Vehicle Description
This 1979 Pontiac Firebird not only has the look of an earlier
Formula coupe, but there's also sharp paint, a sports suspension,
and an A/C interior. It makes for both an impressive and affordable
coupe.
This is a very cool coupe. After all, some of us regard 1976 as one
of the best design years for the 2nd gen Firebird, and so this 1979
model was given a full retro conversion. They even made sure to
give it the 1975 tail lights and rear bumper. So unless someone
really knows their VINs, most people at cars & coffee will just
assume this 1979 Esprit is a 1976 Formula. This is a comprehensive
package where you get the three-piece rear spoiler, Rally II
wheels, and the cool rocker stripe that's an awesome mix of black
and blue. And of course, no Formula would be complete without a
dual scoop hood. Plus, the good body lines and clean white paint
give this a great total cruiser attitude.
The black interior has a nice sense of style against the black
rocker stripe on the outside. It's clean, dark, and quite
comfortable. You even have cold-blowing air conditioning. Plus,
this feels like a real driver's car. You have high-back front
bucket seats with an armrest center console in-between. The classic
Pontiac sports steering wheel is on a tilt column. And there's a
proper full gauge package with a large speedo and tach.
Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8, and more of this car's
incognito style makes this upgrade look quite stock and correct.
You'll also spot nice upgrades like an HEI distributor and an
Edelbrock intake. This makes for a solid driver's coupe that makes
a sweet tune out of the dual exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers.
Subframe connectors and sway bars front & rear make for a nice
sports car experience. And the three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide BF Goodrich
T/As give you a solid any-time cruiser.
This is the classic Firebird made to be an even more desirable '76
Formula. So if you like value and style in your V8-powered classic,
this is the one to have. Call today!!!
