Cincy Classic Cars is very proud to offer this stunning 1977
Pontiac Formula which is in fantastic fully restored condition with
over $25,000 in restoration receipts from 2009 forward. This
Formula was treated to a full frame on multi-year restoration
starting in 2009 with less than 5000 miles added since completed.
This Formula has been fully restored to a high level and looks and
drives fantastic and is like new or better than new in every
way. This Formula is very solid with excellent body lines and
gaps and there is no rust anywhere around the car and no bubbling
paint. Frame and under carriage is also very solid with no
seen rust. This Formula features a newer quality paint job, a
beautiful restored interior, a new 350 Chevy crate engine, a
rebuilt TH350 auto transmission, and a complete Vintage Air AC
system upgrade. This Formula is finished in the beautiful and
desirable color combinations of Starlight Black over Firethorn Red
vinyl interior. Just a beautiful color combination and rarely
seen on a second gen firebird.
Exterior
The Black exterior is in superb restored condition. This
Formula was treated to a professional repaint in recent years and
still has a show quality look. The paint quality is very nice
with an excellent gloss and is smooth to the touch. There is
no rust anywhere on the body of this Formula and the lines and gaps
are good. Both bumpers are in great shape with no flaking or
faded paint and no spider webbing. The front grills were
replaced during the repaint and so was the nose crest emblem.
There may be some minor imperfections that are not noticeable in
the photos, but noting was intentionally excluded from the
photos. Tires have great tread left and are sized 245/60/15
and the 15x7 snowflake wheels are OEM original wheels which are in
great shape with nice center caps and lug nuts. All weather
stripping and window sweeps are in excellent new condition.
The door seals, trunk seal, window sweeps, and window seals are all
new. Trunk is very solid and clean with an original space
saver spare tire, jack and new trunk mat. All glass is "LOF"
original style glass outside of the replaced windshield. The
sun roof was added prior to the restoration and does not leak in
any way and actually lets a lot of cool air in the car while
driving. It works as it should and does not rattle or cause
any concern.
Interior
The Firethorn vinyl interior of this Formula is in terrific fully
restored condition. The seat covers have been recently
replaced and are like new with no noticeable wear. The seat
foam was also replaced and the seat are very comfortable. The
carpet was replaced and in like new condition with no major stains,
rips, or holes. The dash is in excellent overall condition
and the dash bezel is in great condition as well. The two
prong AM/FM Digital Retrosound MP3 stereo was installed years ago
in the factory position so nothing was cut in the dash, and it
sounds great with the newer Pioneer speakers. The door panels
are new and in excellent condition and both door pulls are solid
and in tact. The headliner has been replaced and is like new
condition. The package tray was recently replaced and is in
like new condition and newer 6x9 speakers were added. All
interior lights and gauges work as they should including the clock
and cigarette lighter. The stereo, wipers, horn, and blower
motor all work. This car has not been smoked in; there is no
aroma what so ever.
Mechanical
This Formula is in excellent mechanical condition with a newer 350
Chevy crate engine that runs amazingly. From the factory this
car had a Chevy 305 so the Crate 350 is a nice upgrade. This
Formula has more power than stock and we estimate it to be around
300-325 HP. The TH 350 transmission was completely
rebuilt. Less than 5000 miles are on the complete
restoration. Receipts totaling over $25,000 for the
restoration come with the sale, so the frame on full restoration is
documented. We have driven this Formula numerous times on the
streets and highways and it always performs very well, does not run
hot, rides tight, and is a true joy to drive. In the video
one can observe this car running and driving with no excessive
rattles or noises, and the car handles and performs very well. This
Formula is an exceptional driver that feels great on the road and
at highway speeds. There is no smoke when starting or driving
the car. It starts right away every time, idles well, and
runs great. The brakes do not pull and stop as they should
and were serviced and upgraded with new master cylinder and all new
brake lines. A new gas tank was installed and all new full
lines were added. True dual Pypes exhaust was recently added
which gives this Formula an excellent rumble at idle and cruising
speeds. Ceramic coated headers were also installed.
Suspension has been upgraded including new leaf springs, coil
spring, shocks, end links, ball joints, bushings, body mounts, and
new engine and transmission mounts. A Serpentine belt system
has been added and the engine is exceptionally smooth and
responsive. New alternator and power steering system were
also added. Also, the engine is exceptionally clean and
nicely detailed as one can see from the photos. This is a
factory NON AC car but a complete Vintage Air AC system was added
and works perfectly and blows ice cold air and warm heat. The
system is very efficient and does not clutter up the engine
bay. This Formula has been loved and meticulously cared for
by its previous owners and nearly all wear items have been
replaced. The outstanding way this Formula looks and drives
is a true testament to prior owners care and love for this special
car. Notice the new body mounts under the car and newer leaf
springs.
