Not a Mopar, but they're still out there

Man that's a great find !
I would guess its lower miles from the look of it inside and out

It’s got 81k on it, not a perfect car, few small rust holes and leather seats need a little repair, gas tank, lines etc. also need attention but I’ll enjoy bringing it back

@Under Pressure that's a cool Formula
I have a thing (Out of the closet) for Pontiacs, Tin Indians & Ponchos
had quite a few GTOs, bunch of gen 2, 3, 4 Trans Ams & 1st gen Firebird 400s
71 Formula 400, also had a later Formula Firehawk 'SLP Performance' 1992

you could bump up the power on that anemic 301
a good free flowing exhaust, shorty headers maybe/mid length
nice modern intake & decent carb (or use what it has), gauze air-filter (like K&N)
higher rocker ratio, pick up 40-50 hp & still be really dependable too
some wider tires, good shock & new sway-bar bushing, brakes (?) go have fun

Very cool

Not just Rockford... the Rockford.

I believe that maneuver was named after the show character.

It was the kicks back when the show was on, 'Do a Rockford turn.' I did it a few times and much earlier once unintentionally when racing a guy backwards. How I didn't find the ditch or a mailbox nearby I'll never know. Pure good luck.

Pulling some of the interior yesterday and found the building sheet behind the rear seat.

found the building sheet behind the rear seat

The sheet is in remarkably good condition. Nice bonus.

Agree, better condition than my GTX’s
