The interior features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl, a Hurst shifter with a factory oversized knob, woodgrain dash trim, and a Delco AM radio.
The car is equipped with unassisted front disc brakes. Painted 14″ Rally II wheels are mounted with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, which are said to have been installed recently. A finish imperfection is noted in the left quarter panel. The seller states that a factory fiberglass hood and tail panel remain, while the valance panel was reportedly replaced with a new old-stock item. The car was refinished in its factory Lucerne Blue using two-stage materials during a body-off restoration two years ago, and the condition of the paintwork is shown up close in the gallery below along with in-process photos of the refurbishment. This Formula is offered with a window sticker, Pontiac Historical Services documentation, a binder of paperwork, and transferable New York registration in the seller’s name. Additional equipment includes twin hood scoops, disc brakes, a floor shifter, an AM radio, Rally gauges, a dual exhaust system, and a 12-bolt rear axle with 3.55:1 gears. A refurbishment completed two years ago included a cosmetic refinishing in factory Lucerne Blue over black vinyl, and power comes from a 400ci V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission. This is distinct and powerful fun wrapped in a bold body.This 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula was first sold by Dan Thomas Pontiac of Asheboro, North Carolina and was acquired by the seller eight years ago in Arizona. Plus, there are upgraded four-wheel power disc brake, sway bars front & rear, and grippy sport tires afforded by the wheel upgrade. It's a powerful total package, and that's why you have stout components like a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. This one is enhanced with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and long tube headers feeding the H-pipe dual exhaust. And while the block has the classic/stock Pontiac turquoise, take a closer look.
The engine bay has a terrific stock style where you'll watch people at the car show point out the air intake that helps feed the big 400 cubic-inch V8 the fresh air from the hood scoops. There are also the right comfort features like an AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth, power windows, and provisions for air conditioning (it's running modern R134a but it will need servicing to blow cold again.) And it's set up to be a solid driver with low-back front bucket seats, a center console in-between, a classic Pontiac steering wheel with power steering, and upgraded gauges with tach.

There are also the right comfort features like an AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth, power windows, and provisions. Details like the three-piece rear spoiler and bright dual exhaust tips continue the sporty style, and there's an overall appeal here of a clean and straight example of the first year of the Firebird's 2nd gen.īlack interiors always look good on speedy machines, especially with a restoration investment in areas like the carpeting, door panels, and upholstery. And the wheels look like Pontiac's classic Rally II design, but they are really modern 17-inch alloys.
Plus, it pays tribute to that lineage with Polar White and blue stripes. The VIN tells us this was born a Trans Am, which is always desirable. The dual-scoop Ram Air hood complimented the color-matched Endura front end to put one of the era's most aggressive faces forward. This was the debut year for the Formula 400, and Pontiac really created something special. And of course, having a Ram Air 400ci V8 and upgrades like four-wheel disc brakes is the best way to honor GM's performance division. This 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 tribute has some great custom elements to celebrate the best of the Pontiac line. 400 V8, TH400 AUTO, POWER 4 WHEEL DISC BRAKES, 12 BOLT REAR, BORN A TRANS AM!
