Vehicle Description
Proudly wearing its original colors both inside and out and
propelled by a period correct engine beneath its hood that's
running strong, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 is one
seriously sharp looking classic muscle car. Recently restored while
retaining an outstanding amount of authenticity, it's logged just
enough running time to get everything dialed in and stands ready to
bring plenty of good times and admiration to its next lucky
owner.
Wearing fresh Atoll Blue paint and an assortment of proper badging
that really pops against its vibrant backdrop, this '70 is about as
impressive a representative for the model in its sweeping, second
generation form as you're likely to come across. That distinctive
shade is the very same one the car began life with and besides
being a killer color, it's got a nice, smooth finish, with no
distracting blemishes. The look from the front is unbeatable, with
those functional dual Ram Air scoops looming over a split front
grille that would remain a defining styling cue for decades to come
and a closer inspection from all angles will confirm just how
straight the body on this classic is. The assembly of chrome on
board - including the chrome rear bumper and rocker panels - really
looks clean as well and there's clear glass on all sides of the
cabin, which ups the vitality factor all the more.
Be prepared to be thoroughly impressed as you climb in and take
your position behind the wheel. This is a showstopper of an
interior - beyond question show quality - and it's also dressed in
its original bright blue color. The pair of front buckets and rear
bench seat are in great shape, showing no signs of tears or
pronounced wear as they sit over ultra-clean matching carpet while
straddling a center console in the same stellar condition. The
Hurst shifter beckons you to grab ahold and take a run through the
gears and, as you tap the accelerator and glance through the
steering wheel, you'll find a collection of clear, readable factory
gauges, all of which are in good working order and surrounded by a
woodgrain panel that seems to have been recently added.
Lift the hood and you'll find one well-detailed compartment below.
There's not so much as a wire out of place and every surface on
display has a freshly scrubbed appearance. At the center is a
period correct 400 cubic inch V8 wearing the very same heads,
intake manifold and Rochester 4-barrel carb this classic rolled off
the assembly line with. With a supply of cold, dense air being sent
its way via the functional Ram Air scoop, the powerplant is in top
form, pulling with conviction and teaming with a 4-speed manual
transmission that gives the driver maximum control of the its
output. The rock-solid drivetrain is rounded out by a 3.31
posi-traction rear end that puts power to pavement with maximum
efficiency. Power steering makes navigation nice and easy, while
power brakes that position discs up front bring the set of 15"
Rally wheels outfitted with BF Goodrich T/A Radials to dependable,
low-effort stops. Take a glance below and you'll see an
undercarriage that's reassuringly solid, and from that vantage
point you can also see the set of Bilstein shocks now on board to
smooth out the ride.
