1973 Pontiac Formula SD-455
This 1973 Formula SD-455 was found on E-Bay back in 2013. It had 19k original miles and was well cared for by its original owners. The car was bought by Steve Segal and a few years later the original owners were invited to the MCACN show in Rosemont, IL to see their car again. The original owner had ordered the car through Suburban Pontiac in Glen Head, NY and it was delivered in late July, 1973. He had ordered the car with 26 options including a/c, rally gauges, honeycomb wheels, tilt wheel, electric rear window defroster, and the Y99 Handling Package that consisted of 15x7 wheels, GR70x15 white letter tires, and heavy duty suspension. -

The SD-455 engine was originally earmarked for the 1973 Formula, Trans Am, LeMans, GTO, Grand Am, and Grand Prix. As the model year began, hundreds of orders were taken for SD-455 equipped cars, but due to delays certifying the engine for emissions, by March 1973 not a single SD-455 order had been filled. Pontiac thought about simply killing the project entirely and taking the loss, but enthusiastic engineers and marketeers suggested that since SD-455 engines had been built, it was more cost effective to sell them instead of scrapping them.
By February 1973 there were 673 outstanding orders (483 by customers) for SD-455 equipped cars. Pontiac conducted a survey to determine the status of the orders :
• About 50% of the customers stated the reason they ordered their Pontiac in the first place was for the SD-455 engine.
• 198 customers were still waiting for their order to be filled.
• 145 customers bought the same model, but with a lesser engine (almost all opted for the 455).
• 52 customers bought another car (21 were Pontiacs)
• 78 customers cancelled their order
• others did not reply
With a limited supply of engines, in March 1973 Pontiac announced the cancellation of the SD-455 for all models except Formula and Trans Am. By year end, 43 Formulas and 252 Trans Ams received the SD-455, and there was one 1973 Grand Am SD-455 built as a pilot car.

Tbh I had to search for info about the races because I totally forgot some things. So Singapore - carlando and Lewis podium! Monza - Carlos podium with all the tifosi. Cota - Lando leading some laps and a (robbed) Carlando podium! Interlagos - Lando sprint shootout pole! Silverstone - Lando taking the lead of the race and Lando and Lewis podium on their home race!
Actually Carlos and Lando are tied on 1. Lewis is Lewis. Oscar what a season for a rookie. And Yuki doing a fantastic job!
Top team Ferrari because I like to suffer.
Tagging… I think everyone has already done this 😅 but ok, I’m tagging @insilanar @4and55 @455-nation @cloudiness @clovermotors @sainzcaleruega @jennifernonuts @sainzjpeg @sainz @vamossainz55 @stufframblings @theserpentinelibrary @justdimaprops @lachamagaby-blog (sorry if you already done this and please feel free to ignore it) and everyone who sees this and wants to do it.
