For Sale:

1988 Formula
5 spd, A/C, cruise, sunroof, rear defrost
Bright Red with gray interior
94,339 miles

$2,600.00


Overall the car is in very good shape. No rust on the undercarriage. The brake lines still look new.
Mechanically it is in very good shape. It starts fine, shifts very smoothly, brakes well (firm pedal).
The only known problems are an intermittent cruise control. It works for maybe 5 minutes then cuts
out. It also throws the common EGR related code 32. The A/C blows cold. Has Dunlop
D60 A2 tires in stock sizes and deep tread left.

Cosmetically it is in good to very good shape. Paint is in good condition with no areas of
worn out clearcoat. The interior has a rip in the armrest and there was a dime sized tear
in the drivers seat bolster over which an iron-on patch was applied to prevent further wear. The
carpets are good condition with no fading. The dash is sound with no fading or cracks
( no broken vent corners). The car hasn't been smoked in since I've had it and when I bought the
car I detected no smoke smell. It has been garage kept.


Here are a couple pictures ....

I'm selling this car so I can devote more resources (particularly time) to my other Formula
and '87 coupe.

The car is located in the Watertown area (about 60 miles north of Syracuse along I81)

Thanks

Rear defog and crank windows? What an odd combination of options....
Still, that is a BEAUTIFUL Formula!!!

Good luck with the sale. If I didn't already have a Formula, I'd be jumping all over this.

Formula = 1988
Steering wheel horn paddles = 1984 (?)

I'm confused. Did the formulas and base coupes get paddle horns through all the years?

Can't speak for any other years than an 88, but he's got the right wheel for an 88 Formula.

88 GT's had a three spoke wheel, 88 Formulas and 88 Coupes had paddle horns.

I believe in NY all cars are required to have rear de-foggers.

looks real clean, need a caprice 9C1?

YES IT HAS ! Thanks again Lee, it''s a beautiful car. I still can't believe I was lucky enough to snap it up.

The trip home is documented in this path. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Archives/Archive-000002/HTML/20060206-1-052636.html

Here's a small example of that path,

As a joke, I handed Lee a 1,000,000 dollar bill, wondering if he’d accept it. Of course, it was a fake bill.
Needless to say, I gave him the real cash and made the deal.




Thanks again Lee. It was nice meeting you & your Dad. I enjoyed talking Corvairs with him.
