Cool article. Thanks for posting. I’d like to have a formula someday if I were ever to have a 2nd bird. My wife will likely disagree with the 2nd bird part but I can dream right? I hardly see them around me though. There is one 70 Firebird I’m aware of, a 71 Esprit and a 77 formula a guy poorly cloned as a T/A. I’m getting off topic but I did see a 77 Skybird last year locally. I’d consider a base bird for that matter though.

Thats a nice car. Same one I was referring to in the formula thread. Article is a reprint out of their muscle machines publication. There has been a lot of discussion on another forum about Hemmings in general. I for one love their stuff, but the direction they are heading in seems to be the wrong way. I too got this online article in email. So, why subscribe to a magazine when all I need to do is wait for a month and the same thing will be on the net?

We caught them lying in an article about our stuff a decade ago - though they did not mention us by name.  I called for a clarification and McNessor ran and hid behind their legal skirts.

I ran into him at SEMA - he did not like that at all and literally scurried away.
