Fun Machine Is Sold
:sad: :sad: :sad: For financial and garage space reasons, I had to sell my '02 Formula. A guy who is some kind of manager at a "Ford" Dealership near Lexington Kentucky drove 6hrs in a snow storm today to come and look at it. One look, and it was sold...gone! :sad: My Mustang/Camaro killer is gone :sad: But wait!! :D :D Still gotta feed the need for speed, so now I'll have more money for mods on the Vette :D I fell better already... now where did I put those Jegs & Summit catalogs :D

Good way to look at the bright side. Don't forget, that guy that bought your formula will loose equity over the next couple of years, not you though, you got a vette!!!!! :yesnod:

Don't worry, at least the Vette will keeps its value. Who needs an LS1 Formula when you have mod money? :cool:

Re: Fun Machine Is Sold (Jman)
Jman, I gotta say, right back at you. That is one beautiful 82 you have there. 82 is one of the next models I would love to have, been looking, but haven't seen any THAT nice. Thanks for the compliment, let me know if you wanna trade ;)

Re: Fun Machine Is Sold (Silvr77)
Thanks. I haven't had it that long (1 month) but I've been enjoying every minute of it since I bought it. I'm doing everything I can to make it street "legal" and fast. The fun part comes standard with all C3's, but unfortunately the fast part is not there so I'm working on it. It should respond well to a rebuild, descent cam, headers, ported intake and heads, cat, and exhaust. Also, I'm going to install a 7747 chip so Ken and I can tweek the performance out with the new mods.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I knew I could count on you for some good trash talk :jester :jester Actually, when I get the wheels I am dealing for, and finish some of the detailing, I will borrow a camera and post pics. Hopefully in a month or so.
Alwyn: I'm going to do some homework over the next few months, and decide what intake, cam, and exhaust I want. All components will go in at the same time. The Formula was a big drain financially, so money will be available in a few months. I've haven't seen my 15yr old son cry in a long time. He did when the Formula went. Obviously he planed on being "KING" in the high school parking lot next year!!! :cry :cry :cry
