Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this mostly original 1998
Pontiac Formula which is in fantastic original condition with low
actual miles of 72,559. This Formula is extremely rare being
only 1 of 4 every produced in Sport Metallic Gold paint with a 6
speed manual transmission. This Formula has never left the
greater Cincinnati area and comes with a clean car fax. This
Formula features original Gold paint, a nice pewter cloth original
interior, the original LS1 350 engine, and the very sought after
factory 6 speed manual transmission. This Formula is
absolutely solid and has no visible rust anywhere around the car or
under the car, and is very solid with great lines and gaps.
Its believed that this Formula has never had any body work
done and is all original sheet metal. This Formula is
finished in the beautiful and desirable color combinations of Sport
Metallic Gold (code 63U) over Pewter cloth interior. This is
the factory color scheme as verified by the RPO code label pictured
above. The low mileage is not only validated by the amazing
original condition of this Formula but also by the Ohio title
pictured below stating the mileage as "Actual."
Exterior
The Gold exterior is in very nice overall original condition.
This Formula is believed to never have had any paintwork done
and still hosts its original sheet metal and original factory
emblems. The paint is in excellent overall condition for its
age and there are no signs of visible rust and both bumpers are in
great shape with no flaking paint. There may be some minor
imperfections that are not noticeable in the photos, but noting was
intentionally excluded from the photos. Tires are newer and
have nearly full tread left on them and are correctly sized. The
Wheels are OEM originals and are in excellent shape with no curb
rash and have never been restored. All weather stripping and
window sweeps are original and in excellent condition. The
hatch area is factory stock and in great overall condition and the
t top rack works as it should and the spare tire and jack are in
the factory position. The underside of this Formula is honest
and extremely solid and rust free. It has not been touched up
with cheap spray paint or undercoating. All glass is factory
original "LOF" glass.
Interior
The Pewter cloth interior of this Formula is original and in great
condition. The seat covers are factory originals and in good
overall condition for their age and have no major wear, stains, or
seam splits, but there are a few burn holes especially in the
passenger upper center area. The carpet is original and looks
nearly perfect with no major stains, rips, or holes. The
original dash is in excellent condition with no major cracks or
fading. The original AM/FM CD Stereo sounds great and works
as it should and thankfully the dash has not been cut for a modern
stereo. The original door panels are in great condition and
both door pulls are solid and in tact. Amazingly they are not
cracked at the top as most of these era cars are. The
headliner is in excellent condition. All interior
lights and gauges work as they should including the cigarette
lighter. The horn, stereo, wipers, rear defrost, and blower
motor on all speeds all work. All power options work on the
car including power windows, power door locks, power drivers seat,
and power antenna. Traction control also works.
Mechanical
This Formula is in exceptional mechanical condition with only
72,5590 actual miles. This Formula runs and drives very well
and is a true joy to drive with the tops out and shifting through
the gears. It is very tight and its obvious the car has never
been apart. We have driven this Formula numerous times around
town and it drives wonderfully, it does not run hot, rides very
tight, and is a true joy to drive. There is no smoke when
starting or driving the car. The brakes are newer and do not
pull and stop as they should with several brake lines and hoses
recently replaced. Factory rear gears are 3.42 with posi
traction. Brand new Megna Flow exhaust was recently added
from the cats back. The car has a nice exhaust tone at idle
and cruising speeds. A short throw shifter was also added and
really makes shifting much nicer. The original shifter comes
with the car. Also, the engine is clean and nicely detailed
as one can see from the photos. The engine bay is very
unmolested and is very factory correct and a lot of the lines and
wires are factory original. This is a factory AC car and all
factory components are still on the car but the system appears to
need a charge to blow cold. This Formula has been loved and
meticulously cared for by its previous owners and the amazing
overall original condition of this Formula is a testament to that.
The outstanding originality of this Formula and the way it
drives is a true testament to prior owners care and love for this
special very rare car.
