Neat cars. That 1973 would be one of the forty-three SD455 Formulas built (and one of 9 Ascot silver automatics). If it is the one I am thinking of, it would be the automatic with an original warranty service replacement engine that was for sale for a long time on ebay by some classic car dealer (Willholt?) out west. Someone finally bought it a year or so ago and seems to be enjoying the heck out of it now. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

13.90 is a nice number for an off-the-street SD455. With some fine tuning they really can run. Lots of potential there in carb tuning alone. Nice to see a 8.4-to-1 compression engine running with the monster 12-to-1 compression cars.
