some who say it was added and some say this was dealer installed.
