The twin of the Chevrolet Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird was renowned
for its sleek design and muscular performance. With its distinctive
styling, iconic split grille, and bold presence on the road, the
Firebird captured the essence of the golden age of muscle cars in
the 1960s and 1970s. This 1976 Pontiac Firebird Formula is the real
deal, featuring a dual-snorkel hood, a massive engine, and plenty
of originality to boot. Popping open the hood reveals a 400 C.I.
Pontiac V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, a combination
that delivers adrenaline-pumping thrills every time you press the
throttle. Torque is put to the pavement through a TH350 3-speed
automatic transmission connected to a positraction rear axle, which
shifts smoothly and seamlessly as this Firebird glides down the
highway. The exterior's straight, curvy bodylines are covered in a
correct shade of "Firethorn Red", which looks beautiful in the sun
after being buffed to a brilliant shine. It matches up well with
the plentiful "FORMULA" decals and "Cameo White" canopy vinyl top,
which itself matches the interior! The undercarriage of this '76
Firebird is both rock-solid and rust-free, with original rust-free
floors, frame rails, trunk, and door jambs. Opening the twin doors
welcomes you into a fabulous white vinyl interior, which is mostly
original and is presented with comfy bucket seats that are perfect
for cruising. The original gauges & tachometer still sit in the
dash, and a vintage-style AM/FM digital pushbutton radio lets you
crank the tunes as you drive! Other options on this stunning '76
Pontiac include power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes, a
tilt woodgrain steering wheel, complete factory A/C, under-dash
speakers, a remote mirror, dual sport mirrors, and a mean-sounding
dual exhaust system. The car is shoed with a striking set of 18"
Pontiac rally wheels wrapped with blackwall tires for a seriously
attractive appearances that's sure to turn heads wherever it is
driven! Rest assured, this '76 Firebird both runs and drives great
and is ready to jump in and enjoy at the push of a pedal. It's not
going to be on the showroom for long, so don't let it pass you
by!
