For Sale: 1971 Pontiac Firebird in Mesa, Arizona

This 1971 Pontiac Firebird is a fresh build with a powerful look, well-done A/C interior, and a show-worthy 400 V8. It all makes for a distinct classic coupe that's both powerful and comfortable.


The odometer shows less than 100 miles since this one was complete, and we have over $23k in receipts documenting investments for components in 2018 alone. That's how you get a car that looks as fresh and crisp in real life as it does in the pictures. The white has a good gloss of a recent quality application; the body panels look great; there are well-integrated upgrades like the LED halo headlights; and there's nice chrome everywhere from the front grille surrounds to the form-hugging rear bumper. It's a thoughtfully laid out classic where the black makes a sporty contrast to the white on the full-width rear spoiler, fender vents, and iconic snowflake wheels.


All the black accenting of the exterior also gets you ready for the full black interior. The seats, door panels, carpeting, dash, and headliner all have the clean look of a new investment. This was also done with plenty of modern convenience in mind. That's why you have a cup holder center console, LED interior lighting, a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner, and a Vintage Air system with cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. It's also a classic built around the driver. You have a bucket seat, B&M shifter, and sports steering wheel on a tilt column. And the full Dakota Digital gauge package has a clean look to keep you fully informed about what's going on under the hood.


The engine bay may just win you awards all on its own. The clean and dark inner walls really funnel your attention to the bright heart in the middle. Not only do you have a ton of polished components, but also Pontiac's hallmark light blue block paint has the kind of radiance that some cars dream of having on their body panels. The mighty 400 cubic-inch V8 is an era-correct YS block, and it has been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock aluminum intake, and shorty headers feeding a Flowmaster dual exhaust. Plus, you'll also spot great supporting components, like upgraded pulleys w/serpentine belt system, Taylor pro race spark plug wires, and a Cold-Case aluminum radiator w/dual electric fans. The TH350 three-speed automatic transmission is from Hughes Performance to be both stout and smooth. And there's also power steering, power brakes with front discs, and wide Cooper Cobra tires to deliver an all-around solid driving package on this fresh build.


The sale comes complete with owner's manual, operator manuals for upgraded pieces, and build receipts. This is the sharp and powerful Firebird that was made to hit the streets. So if you're looking to enjoy the drive and turn heads doing it, call today!
