Vehicle Description
Immaculate: Perfectly clean, neat, or tidy; free from flaws or
mistakes; perfectImmaculate is the only word that can accurately
describe this stunning 1972 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400. The
pictures just cannot do the paint justice. The color is radiant,
almost fire like. It grabs your attention and smacks you in the
face. This Firebird is a truly unique resto-custom of a real deal,
super low production (estimated less than 300), PHS documented,
4-speed Firebird Formula 400. The body was stripped clean of the
number 63 Anaconda Gold top to bottom and was refinished in a
custom candy red fire metallic that is just as nice on the top as
it is on the floorboards underneath. While most restorers would be
content to spray a little undercoating in the wheel wells, you'll
find no such corner cutting here. Even the wheels wells are fully
painted and buffed to a high shine. The original wheels were
replaced with new and absolutely gorgeous Pontiac Rally II wheels
wrapped in white letter BFG's for that oh so period look. The
original numbers matching 400 engine was torn down, sanded smooth,
and refinished in a glossy gunmetal grey metallic. This theme was
carried through the rest of the engine and engine compartment, with
custom painted air cleaner, valve covers, oil pan, power steering
pump, water pump, heater box, brake master cylinder, and even the
power booster. Every chassis component underneath the car, the
driveshaft, the rear axle, even the gas tank received this same
attention to detail. Sanded smooth, painted, clear coated, and
polished. The finish on the fuel tank is nicer than on most new
cars. It is truly a shame you can't drive this car around upside
down. Polished Magnaflow stainless exhaust, stainless fuel and
brake lines went it, new brake cables, literally everything is new.
You could eat a steak dinner off the bottom of this Formula, and
lick the floor pans clean when you're done. The interior of this
Firebird was also completely torn out and refinished. The factory
covert beige(what a name) guts were replaced with beautiful black
vinyl seats and matching accents. The woodgrain trim on the dash
just screams 70's, and there are beautifully refinished white on
black gauge faces and a clock built into the tachometer. Amenities
include power steering, power disc brakes, tilt steering wheel,
AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo, and the stares from onlookers as you cruise
down the street are complimentary. The shift lever for the M20
Muncie gear box falls right to hand, and the acceleration picks up
nicely thanks to the 3.42 gear set in the 10-bolt out back. The
dual exhaust plays a smooth and powerful tone, classy but muscular,
think John Cena in a three-piece suit. We have seen a number of
early 70's F bodies through our doors, but I am confident to say
that this Formula is easily the best finished and detailed we have
ever seen. The attention to detail is truly astounding. Immaculate,
that's the word.....Contact Brian at 352-307-1968 and park this
