This 1970 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 underwent a modification and
refurbishment process that was completed in 2019 and involved the
installation of a 6.2-liter GM LT4 supercharged V8, a Tremec
six-speed manual transmission, and Detroit Speed suspension
components in addition to TMI Products bucket seats trimmed in
black vinyl, a roll bar, and Vintage Air climate control. Finished
in green metallic, the car is also equipped with hood scoops, Boze
18? alloy wheels, power rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel disc
brakes, power windows, and a retro-style digital stereo. Acquired
by the selling dealer in 2022, this Firebird is now offered with a
clean Florida title.
The body was refinished in its current shade of green under prior
ownership, and details include a Ram Air-style hood, dual side
mirrors, a chrome rear bumper, bright rocker panel trim, and tinted
windows.
Boze 18? alloy wheels wear Pontiac-logo center caps and are mounted
with 275/35 front and 335/30 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Rival tires.
Stopping power is from Baer disc brakes, cross-drilled and slotted
rotors, and a Detroit Speed booster. Power-assisted rack-and-pinion
steering is fitted, and the car rides on Detroit Speed suspension
components including a Quadra Link rear setup, front subframe with
tubular control arms, anti-sway bars, and coil overs at all four
corners.
The cabin was retrimmed during the refurbishment and features TMI
Products high-back front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered
in black vinyl with suede-style inserts. The dash pad and roll bar
are trimmed in leather, and Lizard Skin ceramic insulation has been
applied to the floors. Additional features include woodgrain
dashboard trim, a Hurst T-handle shifter, Vintage Air climate
control, power windows, front and rear audio speakers, and a
retro-style digital stereo with satellite reception and Bluetooth
connectivity.
The Formula-style steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a
tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 64k
miles, approximately 1k of which were added by the selling
dealer.
The 6.2-liter GM LT4 V8 crate engine was installed as part of the
build and equipped with a 1.7-liter Eaton R1740 TVS supercharger.
Additional modifications include a Killer Chiller heat exchanger,
an aluminum radiator, a Holley oil pan, ceramic-coated exhaust
headers, and a 3? stainless-steel exhaust system.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Tremec six-speed
manual transmission and a 9? rear axle assembly.
