Vehicle Description
The 1976 Pontiac Firebird Formula is not only a sleek machine with
a 400 V8 and an A/C interior, but also this one is coming off of
over four decades of long-term ownership. So as you look over the
whole car, it proves that there has been careful preservation and
the right maintenance investments.
The last time this Pontiac was titled was in 1978. Let that sink in
for a moment. You know people who were not yet born when this was
obtained by its last owner. And when you keep something for 42
years, it's because you care about it. That's why this
factory-correct Firethorn Red has a gloss that loves the sunshine,
and the body panels have the clean look of quality. We can
understand why a car like this would be kept with such good care.
1976 was the first year for the fully integrated urethane bumpers
that give this Pontiac a uniform appearance of a more modern sports
car. Speaking of being sporty, the Formula has great touches, like
the full-length rear spoiler, quad exhaust tips, and exclusive dual
scoop hood. Plus, Pontiac's "Honeycomb" wheels are practically
icons all on their own.
The correct buckskin tan vinyl interior looks quite clean,
complete, and stock. It's a tasteful looking color against the
exterior's fiery red, and it's a complete package with the bucket
seats, door panels, carpeting, dash, and center console looking
nice. The Formula like to show off its premium side, and so this
one has everything from wood-like trim to power windows. Even the
correct Delco AM/FM radio is still cranking out the tunes. If you
look in the trunk, you'll see the correct space saver tire with
inflation canister - that's how original this car is! In fact, the
only upgrade you may recognize is one that you won't see, but you
will definitely feel. The factory air conditioning is now blowing
cold with modern R134a refrigerant.
More of this car's authenticity is seen under the hood. The code YZ
400 cubic-inch V8 under the hood is believed to be the original and
even the low odometer is believed to reflect the car's actual
mileage. This is backed up by the very stock appearance of the
engine bay - from the corporate blue engine block, to the
stock-style exhaust. But a closer inspection also proves the right
newer items of a well-maintained classic. The mighty V8 fires up
with the eagerness of a well-respected machine, and the big torque
moves the coupe ease. In fact, it's built for all-around good
driving with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
power brakes w/discs up front, wide BF Goodrich tires, and a sway
bar in the rear.
Complete with owner's manual, it's good to know you're getting this
one from someone who cherished it as much as you will. A
low-mileage, ideal-year Firebird may be a once in a lifetime car,
so don't let this one slip through your fingers. Call today!!!
