Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this excellent 1973
Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Ram Air. This Formula 400 Firebird
checks off all the necessary boxes to make this a worthy car for
the first time "Muscle Car" purchaser looking to have fun, or the
long-time collector looking to add to an existing collection. The
first box to be checked off is "appearance". How appealing does it
look? At first glance, the Navajo Orange is an eye catcher and
combines well with the beige bucket interior. The front end looks
aggressive and sucks you in with dual snorkel functioning "Ram Air"
hood. The sleek, bold styling of the car exudes a classy confident
attitude. The second box is "performance". This Firebird performs
just as good as it looks. It boasts a 400 cubic inch numbers
matching motor, along with a 4-barrel carburetor and "Ram Air"
option. All you need to do is step on the gas to awaken the
sleeping giant. Power is transferred from the engine through a
Turbo Hydromatic 400 automatic transmission to a 10 bolt
posi-traction rear end which now houses 3.42 gears. The third box
is "value". To some this may be the most important box. How do you
determine value or forecast value in a car? There are several
factors that affect this category: two of which are already checked
off. Let's think in the terms of supply and demand. In 1973,
Pontiac only produced 4,622 Formula 400 cars. Many fell victim to
the crusher or salvage yard. Some were torn apart and key authentic
components were replaced with non-original parts. Others are parked
in non-operating condition and rusted out in a field, barn, or
garage. Very few of the 4,622 that were produced made it to 2018
with original equipment that were also kept in prestigious
condition. Of the 4,622 Formula 400 vehicles, only 533 had the
functioning "Ram Air" hood. Yes, this is one of the 533 born with
that very special option. Another factor of determining value is,
"can you prove the car is what it is?" Yes, with documentation,
VIN, data plate, and number stampings, which this 73 Pontiac
Firebird Formula 400 Ram Air has. Lastly, with Camaro's fetching
top tier prices, the focus has turned to what the next "Muscle Car"
to ignite is. Buying trends are already showing favorable promise
to the second-generation Firebirds. When you take all of this into
consideration, this car is a trustworthy investment. Most of all,
you can hop in and enjoy cruising it while your investment
appreciates. You can place a big check mark in this box! Options
include (cold) Air Conditioning, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Tilt
Wheel, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior, Raised White Letter Radial
Tires, Rally Wheels, and Posi Traction. This 1973 Pontiac Firebird
